A wooden ohitsu absorbs excess steam from freshly cooked rice and then releases moisture as time passes, so the rice stays neither sticky nor dry, keeping just the right texture and flavor.\u003cbr\u003eCOBITSU uses high-quality domestic hinoki to achieve humidity regulation like that of an excellent ohitsu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3585\/3224\/files\/COBITSU_detail_563_3.png?v=1716771754\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe \"Steamer Effect\" Heats Evenly and Keeps Rice Moist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen cold rice is reheated in a steamer, the moisture that had escaped is returned by the steam in just the right amount, leaving the rice plump, glossy, and like freshly cooked. When you heat COBITSU in the microwave, the moisture it has absorbed is released as steam and fills the container, warming the rice inside evenly. At the same time, excess heat and steam escape moderately through the gap between the body and the lid, allowing the rice to be heated much like in a steamer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3585\/3224\/files\/COBITSU_detail_9_563_3.png?v=1716771754\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBasic Usage – Storage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro_txt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txt_parallel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStep one,\u003c\/h4\u003e\nJust before adding the rice, lightly moisten the inside of the COBITSU body and the inside of the lid, shake off the water, and quickly wipe off the moisture with a paper towel or dishcloth.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.masuza.co.jp\/pic-labo\/IMG_9718_563_375.jpg\" alt=\"COBITSU_商品文章内_その一\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro_txt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txt_parallel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStep two,\u003c\/h4\u003e\nLightly spoon in freshly cooked, hot rice, filling it to about 80% full.\u003cbr\u003e* If time passes after the rice is cooked, it will no longer keep its original flavor.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.masuza.co.jp\/pic-labo\/IMG_9117_563_375.jpg\" alt=\"COBITSU_商品文章内_その二\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro_txt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txt_parallel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStep three,\u003c\/h4\u003e\nPut on the lid and fasten the silicone band.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.masuza.co.jp\/pic-labo\/IMG_9154_563_375.jpg\" alt=\"COBITSU_商品文章内_その三\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro_txt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txt_parallel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStep four,\u003c\/h4\u003e\nPlace it in the freezer right away.\u003cbr\u003e* The lid may warp upward slightly as it absorbs moisture from the rice, but this does not affect use.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.masuza.co.jp\/pic-labo\/IMG_9143_563_375.jpg\" alt=\"COBITSU_商品文章内_その四\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro_txt\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"intro_ttl\"\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro_txt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txt_parallel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStep one,\u003c\/h4\u003e\nRemove the silicone band and, with the lid on, microwave at 500 W for 3 to 3 and a half minutes.\u003cbr\u003e* Heating results vary depending on the amount of rice and the performance of your microwave.
