The One Drop Lid That Fits All My Cookware
Otoshibuta is a traditional Japanese drop lid that sits right on top of the food as it cooks. This helps the broth and heat circulate evenly, keeps delicate ingredients like fish or vegetables from breaking apart, and prevents too much liquid from evaporating so flavors stay concentrated.
For generations, it was made of wood, but I love this modern stainless steel version, and here’s why:

1. One lid fits all

The lid expands and folds to fit pots with an inner diameter of 5.1–9.1 inches (13–23 cm). One lid works for all my saucepans, so I don’t have to keep multiple sizes in my kitchen.
2. Built to last

Made in Japan’s famed Tsubame-Sanjo region, this high-quality drop lid is heat-resistant, sturdy, and dishwasher safe. Unlike wood, it won’t warp, crack, or wear out over time.
3. Clean and worry-free

Wooden lids absorb odors and moisture, which can lead to bacterial growth. Stainless steel is non-porous, so it’s safe, clean, and worry-free!
I love the versatility and durability of this drop lid, and I hope you’ll enjoy using it as much as I do in your home cooking!
