Cooking Tips with the ANAORI kakugama

When cooking with the ANAORI kakugama, it is important to fry quickly at high heat. Normally, cooking causes food to lose moisture and shrink, but the kakugama has a unique effect: it cooks food gently with minimal damage, allowing it to expand from the inside. The result is food that is crispy on the outside, yet fluffy and juicy on the inside, with all its natural moisture perfectly retained—achieving the ideal fry every time.
