★Cooking Tips with the ANAORI kakugama
This is a recipe where the meat mixture is sandwiched between lotus root slices. By cooking it on the kakugama’s outer lid (grill pan), even ingredients that are usually difficult to cook through can be heated evenly and quickly. The heat penetrates from the inside, allowing the dish to expand slightly as it cooks, creating a far-infrared effect similar to charcoal grilling. |
