Daikoko Banko ware stovetop ceramic grill

Made in Japan - 12" wide at the handles

This specialized Yakiniku ceramic grill is ideal for indoor bbq on stovetop or table-side. The domed shape of the grill allows for excessive oil to drip down to the side. Because of this, the grill will smoke less and be easier to clean and care for. Unlike other ceramic ware, which need to gradually introduce even heat as to not break, Daikoku ceramics can be transferred directly from the refrigerator to the stovetop.

When cooking with Banko ware, a far infrared wavelength is created which creates more efficient cooking than direct surface conducted heating. Banko ware can be used on gas range tops, inside an oven and for brief re-heatings- microwave ovens. Banko ware is not suitable for electric range tops (electric oven is ok), no deep frying or use on induction burners.

Banko ware aka Banko Yaki （萬古焼）or Yokkaichi Banko Yaki is a heat resistant earthenware that has been made in Mie prefecture since the 18th century. It represents the majority of stoneware for cooking produced in Japan, and is officially recognized as a traditional Japanese craft. The addition of petalite added to the clay gives Banko ware an excellent heat resistance and allows it to be exposed to direct flame.
