This hot pot was bought as a gift, so i cannot comment as to how well it cooks japanese food! I WOULD ASSUME IT should work well as was demonstrated on the Mathartha Stewart show.

Summary: Delicious, mouthwatering and enoyable japanese recipes. 2010-03-19
Comment: I am a huge fan of soups and stews, for breakfast or/and dinner, for winter or/and summer. Of course the problem is the length and work they take to prepare and cook. I have to confess that at first I was a little intimidated by Japanese Hot Pots because of the strenuous work I assumed it implied. Quite the contrary. The recipes are easy to follow, the process itself very concise, creative and quick. The result is a luscious stew that admits almost any thing on it, even while I am already serving it, I remember I have other ingredients in the fridge that might go well in it, and they always do! One of my favorites is the one called "strawberry" to designate balls made of shrimp and ginger, oh my G, those balls are so fine and delicious! Me and my friends keep talking about "the pink balls" and make plans to cook them again and again.
The book is also very beautifully laid out(I love the square format!) with some mouthwatering pictures on it that will not let you to wait any more to taste them. All the basics are very well-explained and illustrated and all of the ingredients are easy to find in the specialized groceries. They are also easy to remember recipes that you can keep on improvising and adding and changing. And the taste of these hot pots... once you have tasted them, you will be hooked for life. There is something quite addictive on it, and you will find yourself daydreaming for another bowl, and another...

Summary: Warning: You will be HOT POT Obsessed!!! 2010-01-13
Comment: It took one hot pot recipe - the one with the hand pulled dumpling to open the door. Then I needed a new hot pot. I have tried these recipes with both my donabe and electric skillet. It has completely converted my meatasaurus husband to eating his vegetables. He was delightfully eating the cabbage!?! I couldn't believe my eyes. Not to mention, it was such a healthy way of cooking that tastes absolutely delicious, fresh and robust at the same time. It truly warms the soul
My one recommendation - Have a couple recipe options available since not all ingredients are readily available. You will find that almost all the ingredients are available at a well-stocked Japanese grocery store.
