Japanese Drop Lid Stainless Steel

Drop Lid

When simmering there are always bits of food that insist on floating to the surface that get exposed to air instead of taking on the flavour of the simmering liquid as they should.

Many a chef will craft a #cartouche from baking paper but instead of wasting time and mis-measuring the third time around, using this fully adjustable drop lid will do the same job without the fuss.

• fully adjustable from 13-24cm
• stainless steel
• dishwasher safe
  
• splays apart for easier cleaning
• Perfect for making nimono, oden and kinoko no tsukudani along with western dishes.

#cartouche - is a lid made from a circle of baking paper with a hole cut in the middle that covers the surface of stews, soups etc. Its job is to slow down evaporation and keep ingredients submerged while controlling an even simmer in the pot or pan.
