Convivio Alessi Otoshibuta Wooden Cooking Lid

Inspired by traditional Japanese cooking, the Convivio Alessi Otoshibuta Wooden Cooking Lid is the ideal accessory for slow, gentle and even cooking. Unlike conventional glass or stainless steel lids, the Otoshibuta is an inner lid that sits directly on the food, helping to keep it submerged and cook it more gently and in a more controlled way.

It's an ideal lid for stews, pulses, fish or delicate foods. The lid is made in Italy from cypress wood. Beautiful, elegant and highly functional: you'll see how this simple approach gives you more carefully cooked results. 

How to use the Otoshibuta wooden lid 

Simply place it inside the pot directly on top of the ingredients while they cook. The lid helps keep them under the liquid and reduces the movement of the liquid as it boils. This allows heat, juices and flavours to spread more evenly and better preserves the shape and texture of the food.

This lid is especially useful for slow-cooking foods with a delicate texture that you want to keep whole.
