A lid does not do the same job. You can easily test the effectiveness of an otoshi buta for yourself by making some simmered dish with and without an otoshi buta.<br /><br />I would recommend paper towel, while others use parchment paper/aluminum foil (with or without a hole at the center).Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-88255120651205328932014-02-04T03:54:24.940+09:002014-02-04T03:54:24.940+09:00Regarding to the otoshi buta, if the sole purpose ...Regarding to the otoshi buta, if the sole purpose is to help circulate liquid and to keep it from evaporation, wouldn't a lid does the same job?

A wooden otoshi buta can get smelly very easily, and requires a lot of care. An otoshi buta or something similar is not optional but required if the liquid level is lower than the ingredients being cooked to help the liquid circulate evenly and keep it from evaporating.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-53815604707615727472014-02-03T13:19:45.170+09:002014-02-03T13:19:45.170+09:00The use of paper towel can replace otoshi buta?

I never really understand fully the use of the otoshi buta, can you explain? <br /><br />okasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260327403036041094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-51389875786716715602014-01-30T07:00:38.274+09:002014-01-30T07:00:38.274+09:00Kiki: That's too bad!

I think it was shortly after 安倍 晋三 visited the war shrine but I don't dare to ask. The online supplier sells Hon mirin for about 14.90 Euro (1 liter). Before I payed less. Now I use a taiwanese product: Wan Ja Shan Mirin.Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.com
