Is this only for soups or a multipurpose pot that can be used for saut&eacute;ing and rice dishes?

Hi there It is a fantastic pot that you can use for EVERYTHING you want: rice dishes are splendid inside and sauting is also no problem. The taste of the food is better in the clay pot. I am absolutely contented with my Kotobuki Donabe pots. I also have the: Kotobuki 190-803 Earthenware Rice Cooker, Matte Black and it`s the best rice taste I ever had!! Best wishes Adriana

It doesn't hold a lot of veggies. You could cut a potato in half and steam some green beans or broccoli. That's it. Enough for one person for a meal. Not enough for two. (Although I use it constantly as it works brilliantly at steaming dumplings.) And yes, you can cook rice and steam together.

This pot would cook pasta just fine if cooking for no more than two people. It is a little small for a large amount of pasta. I use my pot more for pot roast, stew and soups. It is a great pot.

It's okay, but if you do a lot of pasta, look for a taller pot. Other notes: this is our go to pot for pasta sauce and soup, you can saute and then add the other ingredients saving a lot of time and pot washing.

I am careful with this pot. I use if for spaghetti boiling or for vegetables. For stews or higher heat foods use heavier pot.

I would say no, but you might get away with a rice dish. It's a clay pot so dry high heat probably isn't good for it, would just stick with soups or a braise.

It is a good heavy stock pot just like the ones my mother bought years ago. The surface is nice and smooth and cleanup is easy. I bought mine to make soup in all winter long. I love the pot and would recommend it for soup or rice.

I have only used it for ice cream thus far. It is not insulated, so it would not keep the soup warm for a prolonged period of time. Also, it will not protect your hands very well from the heat of the soup inside.

This can be used for a variety of dishes. I've used mine for soups, to mix cake batter and to blend smoothies (without ice of course).

There is only one clay pot - I don't think you can steam and cook rice at the same time. It is an excellent rice cooker though.

I would not recommend it, for it is too delicate. It is to be used as a tranfer pot for your already boiled water source and for serving and/or steeping.

I would say yes to Soups, but I can't imagine using it for Macaroni. Even with soups you would want to be sure to wash it thoroughly so no grease was left on the sides to change the flavor of future water usage.I love this Hot Pot but only use it for boiling water.

You can use it to cook anything. Lobsters, clams, shrimp, chowders, etc. Greens, soups, beans etc.

It can be used for simmering or sautéing. The pan itself is heavy, well constructed and likely to last many, many years with care. The poaching cups and holder are a lot less sturdy, but then there really isn't much else use for them. In all, this could be an heirloom piece, easily lasting a few generations with proper care.

Yes. So this item isn't good for heating soups, etc., but works great for heating water.

Yes it can.I have bought it for soup mixing,and work just fine. Because it is wire less it is easy to use around hot pots and pans ,without wording about causing and accident on the kitchen.

I use it frequently to boil pasta and it works perfectly fine. But, you are seeing it correctly; it's not tall and slim like a traditional pasta pot if that's what you're specifically looking for. However, it's an excellent all around pot. Great to make a big batch of sauce and meatballs for your pasta : )
