Yukihira pot - Yukihira pot

Japanese: 行平鍋 - ゆきひらなべ
Yukihira pot - Yukihira pot

A thick ceramic pot, a type of earthenware pot. It is also written as Yukihira Nabe. It is also simply called "Yukihira". The origin of the name is said to be from the vessel used to roast salt, as Ariwara no Yukihira (818-893) had female divers roast salt in Suma. In addition to a lid, it has a handle and a spout. It is said to have been made towards the end of the Tenmei era (1781-89), and replaced the small cast iron pots that were used until then for single servings. It heats gently and has good heat retention, making it suitable for cooking porridge and gruel. Aluminum or copper hammered pots with wooden handles are also called Yukihira Nabe.

Japanese:

厚手の陶製の鍋で、土鍋の一種。雪平鍋とも書く。単に「ゆきひら」ともいう。語源は、在原行平(ありわらのゆきひら)(818―893)が須磨(すま)で海女(あま)に塩を焼かせたという故事があり、塩を焼くのに用いた器にちなんだものといわれている。蓋(ふた)のほか、持ち手と注(つ)ぎ口がついている。天明(てんめい)(1781~89)の末ごろからつくられるようになり、それまで用いられていた一人前用の鋳物製の小鍋にとってかわるようになったといわれる。加熱が穏やかで保温力がよいので、粥(かゆ)や重湯(おもゆ)を炊くのに適している。なお、アルミニウムや銅の打出鍋で、木製の柄のついた片手鍋も行平鍋という。
