Hario, Glass-Lid Stovetop Rice Cooker, Large (2–3 Go)
Watch Your Rice Cook, and Let It Whistle When It's Done
This is stovetop rice cooking made foolproof. A heatproof ceramic pot gives you the even, enveloping heat that produces glossy, separate grains, while Hario's signature heatproof glass lid lets you watch the whole thing happen, no lifting the lid and letting the steam out. Best of all, it whistles when the rice is ready, so there is no guessing and no clock-watching: bring it to the boil, wait for the whistle, rest, and fluff. No electricity, no non-stick coatings, just proper rice on the hob. This is the larger model, for 2 to 3 go.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Even ceramic heat: a heatproof ceramic pot for glossy, evenly cooked grains
- Watch it cook: Hario's heatproof glass lid lets you see the rice without lifting it
- Whistles when ready: a built-in whistle signals the moment to cut the heat
- No coatings, no power: pure stovetop cooking, easy to clean
How to Use
- Fill: add washed rice and water to the pot
- Heat: bring to the boil on a gas hob, watching through the glass
- Wait for the whistle: when it whistles, turn off the heat
- Rest and fluff: leave to steam, then fluff before serving
炊飯 — Cooking rice on the hob, the Hario way
Long before electric cookers, Japanese rice was cooked on the stove in a heavy pot, and many cooks still swear it tastes better that way: a fierce boil, a steady simmer, then a rest, all driven by even, radiant heat. The catch has always been knowing exactly when each stage is reached without lifting the lid. Hario, the celebrated Japanese heatproof-glass maker, solves it with a glass lid you can see through and a whistle that calls time for you. The pot itself is heatproof ceramic, which holds and spreads heat beautifully. It turns a skilled, fiddly job into something anyone can get right.

Is the pot made of glass?
No, and this is worth clearing up: the pot is heatproof ceramic, and it is the lid that is heatproof glass. The ceramic body gives the even, retained heat that cooks rice well, while the glass lid is Hario's clever touch, letting you watch the boil and the steam without breaking the seal. So you get the cooking performance of a ceramic donabe-style pot with the visibility of glass on top.

How many people does it serve?
This larger model cooks 2 to 3 go of rice (roughly 300–450g uncooked), enough for around two to three people as a main rice portion, or more as a side. For one or two people, or where counter space is tight, the smaller Hario Rice Cooker, Small is the better fit.
Can I use it on induction?
No. It is a ceramic stovetop pot designed for a gas hob or open flame, not an induction hob, which needs a magnetic metal base. On gas it gives the even, radiant heat that cooks rice so well.
How do I clean it?
Because there is no non-stick coating, it cleans up simply with warm water; let the ceramic pot cool before washing to avoid thermal shock. The glass lid and ceramic pot are straightforward to keep clean by hand. Avoid sudden temperature changes (such as cold water on a hot pot) to protect the ceramic and glass.
