Is this only for making soups or is it all purpose pot for saut&Atilde;&copy;ing and rice dishes?

It's all-purpose as long as you use liquids to cook with. I wouldn't use it for sauteing, a donate might crack.

I am sort of curious why you would want to make miso soup in this type of cook pot?

The LOWER part is an excellent pasta cooker and the steamer top can maybe even be used as a collandar to drain the water afterwards. Pasta needs to be cooked in lots of water so it can absorb water and make it soft and edible. The steamer top is great for cooking vegetables but not pasta. This is a great multi-purpose pot!

I actually do use it for soup. Of course you have to be careful, like opening a hot radiator.

Yes and no. If you have one simple dish like spaghetti then yes but if you have meat, rice and veggies and you don't want it all mixed together then no. I mainly use it for soups.

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's not ideal to cook rice and/ or sauté foods in this dish, as it is not non-stick. It is perfect however for Japanese Hot Pots ....... just don't forget to soak the dish first. Happy cooking �

I bought this pot to use for small meals. Used it the first day I got it. Plugged it in....added my ingredients and by dinner time that night had delicious stew. Using it like any other crock pot so I have no idea why it says that. But you can in fact cook in it. Maybe it means you can't use it on the stove.

This pot is great for boiling lasagna noodles. It can handle anything you want to put in it. It's a "10"!

I believe that it was designed for pasta. Well, that is what I use it for. I actually use this pot for a lot of things, anything that needs to be strained or steamed. Hope this is helpful.

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 : )

Extremely light. It's basically for stocks and thin liquids, i.e. pasta, blanching vegetables, etc., so a thick-sided pot is not necessary and this thin-sided one is perfect and quite light. If you are looking for a thicker, heavier pot for long cooking food..thick soups, sauces, stews, etc., this is not the pot.

I put both pots in which I have cooked (e.g. for soups or stews), and serving dishes for vegetables and meats etc. I find it very useful, as virtually all the surface of the appliance is at the same temperature - no cold spots.

I've used this pot for everything you can think of since I've had. It sits on my stove all the time. Chili, french fries, beans, soup, spagetti, etc.

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.

This pot is for use on ANY stove or burner. It is a very high quality pot, but will experience some discoloration (nothing to worry about).

Yes, this is what I originally bought it for. It is also great for shrimp, vegetables, soup stock, etc.
