IWATANI

Many Bangkok kitchens, especially in condos, do not come with a gas hob. Iwatani gives us a safe, compact flame exactly where we need it: beside a donabe, at the centre of the table.

The portable stove is easy to store, simple to set up and steady enough for hotpot, shabu-shabu or tabletop grilling. Iwatani has worked with household gas in Japan since the 1950s, so the convenience comes with reassuring safety engineering. We keep it because a good pot deserves a proper heat source, even when the kitchen does not provide one.
