An otoshibuta, or "drop lid," is a lid slightly smaller than the pot it covers, designed to rest directly on top of ingredients during cooking. This convection technique helps prevent uneven cooking, dryness, or excessive broth evaporation. By keeping ingredients submerged and intact, otoshibuta aids in maintaining the integrity of the dish, while enhancing flavor absorption throughout the cooking process.
