Smooth, safe finish: Polished surface reduces rough edges and won't scratch skin during handling or damage cookware when placed in pots and kettles. Large capacity: Enlarged internal volume holds more spices, herbs, or aromatics so you can flavor larger batches at once and meet everyday household cooking needs. Multifunctional use: Designed to contain solid seasonings while allowing flavor to infuse—ideal for hot pot marinades, brewing tea, or simmering soups and stocks. Reliable performance: Keeps whole spices and herbs contained for easy removal after cooking, simplifying cleanup and ensuring consistent flavor without loose bits in the dish. Practical use scenarios Hot pot or stew: Load with bay leaves, star anise, peppercorns, and other spices to infuse a communal hot pot without scattering solids into the broth. Soup and stock: Place bones and herb bundles inside to steep flavors during long simmering, then remove the seasoning ball for a clear, debris‑ soup. Tea and infusion: Use with loose tea leaves or spice blends to brew a strong, easy‑to‑strain cup without paper filters or mess. What it solves Eliminates loose spice fragments in finished dishes.
