Although the name is "basket," can it be placed on a gas stove or induction cooktop and used for boiling?
Because of the basket-like shape, it is confusing whether it can be placed over heat, and people wonder if it can actually be heated and used for household tasks such as boiling dishcloths or sterilizing.
It is made seamlessly from a single 1mm-thick sheet, allowing both direct flame and induction heating, but it should only be used for boiling water and sterilizing, not for cooking.
Although the shape is that of a basket, its structure is closer to a single-sheet container. Kajidonya's small basket is not woven from thin wire, but shaped seamlessly from a single 1mm-thick metal sheet[1]. Because it is smoothly continuous without gaps, heat is transferred directly not only on direct flame sources like gas stoves or radiant cooktops, but also on induction cooktops[2][3].
Inside, there are circular measurement marks indicating 1L and 2L, making it suitable for measuring water volume and boiling dishcloths or cooking utensils[4]. However, when placed over heat, its use should be limited to boiling water, and it should not be used for cooking ingredients[5]. This is because boiling seasoned or oily foods makes it easy for residue to stick to or scorch the thin bottom surface. After boiling sterilization, it can be conveniently cleaned by placing it in a dishwasher[6].

The degree of heat transferred to the handles right after heating, as well as the availability of a dedicated lid, have not yet been confirmed.
