Please note that Japanese Donabe requires seasoning prior to use since the pot is made of clay and it is naturally porous. You may consider the following steps to season your donabe:
1) Clean your pot and fill it with 80% of water;
2) Add approximately 20% of rice;
3) Put it on a stove and wait till the water is boiled, then turn your stove to low heat to continue cooking till your rice turns into sticky porridge;
4) Turn off the stove and let the porridge cool down for at least one hour (Ideally to let it sit overnight);
5) Clean your pot, wipe it carefully and make sure it is completely dry before your next use.
This seasoning process will help make your donabe's life longer.

Hand wash only. Please let it cool down first before washing.
