- Handwash with a soft sponge and wipe dry
- Air dry the pot upside down before storing to prevent the clay from absorbing moisture
- Do not wash with abrasive cleaning products
Before first time use, we recommend seasoning your donabe. The process is called "Medome," and it extends the life of the pot by sealing all the tiny pores, preventing possible cracks and leaks.
- Wash the donabe and dry well with the bottom side facing up
- Fill the pot with 8 parts water and a bowl of left over rice
- Stir to loosen the rice and cook slowly over low heat until it thickens
- After making a very pasty porridge, turn off the heat and allow the pot to cool down (for more than an hour)
- Remove the porridge and rinse well (the porridge is edible)
