Thank you so much. This is better than the other way I read where you soak it for 24 hours and drying it in the sun, which I don’t have right now because it’s been cold and overcast in the Bay Area lately. Porridge it is,

[@markmccabe4516]

Thanks. I just bought a donabe pot at a local Japanese store here in San Diego, CA. I will use your guidelines before using the donabe.

[@asimplefarmer]

I didn’t even know you are supposed to season them!

[@GoodCookingIdeas]

This is exactly what my mom told me to season a clay pot. Give you a big like

[@hannahwong280]

I just got a small donabe like yours from Ginpo and their instructions say to season with flour and water which I thought was interesting since I usually season my big donabe with rice porridge. Thanks for sharing!

[@famuel2604]

The rice method is the same. The starch in the rice means that you are filling the pores in your pot with starchy water which is slightly adhesive. Flour in water is the same

been meaning to get to toiro. Thanks for the information on the nabe.

[@rebeccawong1]

Pretty looking pot ☺️

[@dreamchaser7554]

amazing

[@thereisonlythecave]

Thank you, very interesting. How long does it take for a wet donabe to dry completely?

[@anthonygale5456]

The bottom must be dry before you put on the fire, but you then add water inside. does the inside have a special coating?

Thanks it’s a useful clip 3:17

Thank you for this video! I just picked up my first donabe ever from Toiro Kitchen today and this video helped me.

[@SoyandPepper]

Happy to hear it! Enjoy your donabe :)

[@AlohaYeshua]

Aloha, please share link or website so that we viewers could purchase these beautiful pieces
I have found Japanese clay pots that I found in thrift stores and I appreciate these pieces sooo much because I love cooking outdoor and looking for more to add to my outdoor kirchen

[@kimchianthony]

do you know if the donabe can be used on a glass cook range?

[@jennybarin2448]

I have a new donabe, also purchased from Toiro! Before seasoning, do I need to wash it first? I also heard you're not supposed to use soap when cleaning - is that true?

[@SoyandPepper]

Awesome congrats on your new donabe!

[@SoyandPepper]

U can wash it with mild soap. Dry it upside down and make sure IT’s completely dry before seasoning

[@jasmineglason1469]

Hi, I didn’t know I needed to season it before using. I only used it once. Can I still season it and it will be ok?

[@SoyandPepper]

Yes! you can season it anytime :)

[@jieguo]

may I ask why do you need to season this pot since it is capable to be heated empty? Thanks

[@SoyandPepper]

It cannot be heated when it’s empty!!! It needs liquid in it or it will crack.
Season the pot helps close up and pores and preserves the pot to prevent it from cracking and leakage

[@TheDingfish]

​@@SoyandPepper0:24 you literally say the new one is able to be heated without any liquid in it

[@Zaphandyman]

is it dishwasher safe?

[@SoyandPepper]

100% NO
