Authentic Japanese Cherry Blossom Donabe Clay Pot for Cold Season Cooking

Usage Precautions

When handling this fragile clay pot, it is important to exercise caution to ensure its longevity and safety.

1. Handle with care at all times to prevent breakage.
2. Avoid using the pot for frying, sautéing, or any oily dishes to prevent the risk of fire.
3. Never heat the pot when it is empty.
4. Do not touch the pot with bare hands while it is hot, and use pot holders or mitts carefully as the pot can be slippery.
5. Always utilize a trivet or pot holder when placing the clay pot on tables or surfaces to prevent damage.
6. Avoid cooling a hot clay pot suddenly, as this could lead to cracking.
7. Do not place the pot on the fire if the bottom is wet.
8. Refrain from leaving the pot immersed in water for extended periods of time.
9. After use, wash the pot thoroughly with water and ensure it is completely dry before storing.
10. Expect moisture to seep out from the bottom of the pot, which is normal.
11. Over time, tiny cracks (known as "kannyuu" in Japanese) may appear, which adds character to the pot. In such cases, cook porridge or boil in water mixed with about two cups of flour.
