Know before you buy
Before your first use, you must season the pot by boiling a starch-rich liquid, such as rice water or a mixture of water and flour, inside it. This process seals the microscopic pores of the earthenware, preventing leaks and improving the pot's durability over time.
No, this pot is designed for traditional gas stovetops. It is not compatible with induction heating elements.
Because earthenware is porous, it can absorb the scent and chemical residue of soaps and detergents. Rinsing with warm water is sufficient to keep the pot clean while ensuring your future meals remain untainted by cleaning agents.
No, the crackle pattern is a signature aesthetic feature of the Kannyu glazing technique. These fine lines are intentional and add character to the pot, though they may darken slightly over time as they absorb the oils and colors from the food you cook.
This pot is strictly for slow-cooking methods like simmering stews, soups, and porridge. It should never be used for deep frying or heated while empty, as extreme temperature fluctuations can cause the material to crack.
