This was so peaceful
Thank you thank you thank. I watched many videos to learn how to do THIS my self. But couldn't really understand them. But hey I watched yours once #1 time and you taught me how to do the right way.
Thank you for that. My moma do these and I never learned it my self. So I was trying to learn now and could not. But you teach me very good. Thank you for that. Blessings to you.
thank you very much for sharing this!!

Thanks for this! I've been given these as gifts, but I'm afraid of breaking them if I do the seasoning incorrectly. Thank you!
Very nice videos. Good luck on your channel!
Now I just need a tasty recipe for using that rice porridge!
Probably just eat it like you would regular rice, crack, a raw egg over it, some furikake, soy sauce, and MSG.
So my first dish to season my donabe should be congee? I can live with that
What about the Chinese ceramic pot how to season it
Where do we get it?
I would have thought that the starchy water from rinsing rice would be ideal to use as the 70% water component, and then simply add more rice?
Do you need to season the inside of the lid as well??
The donabe pot that I purchased is fully glazed, including the bottom. Does it still need to be seasoned? Is it still able to go in the oven?
Yes, still needs to be seasoned. Look online or read instructions that come with the pot.
After seasoning the pot do we need to wash it it soapy water after every cooking?
Yup. I still use dish soap to clean it after each use, but just make sure not to soak it in soapy water for too long.
I don't understand. Isn't it glazed? Do you need to season glazed clay pot?
I would think no need to season because of the glazing that sealed in the pores. Then again, I am not an expert on clay pot. Hopefully someone knowledgeable can answer your question.
Why rice is used to season the pot? How about I pour some cooking oil, swirl the oil round the pot & add things like onions gingers to season?
Rice gives off starch when cooking and that starch will embed itself into all the microscopic holes in your donabe, sealing it during the one hour simmer. While oil also goes into the holes, it will not seal. Instead it will simply burn off when cooking, exposing the holes.
@@opwave79 thank you for sharing such an important advice!
What brand is this pot, may I ask
Hi there, I got this pot from a small shop. It is a “banko ware” donabe from a company called “森羅”. I think it is a local Japanese manufacturer since I have never heard of it before :)
