    How to deal with charred donabe?
    Here's what you can do:
    If there's some char inside:
    Fill it with lukewarm water and let it sit for a while.
    Use a wooden spatula to remove the char, then wash it. Repeat this 2-3 times for a clean result.
    While preventing charring is tricky, it's recommended to clean off any char each time you wash it. If left, it becomes harder to remove. Soaking it in lukewarm water for a bit usually helps to get rid of most char.
    For more stubborn charring:
    Fill it about 70% with water and bring it to a boil, then let it sit.
    If that doesn't work, try boiling water with a bit of baking soda. Let it sit again and then wash.
    Enjoy Donabe!!

      Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that my video was helpful. I'm also pleasantly surprised to see the interest from people outside of Japan in Japanese donabe. It's truly wonderful to see how food can bridge cultural gaps and bring people together. Happy cooking with your donabe!🙏🏻🥰

    i finally bought my small donabe on my last trip to Japan in 2023, and oh my! I don't ever want to cook rice any other way. And yes, good quality Japanese rice steamed well tastes so delicious just by itself!

      Hello! You bought a donabe in Japan! And you cook Japanese rice with it👏 Even among Japanese people, not many use a donabe 😂 Amazing! Thank you for your comment. Have a great weekend!

      Thank you for your kind comments. This video was really beautifully made. The music choice interesting , the topic educational and informative and video shot with such a professional eye😊. I will check out your other videos. By the way, cooking rice in my donabe brings me so much pleasure because number one, it is such a beautiful pot, number two, the rice tastes so good and number three , it takes so much less time than my old electric rice cooker with the questionable coating on the aluminum interior pot😅. Please have a very nice weekend yourself.❤

    My small Donabe doesn't have a double lid. will the cooking process be the same?
    Arigato!

    • @cookingJapan
      @cookingJapan  2 роки тому +2

      Hello, thanks for your comment! Basically the same. However, the time to cook and steam the rice depends on a Donabe. For the Donabe without a double lid, if it boils, it ’s about 15 minutes low heat may be better. If the water runs out, turn off the heat and let it steam for about 15 minutes. As you get through several times you get a knack of it. You will be able to know the individuality of your Donabe. Have fun!

    Lovely video! I just got a donabe few days ago. Was wondering how to you maintain the bottom area to be clean? I’ve seasoned it, but after the second use, some parts of it already turned slightly charred. Is this normal?

    • @cookingJapan
      @cookingJapan  4 місяці тому

      Hello! Thank you for watching the donabe video.
      Fortunately, I haven't had issues with my donabe getting charred, but it's quite common for the bottom to develop some charring.
      Here's what you can do:
      If there's some char inside:
      Fill it with lukewarm water and let it sit for a while.
      Use a wooden spatula to remove the char, then wash it. Repeat this 2-3 times for a clean result.
      While preventing charring is tricky, it's recommended to clean off any char each time you wash it. If left, it becomes harder to remove. Soaking it in lukewarm water for a bit usually helps to get rid of most char.
      For more stubborn charring:
      Fill it about 70% with water and bring it to a boil, then let it sit.
      If that doesn't work, try boiling water with a bit of baking soda. Let it sit again and then wash.
      Enjoy Donabe!!

    thank you for the explanation! may i ask why we shouldn’t use soap? is it only for the first time we shouldn’t use soap?

    • @cookingJapan
      @cookingJapan  2 роки тому +3

      Hello. Thank you for watching! I think it's best not to use soap. Because Donabe absorbs water very much and expands and contracts when put on fire ( It's natural to crack! ). I do not use Donabe when soaking rice in water. If you do that, water will leak from the Donabe. Because it is easy for water to pass through, it is said that if you use detergent, it will absorb the detergent. I think it's better not to use soap not only at the beginning but all the time 😉

    Nunca he cocinado con flores de cerezo. La verdad es que me apetece, pero no acabo de verlo claro. Como que me da cosa, no sé. Vosotros qué opináis? Habéis cocinado ya con flores???

      Thank you for bringing up this question about harmful substances in clay pots. To be honest, I have never thought about it before, and I don't have the knowledge to answer it. I'm sorry. But I appreciate your concern and interest in the topic. Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. Have a great day!
