@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen do we need to season the clay pot with oil even if we are going to use that pot only for cooking non oily foods like boiling dal or boiling rice? Will it not leave the smell of oil while cooking rice?
Hello mam, i have followed all your instructions two years back to season the pot. And still today i am using the pot...with no complaints.
Thank you very much.

Your tutorial is the best one I have seen/heard in a long time. I was literally mesmerised by the slick editing, the script and narration. It was to the point yet detailed enough that we don't have any questions after watching the entire video. Your voice and words are very soothing and wise, and it reminds me of my favourite teachers back in school.

Thank you for the very well narrated and informative video. I just bought a few clay pots and looked through a few videos about seasoning them and I found yours to be more descriptive than the others, not to mention the very well put, step by step process of seasoning it. I believe it couldn't have been any more complete and especially loved that you included when to discard the pot. I wouldn't have fugured that out unless it actually had a hole in it. Well I cant wait to get my pots washed, dried and ready to go. They're just about to get out of the third day of immersion in cooked rice water . Thank you Nisha 🙏

Well done. Thank you for such a nice presentation. I learned a lot. I just bought a new clay pot. It is a black colored clay pot, but it had a funky smell on it, like petroleum. Is it the same for red brown pots?
Ya it's same just follow the same seasoning process.
Very well explained.....Thank you....Could you please let me know incase I want to keep a small clay pot only for curd do I still need to season it with oil?
Hi Rakhi, thanks for your feedback. Yes dear my recommendation is yes it's best to season and use it.
Wow so interesting, i never knew this. I want to buy a clay pot now I know how to extend its life and look after it properly.
A question....does this steps need to be done if the pot has internal glazing!?
Thanks...lots of love Samantha from Italy 🇮🇹⭐💟
My pleasure glad you liked it. Yes for glazed clay pots I follow the same steps. Hope this helps. Stay connected 😊
Nice video mam🙏👍👍
Thanks dear❤️
Very nice information 👌👌
I also used mud pots i seasoned it in very proper way but that vessel realese some oil before cooking from inner or outer part and so that's why food gets bad smell .so what can I do
If you find oil leaking at the back side of the pot or while cooking means pot is not fit for cooking. Normally this happens if clay pot is broken from inside or over used.
Thank you so much for ur efforts to teach us how to use this kind of pots . .....Can we use regular corn starch instead of the rice starch .?
Thanks for your lovely feedback. Yes you can use
Excellent tutorial! One question please: If I make use of a clay pot for storing water and for keeping the water cold, should the water pot also be seasoned with rice water and oil?
Yes with rice water but no need to oil, will surely make a video on how to use waterpot, jar and drinking glass.
Very nice tutorial. Question if I cooked something and want to store in fridgerator would that be alright with clay pot? Thank you
Hi Linda, glad to hear your feedback. Yes you may store it in refrigerator, only ensure the food should have come to room temperature that's cool down. Hope this helps. Stay connected 😊
Can you make videos on how to use wooden spoons? How to clean them? I feel the soap goes into them too.
Sure will make video 😊
Can we also reuse the clay pots we get with biryani for cooking? Pls guide
The first thing to cook in the clay pot is starchy rice - that helps too.
My pots break 3 time before watching your video
Thank you so much ma'am
Glad you found it useful, stay connected.
Very well explained thank you you but is it necessary for the rice water to be done so many time and most videos Telugu just soak in plain water please give us how to cook in microwave in mud pot thank you
Hi Lorina, starchy water removes the clay smell and also makes the pot strong. I tried soaking both ways, however plain water soaking still gives clay smell while cooking. Hope this helps. Stay connected 😊
From where to buy best clay pots ?
Are there any options for onion , coconut?. What else can we fry in the oil if we just want to use the pot for curd?
Will soon make a separate video on how to store yogurt and water in clay pots.
Hello......I have seen unglazed pots set directly on coals and hot wood fires. Is seasoning the same for this method? 🤗
Yes thats another traditional way of seasoning, normally it's done in traditional oven or open fire area.
Thanks for throughly explaining the process. However I’m not sure how many times we need to immerse the pot in cooked rice water and for how many days in total? Cuz you said every three days the rice water needs to be changed. So I’m not sure if you keep in rice water for three days and repeat the process two times or only once. Thank you
Hi, you need to soak for 3 days only and it's best to change starchy water each day. Hope this helps. Stay connected
Hi mam your explanation was fantastic I have a query everytime after use we have to wash the pot with rice flour or we can use mild liquid detergent
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Yes Sapna you need to wash it with rice flour or gram flour with salt, never use any detergent as it will get abosorbed and will react with food next time you cook. Hope this helps. Stay connected
Thank you mam
Unknowingly I washed it with vin liquid, is it ok for use??
Hi Divya, never use soap to clean clay pot as it gets absorbed & will react with food. If unknowingly you used soap, then the solution is after rinsing pot, fill it with water and boil it for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat it 2 to 3 times then discard water and then you may use it. Hope this helps, stay connected 😊
Can you also mention which coconut oil you used in it? Where can we find such organic coconut oil.? So hard to find pure one now-a-days :(
Hi, I have used wood pressed coconut oil which we bought from my native place while I was on vacation. Stay connected 😊
I really enjoyed being taught how to be good to clay cook pots, thank you.
About fungals, 3% Hydrogen Peroxide is a great kitchen anti-fungal, and I spray the clay pot also.
About muddy taste, yes, when I had La Chamba black clay pots the stews tasted muddy, and at that time I was ignorant about need to season.
Glad you found this video useful and thank you for sharing your feedback. Stay connected😊
I want to boil milk in my pot , what is the procedure to season … do not want to use rice water as , then when fasting ,milk cannot be used , also can I apply pure ghee to season for my milk pot, instead of oil ?
Also how to clean it , so the milk stays fresh , I intend to boil fresh milk everyday.Thanks
Sud we coat oil on both sides of clay kadai ?
Hi Himabindu, as we gonna use the interior part for cooking applying all over inside is sufficient. But there is no issue applying on both sides. Hope this helps. Stay safe and take care.
Just started using clay pots since the days of my grandma
👍👍😊
Thanks a lot for the video and explanation. I am inspired to buy a pot to try out cooking in it. Can we buy pots from our local Potter or should we buy something specifically made for cooking. I find all sorts of expensive stuff online. Please let me know. TIA
Hi dear, you may ask the Potter for pots that's made for cooking. Another tip is when you knock the back side of the pot you should hear metalic sound. Hope this helps. Stay connected 😍
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen thanks.... For your response
Thankyu so much ma'am V.nice information,Can you please let me know ma'am how to remove smell in my water jug ,how to remove the strange smell from it how many times I fill it with water and keep it but the smell is not gone please tell me how I can usable it
Will soon upload a separate video on that. Stay connected.
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen thankyu so much for replied ma'am🥰 i will wait for this video ma'am
for washing you use 1 tablespoon of gram flour, or ground flour?
Gram flour / Rice Flour + Salt
Thanks for sharing the info. How often should the pot need Tobe seasoned?
Hi Sara, seasoning I do only one time. However deep cleaning I do twice month.
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen how do you do deep cleaning?
There are 2 ways to deep clean by applying baking soda and using lemon. Soon will post a detailed about that. Stay connected ❤️
Hi ma'am...we need strain the cooked rice water, but we should not add cooked rice in it, right?
ya
Can we use pure and strong mustard oil?
Yes you can
Does it have to be rice water? Can i use maize flour water?
Yes you can use I guess however I never tried using that.
Even for pots exclusively used for boiling milk do we need to apply oil?
Hi Uday, yes you may apply oil and leave it for drying. Pot will absorb all oil. Then you may start cooking.
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen Thank you madam
My pleasure stay connected 😊
Seasoning kar ke kafi din huye ab use kar sakte pls reply
yes you can, clean and wash before using
I could not follow what you said on cleaning the pot. can you please write down what powder to mix to clean the used pot? Many thanks.
Either use rice flour or gram flour along with salt.
When something gets burned at the bottom ?? Like the curry masala ??
You may use rice flour, gram flour or baking soda along with salt. Make a paste scrub and wash it.
May I ask what's the benefit of soaking it with rice water from just soaking it with tap water? I've seen some video suggesting just tap water.
Hi Mariam, starchy water removes the clay smell and also makes the pot strong. I tried soaking both ways, however plain water soaking still gives clay smell while cooking. Hope this helps. Stay connected 😊
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen thank you so much.
My pleasure 😊
I recently bought a claypot but I did not do any of the things you did in this video..
I just soaked it in water for 24 hours..
I already cooked in it once..
Should I re-season it by following your steps?
Yes you can do
Helo sister how to seasoning clay dosa pan?
Will upload soon
Was it coconut oil you used to coat the pot? The oil that was absorbed by the clay, not the cooking oil.
I used coconut cooking oil. You may use any cooking oil.
I've seen people rub oil outside as well. Is it only on the inside?
You may rub all over absolutely no issue
Why do you use starch water? What does it do? I soaked mine in plain water for 3 days and I just oiled it with olive oil. I guess it's too late for me to redo the starch water now isn't it?
Hi Catherine, starchy water removes the clay smell and also makes the pot strong. I tried soaking both ways, however plain water soaking still gives clay smell while cooking. Hope this helps. Stay connected 😊
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen thank you 🙏 one more question, I already oiled it twice but I haven't cooked in it yet would it work if I still do the starchy water now?
Yes you may do it now.
Hello mam,
I bought a clay pot and followed the procedure of seasoning with cooking oil but an odour of oil is coming from the handi now. How do get rid of odour from it?
Hi, hope you soaked it in starchy water before applying oil. To get rid of any odour just fill pot with enough water and put some lemon slices in there and boil it for couple of minutes on medium low flame. Discard water all smell will be gone. Hope this helps.
Where can I buy quality clay pot cookware??
Hi Venu, in Asian market you can find clay pots, as I live in UAE so bought from Lulu Hyper market.
I dnt know where to get in UK
Can I heat the pot in low flame until it becomes dry everytime?
Hi Madasu, I would recommend natural drying either in sunlight or open atmosphere. However if you are in hurry you may heat up on low flame, but make sure you don't overheat it as it may crack. Hope this helps stay connected 😊
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen Thank you 😀
@@madasusumasree2733 my pleasure 😊
What type of oil should be used for seasoning?
any cooking oil
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen Sesame Oil?
Yes you can use
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen Thank you
I have applied oil and then..will pour the rice water...
Is it ok...??
It's ok. Just follow the remaining steps as shown in the video.
Ok
Hello Ma'am, I have not used my pot for a long time, can we clean it and start using it. Do we have to use baking soda?, Or we can use rice powder and salt instead
If it was seasoned earlier just clean and wash with rice powder and salt and start cooking. If it wasn't season last time then you need to season it and then start using. Hope this helps. Stay connected
My only problem is that I don't cook rice everyday. .. so seasoning it will be difficult for me!! Any alternative
Once seasoned is sufficient just ensure to dry it completely and store in dry place, anytime you wanna use just rinse and use it.
I wased it with liquid detergent.... now what to do
If you washed with liquid detergent, fill pot with water and boil it for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat it 2 to 3 times then discard water and then you may use it. Hope this helps, stay connected.
From where can we get good mud pots
Hi, I got mine from Lulu market in Sharjah, UAE
Thank you for your reply
Why starchy water in the beginning? Oil and other things makes sense. However, I couldn’t understand why clay pots need to soak in starchy water?
Starchy water removes the clay smell and also makes the pot strong. Soaking in plain water gives clay smell while cooking. Hope this helps.
What we can use in place of rice starchy water ?
Hi Sushma, I have always used starchy water only as it works best. If I try any other mean will inform you.
I got two pots and I applied oil and heated then I prepared beef , unfortunately after one time usage both of them broked.. I felt so sad, after three years of plan only I got these two pots. I will have to buy more but I will the procedures of seasoning correctly.
Hi Aruva, thank you for sharing your experience. Don't worry, hopefully you won't face such issue anymore. Stay connected 😊
Rice water is it very important? Can i skip this
Rice starchy water actually removes the muddy smell from clay pot.
I used dishwasher on my clay pot when I bought it ..what to do now
Hi Laxmi, if unknowingly you used dish wash liquid, rinse it with plain water, fill it with water and boil it for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat it 2 to 3 times then discard water and then you may use it. Hope this helps, stay connected 😊
@@Nisha.Thaju.Kitchen I used unknowingly dishwasher, and currenlty my pot is soaking in water ...than I came to your video .. Now as you said I have to keep it in starch water I will do that..just wanted to know I should boil water in that first than put it into rice water or vice versa..or I need to completely discard my clay pot now
I thought you used dish wash liquid on a seasoned pot. It's clear now that your pot is not seasoned. So follow the seasoning steps that's soaking in starchy water then continue to use it. Hope this helps.
I love to use clay pots,but it smells
Once they are well seasoned it won't smell. You will enjoy the taste and flavor of food.
Thanks
Welcome 😊

Hi Sujatha, I got mine from Lulu market at Sharjah, UAE
