1. Donabe is an earthenware and has a liquid absorbability. In order to avoid cracks, boil flour or rice with water for a few minutes, cool it down, and dry naturally so that the tiny holes on the surface will be covered.
2. When you wash your Donabe, a detergent is not very recommended since the Donabe may absorb it and it may affect the food flavor. Rinsing by warm water is the best way.

*Please note that the Donabe pots are not for deep frying, and not for heating when empty.
