Glad it helped! You're so welcomed.

wendy lilja Great! Glad I can help. Enjoy your new donate pot and many yummy dishes.

That's wonderful. I am glad you learned something from this video. I am actually Taiwanese American and have lived in US for 42 years already. Borned in Taiwan and came to US when I was 13.

You are most welcomed! We are glad that our video is useful to you. Thanks for watching.

That would be nice holiday gifts.

ThankU

Are you able to see other videos in this channel? Thanks for watching.

@@MrsLinsKitchen no, that’s why I mentioned it.

@@MrsLinsKitchen though it seems go be fixed and working now.

Thank you for watching! Yes, that's a good point. Using a wooden instead of metal spoon will prevent the nabe pot from getting scratched. Good suggestion!

You're most welcome. Thank you for watching.

Glad that our instruction comes in handy. Enjoy your new donabe pot!

Thank you!

Sure, that should work.

Most welcome 😊

Thank you for watching. We are glad that our seasoning instruction helped. This particular donabe pot is sold in our web store. Please see the following url link. www.mrslinskitchen.com/6117.html If you have anymore question, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Dear Monica Bandt, thank you for your question. Our donabe pots do not come with double lids but we have seen that the inner flat lid is used for pressure cooking. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Thank you.

MrsLinsKitchen Thank you for your reply. I bought a Donabe pot from Nitori, in Okinawa. This pot has two inner flat-plate-like lids with many holes. One is made of metal and the other is made of clay. It is not a rice cooker. I bought a Donabe rice cooker and it looks different. It has two actual lids. I bought other Donabe pots recently, and those do not have those flat-plate-like-lids. Because I didn't know what to do with those flat-plate-like-lids, I just kept them in the box. ありがとうございました

Can you send us an image of this pot your purchased?

@@MonicalovesTAEMIN i think those flat inner lids are for using it on Induction range. those heat up inside the donabe from IH, instead of by flame. If you are cooking on gas range, then don't need the lids.

Yes, you can but you need to have water in the pot while using it.

Mood Thank you for watching. Make sure you have liquid in the pot the entire time. Bottom gets burned when not enough liquid is in the pot. When the bottom gets burned, make sure you soak the pot in liquid before removing the burnt food. It depends the severity of the burnt mark, some maybe more permanent than the other.

I am not sure what kind of pot you have receive. Do you mind sending me the photo of your pot so I can help you better?

It's very similar to this but without the bottom plate: www.sears.com/koyo-korean-premium-ceramic-cooking-hot-pot-dolsot/p-A055367823 Sorry, for some reason I was unable to attach the picture I took on this response.

The inside of your Korean pot has been coated with the glaze just like the exterior. There should be instruction included with your Korean pot. Isn't it? Since your pot is also porous like the Japanese donabe in my demonstration, I think you can follow the same instruction to season it.

@@MrsLinsKitchen It did not come with instructions. So I will follow your instructions. Thank you very much for your help, Mrs. Lin!

@@kimtruong5900 My pleasures!! Thanks for watching my video.

Thank you for watching my video. When you choose donabe, you want to find the right size for your purpose. If you are cooking for a family of more than 2 then find one that's larger than 9 inches in diameter. If it's just for yourself, 7 or 8 inches are big enough. Pattern and design of the donabe are all personal choice. Japanese made donabe is definitely the way to go. I do not recommend Chinese made donabe because they tend to be poorer quality. Hope that helps.

@@MrsLinsKitchen Thank you

SugarAffairs While we have not personally tried using a donabe pot in the oven, we know that some people do indeed use donabe pots in their oven however only if it is made in Japan and is of high quality. We would not recommend using a low quality or made in China donabe pot in the oven as it may not be able to withstand the temperatures. You will also want to make sure to be very careful with heating the donabe pot and ensuring that you do not heat it up unless there is liquid inside the pot. We would recommend testing with lower temperatures in your oven first however you will definitely need to make sure that that it is indeed a high quality donabe pot.

Wow! Are they okay?

@@MrsLinsKitchen Yep, they're fine. Never had an issue. Thankfully.

Choux You can redo it and only once.

Sorry I never use donabe pot for making yogurt so not sure how long it will retain heat. If you don't continue heating the donabe, the heat will dispate with an hour. Please try it to find out. Make sure there's liquid in it. Thanks for watching this video.

Thank you so much for the response!💗

Kimus Prime Hmmmm... that’s a good question. I have never tried it before so I don’t have an answer for that. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out. Thank you.

Hi, I’ve done that and it worked fine for me. My pot’s capacity is 3 liters, I used 1.5 cups of rice powder and once it came to boil, I added 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. (In India we temper clay pots with rice starch + coconut oil kept overnight in the pot, washed after 10-12 hours). I use it mostly for stewing veggies and when I clean, I use baking soda or lemon (scrubbing with the lemon peel) or coffee grounds. I am a new user but so far, it’s clean and no issues. I just make sure that I repeat the rice process every 4-5 months (crazy new user), never use steel wool or super high heat. Also wooden spatula. If you have a hyperactive husband, keep him away. Mine broke my first pot I got in Vietnam. My second pot was bought in Singapore. Good luck.

A DI Good information to know. Will try it when I get my new donabe next time. Thanks for responding.

Try this recipe. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLd0nL2ElrzNpKM.html It shows you how to not only cooked the rice but other toppings in this dish as well.

Perhaps lightly use the Castile soap from Dr Bronners.

Yes you can! But make sure there's liquid in the donabe.

patricia greer Hi Patricia, The reason for seasoning the donabe is to coat the crevices and holes of the clay surface of donabe and the starches from rice will do just that. Long grain or short grain rice will do that. Hope this helps.

@@MrsLinsKitchen thank you so much.

I prefer the natural earthen color.

@@MrsLinsKitchen Thank you for your response!

+Vaijayanti Mala The Maple Leaf Donabe Pot in the video does not have an inner lid inside. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Thank you.

nope, the one has inner lid only rice donabe pot

yes, a glass plate stove - I tried it but with low heat and it didn't crack.

+Vanessa Vanier Thanks Vanessa for answering the question. Yes, gas stove top would be the number one choice for donabe cooking. However, electric coil or glass plate stove can do the job as well but not the best result.

@@MrsLinsKitchen what about using a metal diffusion plate on a glass electric stove? Isn't there the worry about carbon monoxide using a butane gas stove indoors? I just got a "iga-mono" kamadosan clay rice cooker 1000ml (33oz). It has a flatter inner lid with 2 holes and the top outer lid is domed with one hole that I read should not be in line with the inner lids 2 holes. The only unglazed part of it is the bottom of the base.

@@jdhiv4 I don't have any experience with metal diffusion plate so I cannot tell you what the outcome would be.

Elsie Gonzalez Please soak your donabe with water and let it softened the burnt rice. When the rice is softened, simply brush it off.

I am sorry that I would not recommend using it because of the crack may crack open once it's heat up and it would not be safe if you are next to it.

@@MrsLinsKitchen Thank you for your reply.

atlantisitecrystal Be careful when using metal spoon. Try not to scratch the surface.

MrsLinsKitchen 👌🏻. Thank you very much. Oh and I’m actually a little confused. There are different types of Donabe. There are, Iga-Yaki Donabe , banko-Yaki Donabe , ceramic Donabe .. I dunno what is mine hahhahaa... I bought one 3 years ago because it’s so pretty but I didn’t use it and I threw away the instruction booklet.::( Do I need to apply the same season method no matter what type of Donabe?

Seema Gupta Almost all the nabe pots do not have glaze on the inside. The interior is the natural ceramic color. Those colorful glazes are on the outside only.

Not recommended because curry has strong flavor and the color may stain the donabe which is quite porous.

@@MrsLinsKitchen Thank you…

The double lids are normally more expensive than the single lid. It's fancier and help keep the heat and moisture in the pot more. I think the result is pretty much the same.

@@MrsLinsKitchen /thank you !!!!

@@anastasia10017 My pleasure.

The inner part of the donabe isn't glazed so needs to be seasoned.

@@MrsLinsKitchen Hi, thank you for your reply. How do you tell if a donabe is unglazed or glazed inside?

Cometa Vargas Pretty similar but higher quality.

MrsLinsKitchen but are they all lead-free?

Gracias por el enlace. Aquí está el enlace a mi receta de donabe. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndF9bNZ3qszZlYU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nr6XpJljqdOZk40.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prh0Z8ln0627cmg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLd0nL2ElrzNpKM.html

Rice is used to seasoned traditionally.
