Before using, please take a moment to season the pot to enhance its durability and cooking performance:

1. Rinse the Pot: Start by rinsing your Donabe with water and letting it air dry completely.
2. Prepare the Rice Water: Mix 1 cup of uncooked short-grain rice with 4 cups of water in a separate bowl. Stir until the water turns milky white, then strain the water into your Donabe, discarding the rice.
3. Cook the Rice Water: Place the Donabe on the stove over low heat and gradually bring it to a simmer. Allow it to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes. This process helps seal the porous clay.
4. Cool and Rinse: Turn off the heat and let the Donabe cool down naturally. Once cooled, discard the rice water and rinse the pot with warm water (do not use soap).
5. Dry Thoroughly: Allow the Donabe to air dry completely before storing.

Your Donabe is now seasoned and ready for use! Enjoy cooking hearty stews, soups, and rice dishes with this beautifully designed pot, perfect for showcasing your culinary skills and enriching your dining experience.
