A kitchen essential, the Kamoshika Earthenware Pot is a traditional Japanese Donabe . This earthenware pot is durable and perfect for serving a hot dish. Similar to cast iron heat properties, the material has excellent heat resistance and will stay warm long after its done cooking.

Similar to a cast iron, before using you must “stop” the natural high water absorption of the pot. In order to do so; first wash the pot with water and dry it. After 30 minutes, add water and a starch such as rice or flour. This will stop the high absorption of the pot before use. Put it on the fire or stove top for 1 hour on low heat without the lid. After it is finished cooling, wash it with water and dry again. Now you’re all set to make a delicious meal!
