BEFORE USING THE CLAY POT FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your donabe for the first time, it is essential to season it - a process known as medome.

Don’t let this put you off. It’s super simple to do and we’ll explain exactly how to do it. Think of it as welcoming the donabe into your home. After all, your nagatani-en pot will serve you and your family for years to come, so enjoy the process of preparing it for a long and happy life.

  1. Ensure the bottom of the clay pot is dry before starting
  2. Fill the pot ¾ full with water - measure the volume of the water.
  3. Add 20% of the water volume in cooked short grain rice and stir well.
  4. Cover with the lid and heat on low to medium heat till starting to simmer.
  5. Remove the lid, turn heat down to low, stir and continue to cook till the rice mixture resembles a paste. Stir from time to time to make sure the bottom does not burn. Do not let the mixture boil.
  6. When the rice has reached the paste stage, you can turn off the heat and leave the mixture to cool
    completely which should take about an hour.
  7. Empty the rice paste and gently rinse your pot and let it air dry.
  8. Your clay pot is now ready to use!
