Nice tips & tricks maintain clay pot big lk fr

[@francesdarwin1184]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="121">2:01</a> FYI for people living in cooler climates, the coconut oil may be solid. Don’t rub it directly on the pot, it may leave white reside (at least it did in my experience). Instead, warm the oil between your hands, then apply.

[@karenleigh3915]

I bought my first set of claypots for cooking. One of them has a tiny hole, its nit big water seaps very slowly. How to fix it? I saw few videos of sealing it with date and baking in the oven but those were for mexican & mediteranian pots. Can these pots be placed in the oven??

[@TheQueen-fb3pu]

You filled pots with rice water. But in the case of DOSA PAN ... how is possible? Any other remedy plz ?

[@songsarbey6287]

Is there another method of seasoning?. i will used the pod only for boiling

[@btsarmyforever3816]

If u r just going to boil water, soak the clay pots for 24 hours in water. Scrub and wash. Dry. Then rub oil and warm it in the sun till the oil dries off. Scrub and Wash. That's enough.

[@salmabegumsalma-mb6ww]

i just bought clay pots and i think using it form time to time it will seasond naturaly,,

[@MySunshinesz]

Yes but for the first time you need to season it.

[@savant6842]

Do we have to repeat this whole procedure? And if yes then when? If I am using the pot everyday for cooking

[@MySunshinesz]

No you do not have to repeat the procedure only for first time use.. Everyday after cooking just wash it with salt and scrub.. Than wipe with cloth and store..

Why rice water pot

[@SS-un2pq]

Hi maam,when you use this kadai for the next time wont the oil used already for frying cabbage come out from the surface of the kadai??i am facing this issue any solution for this?

[@MySunshinesz]

It happens if the kadai was not seasoned well for the first time..

[@anuragkms]

Instead of rice water do we have any alternative...like boiling with normal water?

[@MySunshinesz]

No rice water has starch it helps to remove smell of clay ..u can also use corn starch powder with water..

[@Little-Life-Talk]

Do we need to season it every time before cooking or one time season ? Please reply?

[@MySunshinesz]

No only once when you purchase.. Once you start using it wash well and dry it out with towel and store..

No starch water is important

Is it normal for the clay pot to smell after it's been soaking?

[@MySunshinesz]

Did you complete the full seasoning process after Soaking in water??

[@lizsave7204]

@@MySunshinesz No.. I am doing that now but was wondering if that was normal?

[@MySunshinesz]

Yes it will smell like mud after Soaking .. After the oiling and sun drying procedure it will disappear and also before u start cooking for the first time in the pot fry one onion and discard for th first time.. Than start cooking in th pot..

Whats the purpose of curing what does it do? Does it add or remove something, if we knw the purpose of curing we can perform easier better methods

[@MySunshinesz]

If you season the pot it strengthens the pot and avoids cracking of pot also it will absorb less oil..

[@raya566]

Thanks but why shouldn't use the soap?

It gets absorbed in the clay and while cooking it smells bad too..

[@user-nt4oj3jn1w]

Oh no... I used soap to wash my clay pot. 😢 Can I season it again and still use it?

[@MySunshinesz]

No problem.. You can just rinse it again under running water.. Than fry one onion in it and discard the onions.. And than once you feel soap smell is gone you can start using the pot normally..

[@holistichealeranddestresscoach]

Use sink to wash the pots & then dry them on the rack

[@sbe8621]

too much work to maintain clay pots, who on earth has this much time to go through this process

[@nivedithau1755]

One time seasoning also it’s about your health
