How to Season A Donabe?

To extend the life of your Donabe we recommend seasoning it with the 'medome' process before use. 

Use Rice Water as a seasoning (Before First Use)
  1. Rice should be rinsed as usual. Add rice (I use two rice cooker cups here) to a big bowl and gently knead the rice between your fingers under running water. The rice water should not be discarded during this seasoning process.
  2. Put enough rice water to fill the pot to the 80 percent mark. Rice water is the liquid left over after the rice has been rinsed.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Let the water naturally cool down to room temperature.
  5. The water should be discarded as soon as you can feel it with your bare fingers, and the temperature is nearing room temperature.
  6. After drying it with a clean cloth, let it air dry entirely for at least one night before using or storing it again.

3.1 Handcrafted Product Disclaimer Agreement
Mujo handcrafts a selection of garments, accessories and homewares.
By purchasing any items and products through Mujo’s online store you agree with the Handcrafted Product Disclaimer below (article 3.2).

3.2 Handcrafted Product Disclaimer

Quality is our highest priority. Please keep in mind that most of our products are handmade, using natural materials, and therefore it is quite difficult to make identical items. Due to this process, there may be a slight variation from one item to the next. Such variations are inherent in the manufacturing of handmade products. Even though every effort is made to create only the best products, there may be natural blemishes that should not be misconstrued as flaws. These are what make each handmade piece unique and special. The pictures may not be identical to the product you receive.

4. Prices and Purchase:

All item prices are listed in AUD and can be altered by Mujo at any given time. 

4.1 As some items are handcrafted to order, delivery times are estimated for the period after a product has finished the weaving, dyeing, construction and packaging processes. Please refer to each individual product description for an accurate waiting time period for construction of made to order purchased items.
During busy periods if the waiting time for construction of any item will exceed the estimated time period, customers will be notified via email of a new estimated waiting time for construction.

4.2 Purchase Acceptance
This website is operated by Mujo. Mujo reserves the right to amend the Shipping and Policies at any time and without notice to you.
Any order placed by the customer is an agreement of the customer contract. To purchase a particular item or items the following terms must be agreed upon and accepted before making an order.
Mujo reserves the right to accept or reject your order for any reason, including and without limitation, the unavailability of any product, an error in the price or the product description posted on this website, or an error in your order. Until Mujo receives payment in full for a product of any description, Mujo remains the lawful owner of the product. Your customer contract of agreement with these terms and conditions with Mujo comes into effect once you have made payment.
