KavGH Earthenware Pot

Yes, it is recommended to season the pot before your first use. You can do this by grinding a small amount of dry rice or coarse salt in the bowl to remove any loose clay particles from the manufacturing process, then rinsing it thoroughly with warm water and letting it air dry completely.

While it excels at dry spices and grains, you can certainly use it for wet ingredients like garlic, ginger, or fresh herbs. Just be mindful that earthenware is porous, so it may absorb strong aromas over time, which is often considered a desirable trait for developing deep, complex flavors.

Hand wash both pieces using warm water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in the dishwasher, as the porous clay can absorb soap, and the wood may warp or crack under high heat and moisture.

The wooden grinder is designed for manual preparation of herbs, spices, and softer grains. While it is sturdy, it is not intended for heavy-duty industrial milling of extremely hard, dense seeds or legumes, which could damage the wood over time.

Because each piece is crafted by hand using traditional methods, slight variations in size, shape, and texture are expected and part of the product's charm. You should anticipate minor differences between individual units, which does not affect the overall functionality.
