Is it okay to soak a ceramic bowl in cold water right away for dishwashing after eating hot food?

Often, right after finishing a meal, people immediately fill the bowl with water to soak it before food residues dry. In such cases, one wonders about the care guidelines regarding whether it is fine to put a bowl that still retains heat straight into cold water.

hmmm editorial answer

Because a sudden temperature change can cause hairline cracks on the surface, you should soak the bowl in water only after its heat has cooled down sufficiently.

Why do the line thickness and degree of smudging on the dragon pattern of the hand-drawn rice bowl vary from bowl to bowl?

Some customers wonder if it is defective because the pattern's density or thickness differs between the detail photos and the actual product. An explanation is needed so they can understand the background of the differences seen in handmade ceramics and use it with peace of mind.

hmmm editorial answer

Due to the nature of the handmade process, where a person directly touches a brush by hand rather than printing in bulk by machine, the line thickness and density vary from bowl to bowl.

Why does the rim take on a yellowish tint after undergoing the 'high-temperature firing' mentioned in the description?

After seeing the explanation in the white porcelain tableware guide that the rim may take on a yellowish tint due to high-temperature firing, the user is curious about the meaning of the term and the reason behind the color change.

hmmm editorial answer

When ceramics are baked at high temperatures in a kiln, the glaze and clay react to the heat, naturally creating a subtle yellowish tint along the rim of the dish.

They are all white porcelain tableware, but does the color tone differ slightly across each series?

When browsing the white porcelain lineup, each product seems to have a slightly different tone of white, which may make you wonder about the difference.

hmmm editorial answer

HORIE TOUKI crafts the natural color of white porcelain by dividing it into a bluish tone, a warm ivory, and a flower tone with a hint of light pink according to the concept of each series.

Can I wash the ceramic wind chime with water if dust accumulates on it?

The user is wondering if it is okay to wash it cleanly with water when dust has settled on the ceramic wind chime after hanging it by the window for a long time.

hmmm editorial answer

Unlike the ceramic body, the tracing paper tag hanging below must not come into contact with water, so it is better to lightly dust and wipe it with a dry cloth rather than washing it with water.

Why is the length of one side kept the same even though the octagonal plates are different sizes?

When reading the octagonal plate guide, there is an explanation that the length of one side is standardized across different sizes. This question aims to explore what convenience this standard provides in an actual kitchen.

hmmm editorial answer

It is a design that aligns the edges so that plates of different sizes can be stacked in layers stably without wobbling.

Is it okay if seasoning gets on the unglazed surface of white porcelain tableware?

This is because when using white porcelain food boxes or plates at the dining table, there is a concern that dark seasonings might come into contact with unglazed areas, such as the bottom foot or rims, and leave stains.

hmmm editorial answer

Ceramic surfaces without glaze can absorb color when exposed to seasonings, so care must be taken to prevent dark food from touching them.

Can I put food in it and cook it directly in the microwave or oven?

The question arises to find out the scope of use, specifically whether the porcelain food containers or bowls can be used for heat cooking as well as storage containers.

hmmm editorial answer

Warming food in a microwave or washing it in a dishwasher is fine, but cooking directly by placing it in an oven or on heating appliances should be avoided.

Is it okay that gaps appear and a clattering sound occurs when stacking the tiers of the food container?

When stacking the tiers of the container for storage or carrying them to the table, the bowls do not interlock tightly and wobble, making one wonder if the product is defective.

hmmm editorial answer

Due to the structure of stacking ceramics, fine gaps can form between the vessels and make noise when moved; this is not a product defect.
