Why should the charcoal tray not be washed with water after using the mini water grill?

After grilling meat outdoors, it is easy to come across warning notices while trying to wash all grill parts with water at once like other tableware. One wonders why washing with water is prohibited exclusively for the charcoal tray among the set parts, and what the correct cleanup method is.

hmmm editorial answer

The mini water grill set is divided into four parts, but the charcoal tray that directly holds the fire must not be washed with water, but rather dusted off and stored dry.

Why is the bottom rim of the rice bowl unglazed?

When holding the bottom of the bowl, you may wonder if the finish is incomplete because the rough texture of the clay touches your fingertips, unlike the smooth upper surface.

The bottom surface of the rice bowl is finished without glaze, so the rough texture inherent to clay can be felt, and this varies slightly from product to product.
