Oil is seeping out onto the surface of the hinoki cutting board; can I still use it as is?

Seeing greasiness on the surface of the cutting board makes it easy to worry about contamination or deterioration. It is a moment when you are unsure whether to wash it off with detergent or go ahead and cut food on it as is.

hmmm editorial answer

It is not contamination, but a phenomenon where the hinoki's own natural oil surfaces, and because it plays a role in suppressing the proliferation of bacteria, you can safely use it as is.

Since they are from the same craft beer glass set, how do the shapes and capacities of the three glasses differ from each other?

Because three different shapes of glasses are bundled together, it is difficult to tell at a glance which glass should be used for which beer. This question is asked by those who want to check the differences in order to choose and use a glass suited to the type of beer.

hmmm editorial answer

The Toyo Sasaki craft beer set consists of the Basic type as a standard, the Tasty type that brings out savory flavor, and the Aroma type that gathers aromas, so each glass has a different capacity and matching beer type.

NODA HOROKitchenToolNH-3

When placing the enamel container over a fire or in an oven to reheat food, can the lid also be kept on?

Thinking only of enamel's characteristic of being able to be heated directly in the container, it is easy to be confused about whether it can be placed over a fire with the lid kept on. This is because the materials of the body and the lid are different, so the heat limits they can withstand differ.

hmmm editorial answer

Unlike the body, which is glass-coated metal, the lid only withstands up to 70℃, so the lid must be removed when placing it over a fire or putting it in an oven.

When bubbles or wave marks are visible on the surface of the glass, should I submit an exchange request for a defect or for a simple change of mind?

This is a situation where fine bubbles or wave patterns are discovered on the surface of the delivered glass, causing concern about whether it is a product defect.

HORIE TOUKIKitchenToolHT-8

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.
