Looking at Igamono cookware, the bottoms of the pots and pans are made thick; what is the reason for this?

From the rice cooker Kamadosan to the gambas pan and handled bowl, the bottom parts of several products are commonly molded thick, which makes me wonder what purpose this finish serves.

hmmm editorial answer

It is to craft the ceramic bottom that comes into direct contact with fire thickly, gathering heat in one place and helping the warmth linger for a long time even after cooking.

How can the steam plate included in the steam donabe be used besides for steamed dishes?

There are times when you might wonder about other uses for a plate that appears to be an accessory exclusively for steamed dishes. This question seeks to confirm whether it can be used differently depending on the season or table setting.

If you fill the bottom of the main body with ice and place the plate on top of it, it can be used as a cold vessel that keeps cold foods, like sashimi, freshly served.

Why do brown or black spots appear on the surface of the dish stand wire?

This is a situation where someone was examining a new dish stand, discovered traces such as dark spots or smudges on the wire exterior, and wants to check if it is a product defect or contamination.

hmmm editorial answer

These are natural traces created during the processing stage of coating the wire with transparent polyethylene and heat-treating it; it is not corrosion or a defect, but an inherent characteristic of normal products.

After using a light-colored earthen pot, hairline cracks and dark marks show through on the surface. Is it defective?

After cooking food with a light-colored earthen pot, fine cracks and scorching marks appeared on the outer surface, causing concern over whether there is a defect with the vessel.

hmmm editorial answer

For earthen pots coated with a light glaze, the glaze has high transparency, making it a natural phenomenon for scorching and crack marks within the clay from cooking to show through to the outside.

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.
