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.
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.
The dining table after boiling a bubbling stew and turning off the heat — there are moments of surprise when thin hairline cracks or dark marks show through on the once-clear surface of an earthen pot.
It is a natural change. Among the earthen pots of Igamono, products coated with a light glaze exhibit a discoloration phenomenon where scorching and internal crack marks show through to the outside when cooking[1]. Compared to black glaze, light glaze has higher transparency, so the marks created as the earthen pot receives heat show through to the surface[2].
Pottery shaped from clay often develops fine hairline cracks known as crazing due to the difference in shrinkage between clay and glaze during the process of heating over a flame and cooling. The vessel is not broken; it is a seasoning process as it withstands heat, so you can use it with peace of mind.
hmmm, the way it holds heat and gradually leaves marks is akin to the earthen pot's unique grain maturing together with meals in the kitchen.
A dedicated care method to mitigate scorching that forms on the surface of light-glazed products has not yet been confirmed.
