This is a clay pot for cooking rice. I bought it about two years ago and have used it quite a bit. It shows signs of use, but I dried it thoroughly after each use and handled it with care, so there is no significant damage. I think it's good for trying out the basics of cooking rice in a clay pot. P.S. It's said that rice cooked in a clay pot is delicious, but I think rice cooked in a rice cooker tastes better. Please check the details of the clay pot on the internet. Thank you. #ClayPot #RiceCooking #GinpoPottery #2GoRice
