\r\n\r\nYes, they are. What is important their porous clay surface allows for even distribution of heating. These pots are very good because they can be used over most heat sources (stovetops, traditional ovens, microwave ovens).

\r\n\r\nThat's pretty easy!\r\n\r\nFirstly you should know that Donable pots need re-hydration. As sson as you purchase a Donabe, fill it with tap water and let it stand for several hours until all the water has been absorbed. If you do not use pot for a long time, re-hydrate it again before using. \r\n\r\nDonable should only be used to cook dishes with a soup or stock base such as miso soup or a stew type recipe. Because of their porous texture, you should never attempt to cook completely dry foods or fry foods in oil in these pots. Dishes that benefit from a melding of flavors are ideal for preparation in a Donabe pot as the even heat distribution allows for a sublime blending of flavors. Clay pots never get hot in any one spot, nearly eliminating the need for stirring. And because you seldom have to lift the lid to stir, even the toughest choice of meats and chunks of vegetables simmer until tender in their own juices—and retain all their nutrients for maximum health benefit.
