I just made a chicken soup and it turned out like this, why?

This size is perfect~ It just so happens that Weee has it in stock and is on sale. The Japanese GINPO pot is very durable. The small casserole I bought before has been used for 3 years without any cracks. It is very durable‼ Our family of 4 is just the right size for making fish head hotpot
Ir Lin
I don't like this pot very much.
weee.13416159
It has arrived. The other casserole I bought before could not be dry-fried after 3 uses, and then it cracked. Although it can still be used, I still want to change to a more expensive one to see if it matches the price.

As exquisite as the buyer's show, I use it every day recently. The pot of porridge that was boiled also went into my husband's belly.

Made in Japan, well packaged, the dream pot, a must have! My sukiyaki pot, my pickled pork with preserved vegetables, my black chicken soup!

Use it to stew soup. The portion is large enough. It’s very enjoyable to drink in winter.
JessieChiu
The delivery box is in good condition, but the inner box of the casserole has marks from being bumped. Fortunately, the inside is not broken. It is handmade, so there are some small flaws, but they should not affect the cooking use. The price after the special offer made me buy it. It has depth for hot pot soups and stews. All suitable
Elsa
Very good! The bone soup in this casserole is cooked into a milky white color in one hour on medium-low heat. It took at least two hours to cook with a stainless steel pot before. Not only does it save time, but the soup is also more delicious. The size is also suitable, and one pot of soup is enough for 6 people to drink
ying
Just opened up the donabe and it’s adorable! I absolutely love it already! The donabe feels like good quality in my hands. The texture is nice and smooth and not too heavy. However, I am disappointed that the paint seems low quality. As you can tell from my photo, the ears on the bunnies aren’t painted on fully. It’s as if someone stamped the bunnies on, but didn’t use enough ink and the top of the ears are missing a chunk of paint T.T

I made braised rice but it had a weird chemical smell after it was cooked...I don't know if it's ok

I throw away after 2 times cooked the paint outside is horrible not good quality at all, it's burned and smell chemicals. I don't think it's good for soup or any hot or cold food , please don't waste your money on it . I forgot take the picture how horrible the pot were, I was angry and throwing away right away after saw the crazy happening.

Good!! Thank you:)

Not only does it look good, but the quality is also very good. I have already opened the pot. I have used it for the first time to cook millet porridge. It is very good. It is just right for two people. It is really convenient to use. I plan to use it to make claypot rice and tofu pot.
