this thread feels very inspiring because I really love Japanese donburi rice bowl dishes although I’ve only had them in Japanese restaurants. Plus certain Chinese clay pot dishes from past dining experiences in sf Chinese restaurants throughout these past two centuries...

Needless to say, no earthenware cooking pots for us!
is this related to physical health, taste, food safety, or mental health? I’ve heard that cracks & chips on plates are not healthy.
