    Thanks for the kind comments and for watching my first solo video! Since I shot this I’ve made a couple more quick yosenabe dinners in the smaller one. They’ve been relatively cheap and very easy.

    Lots to learn in the kitchen so let me know what you think and what else you want to see from us!

    The genus — and genius — of A.T.E. is taking the esoteric and making it everyday. Each segment, measured and leveled, elevates us into believing that they are the one and the same.

    In Nigeria, we have something called “ikoko irin” (in Yoruba), which translates to iron pot; they are mostly used for cooking for large events and outdoor spaces. Women have them made, with their names engraved on the pots/pans within the set, and pass them down to their children.

    My mother uses a smaller one to prepare (medicinal) herbal teas, generally referred to as “Agbo” on the cooker.

    I would like to know the difference between the donabe and the Korean clay pot. For me they look the same and are made of the same material, I don't know if they are any particular differences.

    Ugh. I miss eating Cantonese style clay pot rice dishes so much. There's so many variations available in SF and in the motherland, but not really down in SD. Been seriously considering getting a clay pot as well. 😭

    As someone who is not Japanese but lives in Japan, Japanese food has made its place in my heart. I’ve been here for long enough that Japan feels like home. Should I leave Japan, I definitely need to make these dishes to recollect memories of my time here in japan. I’m still here so I’m okay but I know the moment I leave that will change. Watching this video made me think these feelings. It was such a pleasure to see your experiences.

    I love that slightly burnt rice in the bottom. My grandma used to cook rice with stove & metal pot, everytime she cooked there would be some dry slightly burnt rice at the bottom of the pot, she used to add some salt and hot water, and i would eat it from the pot.
    I miss my grandma 😭

    So I'm Haitian and it never ceases to amaze me how different cultures are so different yet so similar, rice is a HUGE part of our culture and everybody knows the crunchy rice at the bottom is a delicacy, I thin the Chinese have something called Bo-zai-fan (spellcheck) and it revolves around the crunchy rice, this is why I love learning about other cultures

    I've never seen a steam insert for a tajine (in Moroccan cooking the steaming is done by layering, i.e. layer of aromatic/hardy vegetables to protect the bottom from burning, then meat, spice paste, then another layer of soft fastcooking vegetables to release water and steam), cool to see there are ceramic ones!
