I don’t believe it has the same limitations as a traditional donabe. This is oven safe, induction abled, no seasoning required.
I am pretty confused about what I can and can’t do with it given the above (here is a link to the product) [https://kinto-usa.com/collections/cookware/products/25192?variant=22206827397168](https://kinto-usa.com/collections/cookware/products/25192?variant=22206827397168)
Kinto has a bread recipe posted on their blog, however in the care instructions it says not to heat it up without water…These two contradict each other as a bread recipe does not include water in the donabe….
Can someone help me understand what I can and cannot do with this?
Originally I bought this with the intention of slow cooking, stewing, braising in it but now I am concerned that I shouldn’t do that in case it cracks (if I don’t fill it with water)

Hmm. Interesting. I’ve never used one but I have used clay pots before. They all need to have water or liquid in them. So your original intention of slow cooking, stewing or braising is fine as long as there is liquid in the pot – stock, wine, etc.
As for the bread, some bread recipes require you to steam the bread as it cooks. That’s usually accomplished by putting a pan of water in the oven with the bread. In this case it comes with a steam plate does it not? Is there enough room to put the bread on the steam rack? If so you would fill the bottom of the bowl with an inch or two of water, put the rack/plate on and then put the dough on the rack. That is what I’m guessing. I wish you good luck with this!
