I just found your blog because of a comment somone left on mine. I wrote a post on nabe in January and a reader alerted me to your yuki-nabe, which I have never had before. Even though it is warming up here in San Francisco, I will be making your nabe this week. It looks delicious! I'm looking forward to reading more of Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795119468340273821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965298.post-1138897570641919972006-02-02T06:26:00.000-10:002006-02-02T06:26:00.000-10:00Thank you Chika, I can see all the photos now.

I don't know about the sex (gender?) of pots though...<BR/><chikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924490532215891887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965298.post-1138820547990250682006-02-01T09:02:00.000-10:002006-02-01T09:02:00.000-10:00Just looking at the nabe makes me feel warmer insi...Just looking at the nabe makes me feel warmer inside.

By now, it all melted as well. Of course in other parts of the country, they got snowed in, but where I live it's quite warm. ^^;<BR/><BR/>I must try that nabe!

I have never personally cooked with earthen pots but I saw them used on Iron Chef the other night. The moderator said that cast iron pots are used when you want to cook something fast and earthen pots are used when you want to cook something slow. Is that true?
