Does it have glaze inside? I heard the traditional stoneware pot does not glaze inside?

The donabe is glazed on the inside and porous on the outside.Before you cook, make sure that the bottom of the donabe is dry. After using,the donabe will definitely have crack-like lines, but it is natural, actually a good sign, not crack, so please don't worry. Donabe must be cured prior to use. 1 Check that the bottom is dry 2 Fill 80 percent with water. Add COOKED rice to equal 1/5 the amount of water. (The end result will be porridge, NOT 'rice'. See below.) 3 Cook over low heat until rice porridge gets thick and glue-like sticky. 4 When finished, cool for at least one 1 hour then remove and wash donabe with water. The "glue" fills up the invisible holes and makes the donabe stronger

Mine is glazed inside and out. This is earthenware, not stoneware. The instructions with it (though in Japanese which i cannot read) indicate it can't tolerate extremes of temperatures. I have served dishes in it, but I have not cooked with it.

It has a smooth finish inside. I'm assuming this is a glaze. Hope this helps.

There is a glaze of sorts, but it's still porous. You need to finish or season the interiour by boiling some rice porridge in it for at least an hour. The starches from the rice will bond with the pores and seal the inside of the pot. After you do that you just rinse and wipe out the excess starch then let it completely dry. Then it will be ready for cooking.

Yes - the inside bottom is glazed and easy to clean. But sorry to say the inside of the lid is not, and some splashes are hard to remove. But I still love my Römertopf it's one of my favorite ways of cooking. Lilo

The inside ceramic pot does, which you would expect, but I don't remember the outside getting overly hot (I have only used it a couple of times so far).

Thanks. I had it once but had to return due to a non-working clock. Also the glass pot was not like the picture with a protective plastic rim. The manufaturer said they had replaced it with an all glass that worked better for pouring. Is yours all glass?

No, no glaze anywhere on this vessel. For that reason, food sticks and is nearly impossible to remove, even withsalt scrubbing. The stains do not come off. I was disappointed in the whole process.

The inside of the Tumbleweed Pottery Garlic keeper is glazed. I like the keeper for storing garlic which keeps it fresh.

Hi- I own one and the inside is glazed, same as the outside. I use it all the time and it works great. Also came very well packed and arrived quickly.

I looked up Joyce Chen Stoneware and it states that all of her pots are have a lead free glaze!

Yes, the pot itself is ceramic. My wife and I really love this slow cooker. The hinged lid is fantastic!

Yes there is enamel on the interior and it works perfectly. Best wok we have owned for ceramic or induction cook top (hobs).

The pots do not have any type of Teflon on the inside cooking surface. The pots/pans are made of a rock particle making them unique in the Kitchen Cookware products.

Stoneware is notorious for having glazes that have lead. That being said, there are many glazes that do NOT have lead in them. I bought one of these pots at Walmart and it occurred to me that it was glazed differently from the one shown here. Then I got to thinking about lead in the glaze. I ended up here trying to find out if the pot was lead free. So far no answers to that question.

Only the exterior is stainless steel. The interior pot is a nonstick pot, though the rice can stick a bit if you let it sit for too long.

The interior of the pot is eggshell. The underside of the lid is like a dark chocolate, the same color as the exterior. Pat

Maybe I misunderstood your question. Yes the stoneware does get very hot and you will need to use a potholder.

there is your typical finish that you see in all ceramics. I did not see any additional coating. Pot was packaged well and washes like other ceramics. Manual might be referring to the gloss finish as there are some old traditional ceramics that do not have the gloss finish. All commercial ceramics have a gloss finish.
