Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose beautiful kitchen utensils that last?

Favor natural materials like ceramics, earthenware, wood, or steel, and genuine craftsmanship. A good utensil feels pleasant in the hand, is well finished, and designed for its use. Choose according to your cooking style and maintain it simply; it will accompany you for many years.

What is an earthenware rice cooker, or donabe?

A donabe is an earthenware pot that cooks rice over the fire. The clay gradually heats up and produces fluffy, shiny rice, close to traditional cooking. Some models are also used for soups and stews.

How do I care for ceramic tableware?

It depends on the piece. Glazed ceramics are easy to wash, but some matte or unglazed finishes prefer hand washing. Refer to each product’s page for instructions, including dishwasher and microwave use, to keep your pieces for a long time.

What tableware should I use for entertaining and everyday use?

Choose pieces that mix and stack, in shades and shapes you like. Solid and well-designed tableware transitions from everyday use to a meal with friends without a hitch. A few beautiful pieces are better than a full set that quickly goes out of style.

Do all your kitchen items come from Japan?

No. A large part comes from Japan, such as ceramics or earthenware cookers, but the selection also includes brands from other countries, chosen for the same quality. The origin of each piece is specified on its product page. Maison Godillot sells online and ships orders.
