According to Paula Wolfert, "all Mediterranean food used to be cooked in clay." In the Han dynasty, pots unglazed on the exterior known as ''Fu (cooking pot), fus'' (now called sandy pots) were used for wet clay cooking. In Japan clay pots are mentioned from the 8th century and originally referred to as nabe.

Moisture
Moisture is the presence of a liquid, especially water, often in trace amounts. Moisture is defined as water in the adsorbed or absorbed phase. Small amounts of water may be found, for example, in the air (humidity), in foods, and in some commercial products. Moisture also refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air. The soil also includes moisture. Moisture control in products Control of moisture in products can be a vital part of the process of the product. There is a substantial amount of moisture in what seems to be dry matter. Ranging in products from cornflake cereals to laundry detergent, washing powders, moisture can play an important role in the final quality of the product. There are two main aspects of concern in moisture control in products: allowing too much moisture or too little of it.

Burnishing (pottery)
Burnishing is a form of pottery treatment in which the surface of the pot is polished, using a hard smooth surface such as a wooden or bone spatula, smooth stones, plastic, or even glass bulbs, while it still is in a leathery 'green' state, i.e., before firing. How to burnish The process of burnishing pottery happens when the clay is in a “leather-hard” state. Leather-hard clay is partially dried clay that is in-between being malleable and being brittle. It is important to wet the piece before burnishing because scratch marks will be present on the surface if the clay is too dry. The direction you rub the tool on the surface can also affect the pattern produced. After firing, the surface is extremely shiny. Burnishing gives pottery a reflective surface without having to use a ceramic glaze. It is described as a low-tech way of finishing pottery because burnished pottery needs to be fired below 1832F (1000C), which is different from firing glaze. Burnishing can also be a ...
