Interesting.

I've always thrown the pod out 'cause I thought one couldn't re-use it.

What do you do? Rinse it off then leave on a towel or something?

Does one have to ensure that the pod doesn't have any nicks in it to exclude seepage into the pod.

I rinse it off and pat dry with tea towel, leave it out for a while then put it back in its jar. I suspect the pod should be whole or you could run into problems down the line.
