Collection: Clay Pots

A clay pot is traditionally used for slow cooking dishes like stews, soups, curries, and rice. It is also ideal for recipes that benefit from gradual heat distribution, such as casseroles and braised meats. Clay pots are widely used in Asian and Mediterranean cooking for their ability to enhance natural flavours.

Yes, clay pots are considered one of the healthiest cookware options. They are made from natural materials without harmful chemicals or coatings. Cooking in a clay pot can help retain nutrients, reduce the need for oil, and may add trace minerals like calcium and iron to your food.

You can cook a wide variety of dishes, including:

• Rice and claypot rice dishes

• Soups and broths

• Curries and stews

• Braised meats and vegetables

• Traditional dishes like bibimbap (in stone bowls)

Clay pots should be cleaned using warm water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid using soap, as the porous surface can absorb it. Let the pot dry completely before storing to prevent mould or cracking.

Clay pots offer more even heat distribution and healthier cooking compared to some metal cookware. They don’t release harmful chemicals and allow for low-oil cooking. However, they require more care and are more fragile than stainless steel or non-stick pots.
