Handmade Unglazed Clay Cooking Pot

Completely Natural & Eco-Friendly

The Handmade Unglazed Clay Cooking Pot is crafted entirely from natural terracotta, unglazed for purity. Free from chemicals and coatings, it offers an authentic and healthy way of preparing meals. In other words, it allows you to cook the way our ancestors did—slow, natural, and flavorful. As the saying goes, “Cooking is at once child’s play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love.” This clay pot embodies that love for real food.

Available Sizes to Suit Your Needs

For instance, whether you are preparing a family-sized stew or a smaller side dish, this pot comes in three practical sizes:

• Large: 7.2 liters (243.5 oz)
• Medium: 4.5 liters (152.2 oz)
• Small: 2.5 liters (84.5 oz)

Above all, each piece is handmade, meaning no two pots are identical. Slight differences in size or shape are part of their unique charm.

Perfect for Stovetop & Oven Cooking

This pot isn’t limited to one cooking style. Moreover, it is suitable for both stovetop and oven use. You can simmer soups over a gentle flame or roast vegetables in the oven. However, it’s important to remember—avoid induction stoves, as these are not compatible with natural clay cookware. Similarly, always heat it gradually to prevent thermal shock.

Handcrafted in Cappadocia

Each Handmade Unglazed Clay Cooking Pot is carefully produced in the Cappadocia region of Turkey, an area known for its pottery heritage. This tradition ensures not only functionality but also artistry. Therefore, your cooking pot carries a piece of cultural history into your kitchen.

A Healthier Way to Cook

Unlike metal cookware that may strip away the richness of flavor, clay adds depth and a natural earthy aroma to food. The porous texture allows heat and moisture to circulate evenly, keeping meals juicy and tender. Most importantly, it’s free of harmful chemicals, making it a safe choice for your family’s table.

First Use Instructions

Before cooking your first dish, season your clay pot to prepare it for long-lasting use:

1. Rub a thin layer of oil or butter on the entire pot, inside and out.
2. Let the clay absorb the oil fully.
3. Place it in a cold oven and heat gradually at 350°F for about an hour.
4. Allow it to cool before using. A slight temporary odor is normal during this process.

Cleaning & Care Instructions

After that, caring for your pot is simple if done correctly:

• Hand-wash only with water—never use detergents, as the clay absorbs them.
• If extra cleaning is needed, scrub gently with baking soda and rinse.
• Dry completely before storing to prevent mold or odors.
• Store with the lid open in a ventilated area.
• Handle with care, and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracks.

Vintage & Decorative Appeal

In addition to being practical, the clay cooking pot has a rustic beauty. Its earthy texture and antique charm make it suitable for decorative use in kitchens or even as a centerpiece at gatherings. Similarly, it connects you to centuries-old traditions of cooking with clay.
