Cookware Shop - Clay Pots

Soups made from them reserve the original taste and flavor. Made from clay and burned over high heat, clay pots have high heat resistance and you can always place them over medium-low heat for a long period of time. They also have good aeration but low heat radiation and thus fit for cooking long-boiled soups and stewed soups.


Preparation
Rub a layer of oil at the outside of the clay pot and pour in water until 80% filled before use. Set it aside for a night and bring to the boil over low heat. Set aside to let cool, and remove the water. Then the pot is ready for normal use. This way prevents the clay pot from breaking easily. Or you can soak the clay pot in water from rinsing rice for 1 ~ 2 Days to let the water blocks any small holes or cracks at the outside surface of the pot. it also makes the pot more durable. Always cook from cold water and add in hot water when the inside of the pot is hot so as to avoid the pot cracked due to large temperature difference.
