Do you have any clay pot recipes

Hi, Looking for some tasteful recipes made with Clay pot, thanks in advance

I dont know any recipes but I feel I should offer you some advice,

I ate clay once when I was in primary school and it tasted like shyte, I really dont think theres anything you could add to clay to disguise the gross clayey taste.
Plus once its been baked and has become hard I imagine its actually quite dangerous.

Fashion some clay into a hollow stem with a bowl.
Let it dry.
Add pot and enjoy.

Funny replys, but seriously I saw a cooking show the other day someone was using clay pots to cook a curry in. I think you have to soak the clay pot in water before cooking with but you probably already know that. Sorry no recipes but I'm sure what ever you cook will be yummas.

Now that we've all got the munchies 😇

Just do it like a crock pot. Throw in chicken or whatever meat, onions, celery, potatoes, carrots, bunch of herbs (or spices) that go together- then cook.
Serve with torn apart crusty bread....

I don't think it can go wrong, but I've never cooked in one.

Just asked uncle google and this looks yum if you eat chicken.

Happy cooking

Have you seasoned your clay pot yet?

damnit

1. Never soak a clay pot before cooking in it. The water will permeate the clay body and when heated the water will turn to steam and crack or explode the pot.

2. As said above, do it like a crock pot...which is all that is (a ceramic pot in an electric fire). Cooking over a fire is not what you want, however. You want to surround the pot (top to bottom) with hot coals, and keep replenishing them as they turn to ash. The key is to heat it slowly and evenly in the coals to avoid uneven expansion and cracking.

3. Low and slow cooking over a few hours will do the trick.

ETA: Instead of coals, you can achieve the same result in an oven. That provides slow, even, all around heat like a coal bed.

Good luck.

You're wrong. It needs to be seasoned.

Once.

That seasoning is done as part of the cooking. I have made them, by hand, myself. And have cooked in them over an open coal pit many many times. If someone wants to crack their pot by taking bad advice, so be it.

Do you sell them?

Do you sell them?

Yes. How many have you made, from a ball of raw clay, on a pottery wheel? Then, fired them in a kiln for 8-10 hrs (minimum). Then used them to cook on an open "fire" bed of coals.

How many?
The seasoning happens naturally. Doing this extra seasoning crap is superfluous and not needed. However, soaking a clay pot in water then heating it will risk cracking the pot.


As I said, if someone wants to follow bad advice, so be it. I provided my advice. If you don't believe me, check the Members Art forum for samples of my wares.


ETA: I'll save you the trouble of looking. Here is the ATS thread with some of my wares..........
Just a small sample of my latest pottery pieces

Jesus ass, calm down. I've used them at work a lot. I wanted to see your work.

But now, not really.

Perhaps you should refrain from leading off with "You're wrong" next time? Now you know why I am Krakatoa and "One Quake Away From Erupting".

All your art looks good. Any pics of your clay pots for cooking?

a reply to: Krakatoa

I just assumed you were from Java.

All sold, but I'll be making more come spring. Firing in the winter sucks ass. I don't sell online. I sell in-person, more of a chance to get a hands-on feel and know the history of a piece. Know that they aren't made in a factory, all exactly the same. Each piece has it's own personality, it's own history.

You don't get that form a factory.

Soooooo, any recipes?
