Benefits of Cooking in  Clay Pot:

This provides plenty of moisture and means that you can cook with less oil and fat.


Since Clay is alkaline in nature and when food is cooked it neutralizes the PH balance 

of food and hence acts as a natural detox.


Slow cooking process retains all the nutrients of the food that we cook and hence the 

food is much tastier.


Reheating the food always leads to loss of nutrition but if you cook in a clay pot it retains 

the temperature for a longer time and no worries for reheating.


1. Preparing Clay Pots Prior to First Use:

Take the earthen pot and immerse it in water for a couple of hours.

You can also leave it immersed in a sink filled with water overnight.

Remove from water and let the pot dry completely.


2. Seasoning Clay Pots:

Take any vegetable oil and rub it nicely all over the pot.

Fill the pot up to ¾ level with water and cover with the lid before placing it on your stove at low 

temperature for 2-3 hours. You can also keep it in your oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit instead.

Bake the pot for 2 to 3 hours before removing from the heat. Let it cool down before washing.

This process hardens the pot, makes it crack resistant and also helps in getting rid of the clay smell.


3. Before Cooking:

Submerge the clay pot in water for approximately 15 to 20 minutes before cooking food so that the 

pot absorbs water saving. The steam released as the pot gets heated slowly helps in preventing the food 

from drying out while maintaining its natural flavours.

Ensure proper temperature settings because a sudden increase or decrease in temperature may

lead to cracks or breakage. Place the pot in the centre of the oven and let it slowly heat. Always 

cook food on low or medium heat.


4. While Cooking:

The ideal cooking temperature should be between 190 degree Celsius and 250 degrees Celsius. 

Unlike metal cookware, clay pots take longer to heat, therefore, on an average, cook the food for 

15 to 20 minutes longer in comparison to your regular pots.

While cooking food in a clay pot, the temperatures need to be set approximately 40 degrees Celsius 

higher than your regular cookware. In case, the recipe has a longer duration, it is suggested that you

cook on low heat.

Never add cold water or cold spices while the pot is hot as it may lead to breakage or cracks.

If required, add only warm water.


5. Post Cooking:

Always use oven mittens or any kind of bakers pad to lift the hot pot.

Place the pot on a mat, wooden surface or kitchen towel. Placing a hot pot on a cold surface may 

lead to cracks.

Be careful of hot steam while removing the lid of the pot.

These are some basic steps that would help in making cooking more effortless and easy while

using clay pots.



How to Clean Clay Cookware?

Taking care of your clay pot is important too, therefore, follow these simple steps while cleaning 

your earthen cookware:


As far as possible, make sure you hand-wash the clay pots and avoid putting them in a dishwasher.


Immerse the pot in warm water to loosen the bits of food.


Do not use harsh chemical detergents and avoid excessive scrubbing.


A mixture of baking soda and water can be applied to the pot for removing the strong smell of 

certain ingredients.


If any kind of mould gets formed, put salt or baking soda on a scrub pad and gently remove

the mould.


Boil the pot in water for 20 to 30 minutes to unclog the pores.


Never use detergent or soap to clean the clay pots. The pores may absorb the soap and lend a 

soapy flavor and taste to your dishes.
