Why clay
Clay holds heat well, so food stays warm on the table. Clay bowls also give a meal a traditional, homely feel that many people love for curry and rice.
Care
Rinse with warm water before first use. Wash gently by hand with warm water, avoid harsh detergents and soaking, and let the bowls air dry fully before stacking.
Cooking in clay
Clay has been used for cooking for thousands of years. It heats gently and holds warmth well, so curries, dal and rice cook evenly and stay hot on the table. Many cooks say food cooked or served in clay tastes earthier and more traditional. Clayware like the clay curry bowls brings that tradition to your kitchen.
Seasoning new clay
Before first use, soak clay in water for a few hours and let it dry. Some cooks also rub the inside with a little oil. Always heat clay slowly and avoid sudden changes of temperature, such as putting a hot pot on a cold, wet surface. Looked after like this, the clay curry bowls will last for years.
