Guide to Choosing Artisanal Cookware

Choosing the right material is essential for the type of dishes you want to cook. Clay is a porous material that absorbs water and releases it gradually as steam during cooking, keeping food tender. It is ideal for oven baking stuffed cabbage, bread, or roasts.

Cast iron is famous for its exceptional heat retention and even distribution. Cast iron cookware is perfect for frying, sautéing, and slow cooking on low heat, usable both on the stovetop and in the oven. They are extremely durable and get better with each use.

Frequently Asked Questions about Artisanal Cookware

How to prepare a clay pot before first use?

Unglazed clay pots need to be "hydrated". Submerge the pot completely in cold water for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight). This process prevents cracking from heat. Also, never put a cold clay pot into a hot oven; heat them up gradually together.

Can I use clay pots on an open flame?

Most traditional clay pots are intended exclusively for oven use. Placing them directly on a stove flame can lead to immediate cracking due to localized thermal shock. Always check the manufacturer's specifications.

How do I clean clay cookware without damaging it?

Avoid strong detergents, as the clay pores can absorb them. Use warm water and a stiff brush or coarse salt to scrub food residues. Let the pot air dry completely in a ventilated place before storing (to prevent mold).
