Pink Stoneware Tureen

When it comes to cookware, clay has numerous advantages over many other materials. Food cooked in ceramic vessels stays hot longer, as heat and steam circulate throughout the pot. Food doesn't get burnt and retains all vitamins and minerals because it is cooked in a moist, enclosed pot. The alkalis present in clay pots add a rich aromatic flavor that makes food spectacularly delicious. Moreover, when kept in clay pottery, dairy products and pastry stay fresh longer, compared to containers made of most other materials. Clay pots are an all-in-one soup kettle, vegetable steamer, and fish poacher.
