Clay pots are now one of the many cooking tools that don’t get enough credit.
Clay pots do look lovely, but most people who buy them don’t know how to use them for anything other than what they were made for. In reality, you are able to utilize a clay pot in a lot of different ways to make really great food for your friends and family.
You aren’t required to be a two- or three-star Michelin gourmet with an ego comparable to that of Australia. All you need are some amazing recipes that are worth talking about.
Today I’m going to show you four great ways to use your clay powerful ones cooking skills.
- Casseroles
This made-up word is one of the most enjoyable I’ve ever heard. I think it ought to appear in the book, to be honest…
Casseroles in pots made from clay are what you get after you take certain ones delicious dish ingredients or bake them to perfection with only a hint of that distinctive claypot flavor. It’s easy enough to use every day but fancy enough to serve at a dinner party. You can use it with meat, veggies, or even pasta.
- Stews
Another word that was made up is something I know a great deal about: stews
Stews made in clay pots are tasty and filling, and they’re great for cold winter nights when all you want is some good old warm food. Just put some meat, veggies, and fluids in your claypot, turn on the fire, and right before you know it, you’ll have something really special that you can share with your family.
- Baked Potatoes
Yes, a clay pot is the best way to serve hot baked potatoes. It’s easy and delicious: just scrub the potatoes, put them in your best pot, cover them with salt, pepper, and maybe a bit of onion, and cook them until they’re nice and soft. If you don’t like baking, you can also try cooking.
- Soup
This is one of the best of all time.
Chili in claypots is a great way to serve hot soup with a cold day or to have for lunch before going on a walk in the afternoon. To make it, you’ll need meat, vegetables, water or soup, and maybe some spices. It’s easy, tasty, and surprisingly good for you.
Let’s go over again what you can do with these pots:
- Casseroles
- Stews
- Baked Potatoes
- Soup
I will assume that you will use a pot of clay for all four. Some food cooked in clay pots is just too good to be shared.
So, I’ve pretty much said everything I was going to say. I hope you liked this piece and that it taught you some new things about cooking.
