Large Chinese Clay Pot (4.5 qt) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great pot! You can do the white boiled chicken for ten minutes and not have to worry about 20 minutes of simmering as you would with western pots! It's also great to make arroz con pollo and other Latin American stews and rice dishes. I don't think it bakes all that well since it's designed to go on top of the stove (Chinese, I hear, don't bake and they think it's a waste of energy to use this pot in the oven, don't ask!)Customer service from this vendor is fabulous. They sent me recipes, a wooden spoon, and a back scratcher. Dog got the back scratcher, they promised they'd send me another one! If you are into Chinese cooking, like I am since the Chinese restaurants are all buffet style for gringos and their families, do yourself a favor, get one of these extemely reasonably priced Chinese Clay pots, better than any LeCreuset Dutch ovens I have spent a lifetime being snooty about!

Made from exceptional clay found only in China that withstands a direct flame or direct contact with an electric burner. These pots represent a quite ancient and authentic part of Chinese cuisine. They are referred to as "sandy pots" due to their sandy exterior and course texture, yet the interior of these pots has a dark brown, smooth glaze. Many of the clay pots also come with a removable wire "cage" covering the exterior that serve both to protect the fragile earthenware and distribute heat evenly. Ideal for stews. Appealing for their traditional appearance and low cost. Multiple pots easily make a decorative set.
