The Kettle from Zlakusa
The kettle is a vessel for cooking over an open fire. The Zlakusa kettle of clay and calcite withstands the flame and is ideal for dishes cooked outdoors.
What it is used for
Most often for fish stew, beans and outdoor dishes. A clay kettle gives a different taste compared with a metal one.
Frequently asked questions
What is the clay kettle for?
Cooking over an open fire — fish stew, beans, and dishes made outdoors.
How does it differ from a metal kettle?
Clay heats more slowly and evenly and leaves no metallic note in the food. In exchange it wants more care: a gradual fire and no sudden changes of temperature.
Can it be hung over the fire?
The shape is made for fire, but how a particular vessel is hung depends on how it was made — a question for the maker.
