The Clay Pot from Zlakusa
The clay pot is a vessel for long, slow cooking. The Zlakusa pot of clay and calcite goes straight onto the stove or fire and gives dishes a full, traditional taste.
What it is used for
Ideal for beans, stews, goulash and any dish that simmers for a long time. The heat is retained, so the food stays warm even after it is taken off the fire.
Frequently asked questions
What is the clay pot used for?
Long, slow cooking — stews, beans, dishes that need hours. The wall holds heat, so the food simmers evenly.
Can the pot go straight on the stove?
It can. Bring the heat up gradually, and do not set a hot vessel down on a cold surface.
Why does food from a clay pot taste different?
Because of the slow, even heating through a porous wall, with no glaze standing between the food and the clay.
