claypot
Ceramic cooking container
A claypot is an unglazed earthenware vessel used for cooking, prized for its ability to distribute heat evenly and retain moisture.
Common in Asian, North African, and Mediterranean cuisines, claypot cooking produces tender, aromatic dishes: claypot rice, claypot chicken.
The porous clay absorbs flavors over time, seasoning with use.
