Chinese Clay Soup Pot

Chinese clay soup pots are used in homes and restaurants all over Asia. They are placed on the stove to cook traditional soups and stews.

Use the pot to make a fragrant broth flavoured with ginger, garlic and spring onions. You can add chicken, pork bones,shiitake mushrooms or other dried vegetables. Add rice or noodles to make it a complete meal.

You can use the clay pot to make slow-cooked casseroles and curries.

The pot has an earthenware clay exterior and a glazed interior. It features two handles so you can carry it from stove to table.

Caring for your clay pot:

Before first use, soak your clay pot in warm water overnight and leave to dry. After cooking, wash the pot in hot water and dry before storing. The clay pot is not dishwasher safe.

Never place a clay pot into a preheated oven as this may cause it to crack. The clay pot can be used on a gas hob but this requires pre-soaking and a very gentle heat.
