A dutch oven is a very useful and flexible kitchen utensil, it can cook different types of food such as soups, stews, vegetables and other slow cooker recipes. When made from pure clay, it can change the taste, color, health, and nutritional value of your food forever! Let’s see what special features make a pure clay dutch oven exceptionally beneficial over its conventional counterparts:

It is made from a 100% non-toxic and totally natural material.

Have you heard of a material that is purer than the food grown today? Fruits and vegetables can contain contaminants like chemicals and metals from the polluted soil it’s grown in, but Pure Clay is 100% non-toxic, tested and certified. It is free of contaminants like lead, arsenic, nickel, cadmium, and other metals that can wreak havoc on your body if ingested.

Cooks with unique far-infrared heat that doesn’t destroy nutrients

While conventional cookware cooks with intense heat that destroys delicate nutrients like complex carbohydrates, phytonutrients, etc., Pure Clay is unique in that it cooks food with gentle far-infrared heat that keeps nutrients intact. It is evident from the fact that by accidentally touching a pure clay pot during cooking, your fingers (tissue) will not get burned as in the case of metal/ceramic pots.

It is naturally a vapor lock, so it preserves water-soluble nutrients.

Have you ever heard of a cookware that naturally locks in steam, even if the lid isn’t on tight? Pure clay pots have this great way of handling steam: the release of steam is delayed until the end of the cooking process (due to the gentle heat). When it finally breaks free, it condenses on the inside of the lid (the lid is cooler than the pot) and falls back into the food. Unlike conventional cookware where the steam pressure is too high and the steam has to be released through the vents. As a result, the water-soluble nutrients remain within the food and are there to nourish your body with every meal.

It’s super flexible: use it both on the stovetop and in the oven.

A pure clay dutch oven is comparatively flexible than its metal counterpart. You can use them both on the stovetop and in the oven, no need to buy two different pots for different heat sources, save money! This handmade pot is a workhorse in the kitchen and can be used to cook a variety of different recipes – one pot for all your needs!
