Built for reliability: Fired at 1320°C, this clay pot resists sudden temperature changes and is engineered to withstand extreme conditions—from as low as 20°C up to 450°C—reducing the risk of cracking during normal kitchen use. Foodsafe glaze: A smooth, transparent glaze is applied and fired at temperature to ensure it is of lead and cadmium. The nontoxic finish is safe for direct food contact and easy to clean. Works with common cooktops: The flat bottom ensures stable contact and consistent heating on gas stoves, electric stoves, and ceramic cooktops, making the pot a practical choice for most home kitchens. Better heat circulation and flavor: The spherical design promotes internal heat circulation and a pronounced boiling action that helps naturally tenderize ingredients and concentrate flavors, so stews, soups, and braises develop richer taste and texture. heat retention: A thickened clay body holds heat longer, keeping food warm after cooking and reducing the need for reheating. Durable everyday performance: Designed to handle everyday thermal stress and regular cooking tasks while maintaining shape and glaze integrity. Practical applications: Slow braising: Use for beef or chicken braises where even, steady heat and internal circulation break down connective tissue and infuse flavors. Simmering soups and stews: Ideal for longsimmered broths and vegetable stews that benefit from stable lowtomedium heat and good heat retention. Rice and onepot meals: The pot's shape and heatholding properties produce consistent cooking for rice dishes, congee, and mixed onepot meals without hotspots.
