Popular clay pot dishes include chicken with shiitake mushrooms and Chinese sausage, or rice with soy-marinated pork belly. Also known as a \u003cem\u003eshāguo\u003c\/em\u003e in Mandarin or a \u003cem\u003ebàozai\u003c\/em\u003e in Cantonese, the pots are made of earthenware clay with a rich brown glaze on the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Chinese clay pot retains its heat for a long period of time – ideal for keeping food warm throughout a lengthy meal. It happily makes a two-person dish, but can feed many more if served as a single dish in a larger meal. The lid also allows it to lock in moisture creating an exceptionally succulent end result. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn how to use a claypot, how to care for it, and what to cook in it with our ultimate guide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eBefore first using a Chinese clay pot soak it in warm water overnight and allow it to dry naturally. After each use wash the pot in soapy water, rinse and dry. These Chinese clay pots are not suitable for dishwashers. It is important not to pre-heat the oven when using a Chinese clay pot as this may cause cracks. Instead, place the pot and its contents in a cold oven and set the temperature. The clay pot can be heated on the hob but requires pre-soaking in water and a very gentle heat to avoid cracking. We recommend soaking for 10-20 minutes before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22cm Clay Pot -\u003c\/strong\u003e external diameter including handle: 22cm, external diameter without handle: 17cm, internal diameter: 13cm, depth with lid: 11.3cm, depth without lid: 6.7cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24cm Clay Pot -\u003c\/strong\u003e external diameter including handle: 24cm, external diameter without handle: 19.4cm, internal diameter: 16cm, depth with lid: 11.3cm, depth without lid: 7.4cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"China Import","offers":[{"title":"22cm","offer_id":47774999281718,"sku":"sdr1789690537985","price":11.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24cm","offer_id":47774999314486,"sku":"vuy1789690537986","price":13.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/0953\/9638\/files\/chinese-clay-pot_1.jpg?v=1789690541","url":"https:\/\/compassclad.shop\/products\/chinese-clay-pot","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
