Clay Cookware

The discussion about enameled cast iron got me thinking about my pots and pans. I am promiscuous where cookware material is concerned. I have enameled cast iron, non-enameled cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, clay and nonstick pots and pans. My favorite is my Piral coated earthenware pot. It’s about three quarts. I use it for soups, pasta sauce, etc. Where it really shines is cooking dried legumes. The texture comes out nice and creamy. Is anyone else here a fan of earthenware pots and pan…

Keeping store-bought bread fresh

I have a terracotta bread crock. It works quite well, often keeping breads good for a week or longer. Prior to getting a nice deal on the bread crock I had discovered the keeping power of clay when I stashed half a loaf in a Romertopf roaster. I remembered the loaf 5 days later and it was still quite fresh! The roasters turn up frequently at thrift stores in excellent condition - usually selling for under $10 in my area.
