Curing and cleaning tips…!
Seasoning of the clay vessels:
Immerse your clay vessel in the water for a day. Take your vessel from the water and dry it with a clean dry cloth. Pour some water in the vessel and heat it for five minutes in oven or stove. Now pour out the water from the vessel and dry it again with the cloth.
This seasoning process is for cooking vessels alone. Clay drinkware needs a normal wash in lukewarm or regular water to be ready for use.
Ready to go…! Your clay vessel is now ready for cooking…!
Cleaning of Clay cookware:
Soap is not a good option to clean a terracotta vessel as it will get soaked into the vessel and later sweeps into the food that is cooked in it. This is not good for us. So, how to clean your vessels??
Here is the tip..!
Soak your terracotta vessel in the water for a few minutes and scrub it with a scrubber or brush. If the stain doesn’t go that easy, soak it in warm water and then scrub it with rock salt. This will give you a clean and fresh clay pot. A little amount of baking soda can be used to remove any unpleasant odour.
Hurray…..! There you have your clean, fresh clay vessel….!
