How Pure Clay Cookware Are Healthier Than Ceramic Clay Cookware

You must have seen a variety of colored, bright, and finished clay utensils on the market that have gained popularity in recent years. If you think that clay cookware is the healthiest and 100% non-toxic, you may be wrong. There is no doubt that clay cookware has been used for centuries in all civilizations to make cookware, but today, even clay comes in a variety.

Pure clay is the only material that is naturally innate and does not reach toxins in food during cooking. The commercially popular clay cookware we see today doesn’t come close to that. They are made of ceramic clay, a composition of stoneware, porcelain or terracotta. It is also coated with enamels and chemical enamels in addition to the chemicals used in the mechanized manufacturing process that they go through. And the colors you see in stores, well, more chemicals! After using so many chemicals, the pot you get is far from healthy or non-toxic. These pots, when used for cooking, filter reactive toxins into food that contaminate them.

To keep the clay non-toxic, it must be in its purest form, like pure clay. It has the natural property of being inert that it can remain intact if no chemicals come into contact with it. Pure clay cookware is made from primary clay collected from non-industrialized and uncultivated land, where it is found to contain absolutely no chemicals or contaminants. In addition, no chemicals are used in the manufacturing process (not mechanized, they are handmade) or for coloring and finishing.

It may seem difficult to find out if a crock pot contains chemicals and leaches toxins, but a simple home test is enough to tell if the pot you are using is made from pure clay or something else. It’s called the alkaline baking soda test. Food is an alkaline substance and so is baking soda. If something reactively leaks into food, it will do the same for baking soda. This is what you need to do:

  1. Boil 2-3 cups of water in any pot, when it starts to boil add 2 teaspoons of baking soda, boil for 5 more minutes. Turn off the stove.

  2. Wait until cool enough to taste and then taste the water (take a sip). If you taste metals, that’s what you are eating! If the water has a rubber / paint taste, it is enamel / enamel chemicals.

As a control, mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda in 1 glass of water and take a sip; you will taste just the baking soda. It’s about time we ditch the unhealthy cookware and switch to cooking in clay pots with pure clay.
