Clay Pots

Clay Pots or shāguō (沙锅) is a traditional Chinese earthenware pot, valued for its uniform heat distribution and superior heat retention. Typically glazed inside and left unglazed on the exterior, it excels at slow-simmered dishes such as claypot rice, hearty stews, and braised meats. The pot’s natural porosity promotes gentle moisture circulation, allowing flavors to meld beautifully while enabling seamless cooking and serving in the same vessel.
