Why We Selected This Piece

At Rootsware, we carry glazed Anatolian clay because it offers the heat retention and flavor qualities of traditional clay cookware with the practical advantage of a sealed, easy-clean surface. The glaze is lead-free and food-safe. We selected these for households that want traditional clay cooking without the intensive care routine of unglazed ware.

Care & Cleaning

• Hand-wash preferred. The glazed surface tolerates mild soap unlike unglazed clay.
• Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the glaze.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes — place in a cold oven and heat gradually.
• Not suitable for induction cooktops. Compatible with gas, electric, and oven.

No. Clay cookware is not compatible with induction stovetops.
