The Village Pots are made by a fourth generation potting family in rural Malaysia, led by father Ah Meng who we refer to as ‘Uncle’. They are made using organic local clay that is filtered to remove the impurities. No chemicals are added, just pure clay. The pots are glazed on the inside with a natural home-made glaze, offering a smooth surface to prevent sticking when cooking. 

 

Can be used to cook over gas, fire, charcoal and in the oven. To use on an induction and electric stove top, a heat diffuser or simmer mat must be placed beneath the pot.

 

Toxin free - NO lead, cadmium and other harmful substances.

The shape and size of each pot is uniform, though the colour tones may vary from the photographs due to the mysterious nature of wood-firing. 

 

The clay pot is ancient technology. It’s what our ancestors cooked in. Earth is moulded with hands and water, dried and then hardened by a fire of burning wood to create a functional cooking vessel. These are pots have been used for decades throughout Asia.

 

Your pot will age and darken beautifully the more you cook in it.

Hairline cracks will form over time on the bottom and inside of the pot - this is normal and a natural part of the ageing process. It does not affect your cooking and your pot is still useable. We've been cooking frequently in these pots for over 7 years in both a home and commercial setting and they are still intact, despite the hairline cracks.
