• Healthy Cooking - Clay is a porous material so heat and moisture circulate evenly through the pot, creating tender and juicy dishes with bolden flavors. Because of its natural cooking process, it also retains all the natural vitamins and minerals of the food. Terracotta cookware is also alkaline in nature, hence it interacts with the acidity in the food and neutralizes the pH balance.
