In a variety of sizes, our Chamba soup pot is the perfect solution for cooking and heating stews, broths, chicken dishes, beans, and even for making yogurt from starter. These covered soup pots are handmade from Colombian black clay and are a unique addition to your dinnerware, going directly from stove to table. These versatile soup pots are non-toxic and are great for the conscientious cook's collection. Handcrafted by generations of families in the village of La Chamba, Colombia, these vessels are made of local micaceous clay that is mined from the banks of the Magdalena River. Each piece is stone-smoothed by hand and fired on-site to achieve the signature black finish that puts Chamba in a class of its own. The mica in the clay allows it to withstand a great deal of heat. All-natural and unglazed, it contains no toxins. Chamba can be used in the oven and microwave - even on the stovetop and grill! It cleans up easily and should not be put in the dishwasher. Note: if using on a non-gas stove, we recommend using a copper or aluminum heat diffuser.
