Ancient Cookware How to Cure a Mexican Clay Cazuela

[@veenamorriswala8995]

What about the lid ? Do we need to do anything with that.

[@ancientcookware9007]

No you don’t

[@fiestaLopez91]

What is a heat diffuser?

[@JLOropezaIII]

Hola! What else can I use if Im intending on using my olla for sweet things like champurrado and don’t necessarily want to use ajito?

[@seanatalavera3301]

When I purchased mine Mexico, they told me to cure it with salt. Same thing, simmer the salt water until it’s almost evaporated.

Nice idea and video! subscribed from Russia

[@marinak.680]

i don't understand for what to put garlic and so on on this cazuela, if it is with a lasur inside?

[@niamh2739]

Where and how do you store all of your clay ware? I just bought a bunch and have no idea where to put it in my kitchen along with all of my other cazuelas /ollas 🙃

[@patsummer135]

I just purchased this type of dishware (a set of cups) & wanted to ask (anyone...plz help) do I need to follow this process for the cups as well? I saw another video where a lady cures her dishware by soaking it inside a large pot of water for 2 days...she stated that she didn't like the garlic method because it takes too much time... I would like to know (plz help anyone 🙏) if soaking with no garlic is ok? Thank you 🙋🏻‍♀️🙌

[@ancientcookware9007]

No you don’t. The curing process is to seal the micropores in the clay to prevent liquids from seeping through. In a cup, liquids will not be in there long enough to do that.

@@ancientcookware9007 Hello señorita. I just bought a clay water jug with cup that is lightly glazed on outside but inside feels not glazed. Is it safe to put water or tequila in it this way or do I need to cure it somehow? Thank you for your time.

Thanks for teaching us sir/ madam...

Can they be used on a glass top electric stove

[@ancientcookware9007]

Yes they can.

[@Nailahh17]

Are all your pots lead-free? since you cook with them. If so where do you purchase yours?

[@ancientcookware9007]

Yes they are. They are inspected prior to entering in the US. We hire artisans in Mexico that produce our products.

What did she say to remember to use if you have an electric stove??

[@davidmurphy6884]

"Remember to use a heat diffuser"

[@jas8815]

Is it only necessary to cure it once? If I don't use it again for a long time, should it be cured again before using?

[@ancientcookware9007]

You should have to cure it only once

[@jas8815]

@@ancientcookware9007 Thank you!

[@amandadrake7324]

What happens if it doesn't get cured?

[@ancientcookware9007]

Liquids can seep through, nothing else.

[@claudia1rod1]

I have a clay pot but the inside of lid is not glazed. How do I cure that? I want to be able to cook with the lid at times

[@ancientcookware9007]

No you don’t

[@matasu]

Gracias no sabia como hacerlo.

[@monicamorgan9417]

What about the lid?

[@ancientcookware9007]

No Monica, you don’t need to cure the lid.

[@ancientcookware9007]

No Monica, you don’t need to cure the lid.

Are these lead free?

Yes they are.

Nice pot Kha milega ye

Excellent Mely!

[@anacasillas8979]

How do you cure the water pitchers with there cup

[@rubymoreno77]

I've read that you do the same. I have also seen Cal Mexicana, mexican Lime used. You make a paste out of the white powder. You brush it on inside and out let it dry for a day and then wash is off with warm water. There ate other videos on KZbin. Let me know what you used I just bought the pitcher and cup. Thanks

[@yomigarcia7532]

Submerged them in water over night than let them dry out in the sun before you use them

[@rjhomsobaid2117]

The glazed pots don't need anything The preparing is for an unglazed pot !

[@ancientcookware9007]

That’s not entirely true. Even with the glaze liquids can seep through.

[@mariadelaluzzilinskas4165]

Why the garlic?

[@Derek.LeStrange]

it keeps the integrity of the clay together. if the clay peels a bit thats fine! just be sure to go through the steps from the video and you'll be fine.

[@elijahhmarshall]

As far as I can tell, the garlic specifically doesn't do anything, but lots of people say it seals it. Maybe I'm wrong though 🤷. Plenty of videos of people doing it without garlic online makes me think it is an old wives tale.
