Cook on Clay is committed to creating pottery that is beneficial to both the environment and the people who use it. Our flameproof clay cookware is 100% environmentally safe and non-toxic.
Cook on Clay flameware pots are healthy for you and the earth.
Cook on Clay flameware pots are microwave and dishwasher-safe and extremely easy to clean. Baked-on foods can be removed by simple scrubbing with soap and water — you will be amazed by how easily foods release from our pots’ surfaces. Don’t be afraid to run your Cook on Clay pots through the dishwasher — it is a great way to remove residual oils.
The surfaces of Cook on Clay pots will change through use and over time. This is a natural part of the maturation process, creating a rich patina and history of use.
Cook on Clay pottery is 100% designed and handmade in America. Most other high quality cookware sold in America is made by European companies in Asia. Resisting the siren song of foreign manufacturing, Cook on Clay has invested in building a sustainable woman-owned business participating in and contributing to our local community.
The Cook on Clay mission and vision celebrates the importance of the slow food movement, sourcing from local farms and producers, and engaging with international cooking methods and recipes. Continuing a long tradition of American craftsmanship, Cook on Clay melds beauty and utility in every piece to honor the deeply gratifying, universal act of cooking.
At Cook on Clay, we strive to become a model for entrepreneurial artisan manufacturing -- inspiring designers and artists to look towards domestic production and small manufacturers to think creatively about their business models. Ultimately, we believe local values-based American businesses offer greater long-term rewards than can ever be achieved in chasing higher short-term profits by sending manufacturing oversees.
Artisan manufacturers will have a social impact on future artists and craftspeople. The general public will have increased access to well-designed products made locally. Artisans are becoming manufacturers as new technologies allow fine design and excellent quality to be produced in quantity - and not mass-produced. This blend of craftsperson, businessperson, and manufacturer holds the future for small-batch ceramic production.
Education is a core value of Cook on Clay. Beyond educating people about good food, cooking, and ceramic cookware, Cook on Clay is committed to educating the next generation of young women looking to studio arts as a career choice in sustainable business practices and the advantages of expanding their choices of tools to include artisan manufacturing through our Zakin Apprenticeship Program.
