Why Clay Cookware?

Cook on Clay Roaster

Cook on Clay flameproof pots help intensify flavors. Heat builds more slowly and holds throughout your meal. This is reflected in the taste and texture of the food.

You cook from the heart.
Choose cookware made the same way. 

On Whidbey Island, about an hour north of Seattle, we craft each Cook on Clay pot by hand. Our flameproof cooking pots are made from a clay that is specifically formulated to resist cracking or breaking under the stress of high heat cooking environments. They go from the stove to the sink, the freezer to the oven, the grill to the table.  

Cook on Clay pots are made using a special flameware clay recipe passed down to Robbie Lobell, the artist, by the pioneer of flameware, Karen Karnes. In addition to being spectacularly resilient, Cook on Clay pots are uniquely beautiful on the table. They are exquisite vessels that will amplify the pride you have in the food you create, from the stove to the table.

We hope you will enjoy using your pots as much as we did making them.

Cook on Clay pots are healthy for you and the environment.

Our cookware is dishwasher-safe, microwave-proof, and goes seamlessly from freezer to oven. No seasoning of the pot is necessary. To hand wash, just soak for 10 minutes and wash as you would any other pot. From knives to metal utensils to scrub pads -- the surface is impervious. 

You can store our pots the same way you would any other but most folks prefer not to hide them away but to keep them on display. 

There is a Cook on Clay pot for all your recipes and cooking methods.
