Hakan Clay Pot with Cover Hakan Suphan Clay Pot Hakan Terracotta Pan Hakan Efes Terracotta Pot Hakan Suphan Handmade Pot Why is the pot heavy? Our pots are made from natural Anatolian clay and shaped entirely by hand. The thickness of the clay gives the pot its characteristic weight, which helps with heat retention and even cooking. Why do the colors vary from pot to pot? Each pot is fired in a traditional open-fire setting, not in industrial kilns. Color differences occur naturally depending on how the flames and heat interact with different areas of the pot during firing. These variations make each piece unique. Why is the inside of the pot black? The black color inside the pot is a natural result of traditional open-fire firing. Since our Efes clay pots are not glazed, this smoky residue can sometimes transfer to your hands during first use or handling. This is completely normal and harmless. Why should I do a first cure before use? Curing helps strengthen the pot and prepares it for cooking. We recommend starting the curing process directly by applying oil and gently heating the pot. Should I soak the pot before each use? No. Once properly cured, the pot does not need to be soaked. Always cook on low heat and avoid sudden temperature changes. Why does my pot have surface marks or small imperfections? These are normal in handmade pottery. Marks, texture variations, and slight asymmetries are signs of craftsmanship and do not affect the pot’s usability or quality. Is the pot lead-free or does it contain any harmful substances? Yes, our pots are 100% natural and free from lead or any harmful chemicals. They are made using only clay and water, with no additives or glazes. Is it suitable for making yogurt? No. Because the pot is porous, it’s not recommended for yogurt-making, as it may absorb liquids. Can I store food in the pot for long periods? Not recommended. Due to its porous nature, the pot is ideal for cooking and serving—but not for storing food for extended periods, especially if the dish contains moisture or oil. What does "twice baked" mean? Is my pot twice baked? “Twice baked” refers to pottery that is fired two times—once to harden the clay, and a second time to finish the surface. Our Efes pots are traditionally fired once, in open flame, without glaze. Hence preserves their natural, porous structure. ## Features - 🧩 Natural and Unglazed: Made from 100% natural, UNGLAZED terracotta, Hakan Efes Clay Pot is healthy, safe, and traditional.

Everything from pot roast to Irish Stew to various soups. All turned out great and the meat was nice and tender.As many have said, I only use water to clean my pots, but will use lemon or baking soda if needed. I get no funny tastes out of them, and they are safe to eat from. Very important to air-dry them well before storage or you will have mold problems.These are handmade and the dimensions/symmetry may be a bit off. It does not mean they won't work properly, just means it will be unique. One of my pots has a high side, but the lid does sit on it well (though it also isn't completely flat) and it cooks just fine. I keep my oven temps. below 400 degrees F. as I don't want to push its limits too much. Haven't had a problem with it yet. My pot roast requires about 2 hours to cook at this temperature, while my soups and stews are about 1.5 hours.If you have a gas oven, I would recommend you initially set the temperature at 200 degrees F. for about 10 to 15 minutes, then increase it to your desired temperature for cooking. This will be less stressful on the clay. I also recommend watching several YouTube videos on how to season the unglazed clay pot for cooking. I learned a lot from some women of India who cook with these all the time.I own several glazed pots, but I'm beginning to like the unglazed ones for several reasons (not damaging the glazing is one of them, there is none).My only gripe with this pot is in the lid. The knob on the lid is either straight walled on it's side or slightly beveled out away from its crown. This makes it a bit difficult for hot gloved hand to grab onto the lid and lift it off. I often have to slide the lid to the side to get a grip on it. If your fingers could grip around the crown of the clay knob on top, it would be a great improvement and a bit safer too (less likely to be dropped). Otherwise, I still would recommend this to anyone interested in trying this style of cooking. I know I enjoy it... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect product *by on Reviewed in the United States June 9, 2026* Very good sell and perfect product ### ⭐ The lid literally fell apart! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 9, 2025* This is by far my worst purchase ever at Amazon!I cured the pot and lid prior to first use exactly as directed - oiled them and baked them at 350 for an hour. The next day I cooked rice in the pot to help strengthen the clay. I’m Indian and know how to cook in unglazed terracotta.This isn’t quality terracotta. It is gritty and has tiny pieces of rock ground together. I’m thoroughly disappointed!I hope this review helps someone make an informed decision! ## Frequently Bought Together - Hakan Efes Clay Pot with Cover, JUMBO 5.7 Quarts Clay Pot for Cooking, Unglazed Twice Baked Terracotta Traditional Moroccan Roaster Casserole for Stovetop, Earthenware with Lid, 182.6 oz (5.4 L) - Hakan Suphan Handmade 7.6-Quart Large Clay Cooking Pot with Lid, Natural Unglazed Cookware, Terracotta Cazuela, Casserole Dish, Rice Cooking, Stewpot, Korean, Indian, Mexican Dish 7.2 L - Hakan Natural & Handmade 14 in, 3.6 qts Terracotta Pan for Cooking | Authentic Clay Pan, Cazuela Dish, Ancient Mexican Clay Cookware, Earthenware Mud, Pottery Kitchenware, Midi --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/314420055-hakan-efes-clay-pot-with-lid-clay-pot-for-cooking](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/314420055-hakan-efes-clay-pot-with-lid-clay-pot-for-cooking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
