Ancient CookwareTraditional Colombian Chamba Clay Soup Bowl, 24 Ounces

I purchased this to try to recreate some Arabic dishes I enjoyed overseas years ago. It is outstanding. It can be used on a gas stove top with no problems and keeps the food bubbling and hot well after it is served. Placed in the basket, the bowl can be carried from the stove to the table without a potholder. It cleans very, very easily. After curing, this bowl just wipes clean no matter how you've used it. It is much easier to clean up than cast iron.I'd like to replace all my wife's pots, pans, and bowls with La Chamba products.And they are lovely to handle and look at, too.

I grew up eating in these bowls. Great quality, thank you.

Nice versatile cooking utensil. I've used it on the stovetop and steamer it works well.The only problem is the seller left some stickers at the bottom of the bowlso if you don't remove it before place it on the stovetop it'll burn a little.My electric smooth cooking top was left with a burning residue that has to be removedwith baking soda and razor.This is more than a soup bowl, mind you. You could cook a full bowl of rice and meat with it.Nice.

Awesome bowls! Love the color and basket holders. No chips over past year, hold up well. Would have given 5 stars but these babies do get hot when heated in the microwave.

You know this is the real deal! I like the larger size bowls for all sorts of meals! I like the little baskets too. They secure the bowl nicely and protect hands from any excess heat! sturdy, heavy duty, really nice! They are a little pricy, along with all the black clay chamba-ware, but likely well worth it!

Really like the bowl. I used it over fondu fuel, cooked beautifully.Next time will buy one with the lid.

Authentic and aesthetically pleasingPros:1. retains heat well2. versatile - can be used in oven or on range top3. very well wrapped for transitCons:1. retains heat (easy to overcook, say, an egg soup, and might be hazardous to serve to a child)2. by its nature, it's very porous, and some foods will stick badly
