HOW TO SEASON A NEW UNGLAZED CLAY COOKING POT BEFORE FIRST USE | 4K UHD

Correctly season a new, unglazed clay cooking pot to last long and become stronger. Here are a few methods. You don't need to do all of them. Just follow the directions. After washing the pot and soaking the pot, boil some water or cook some coconut in it.
If you wish, you can go a step further and oil it to bake in the oven to strengthen the pot. The most important step is to soak the pot for several hours and then cook a little something in it. All the other steps are additional options and are not required to start using the pot.

Thank you for being so kind and patiently explaining this process.

Thank you! So many “sources” on the Internet say unglazed clay can’t be food safe and I recently got into pottery and I love the primitive unglazed look so now I know how to treat my next batch (if it ever stops raining long enough to dig a new bigger firing pit lol)

I loved this, I am starting to cook traditional Mexican food using their style of clay pottery. This video was great! Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial! There's so much competing advice out there that I couldn't figure out how to season my new clay pot, but I tried your method and it passed the water test perfectly.

A fine tutorial. I didn't know how to season a clay pot and make it ready for cooking. Now I know it.
Thank you.

It seems as if people have their own technique for seasoning, but I got down the basic principles, thank you for sharing.
I love your process of also oiling it on the outside as well as inside and using the oven.

6:50 this lady is so AMAZING! So is her grandmother! = the coccnut oil seasons the pot and still perforates the left over pores (after oil + oven) in the clay pot. Also choosing the cocconut oil that has low burning temp. for creating the protective layer seems super legit. The coconut oil will also leave its flavour on the clay pot, creating an unique super-neutral seasoning that might give flavor in further cooking processes of this particular clay pot.

Thank you so much for this great info! I just got a new Tagine yesterday and it’s been soaking all night. I’ll let it soak 24 to be safe after watching your video. Happy cooking to all of us cookers 🎉
You have a new subscriber today too🙂

The demo was so clear and the commentary was perfect. The music was incredible. Kudos to the sound engineer and camera man. Please send him to National Geo.. some of their sound engineers are deaf.

My mom used to make rasam or some dish that needed some seasoning in the clay pot to season it well. Specifically pots for making appas. In those days, we use fire wood. Even gas is fine but I have never tried clay chatis on electric. But you are very right about the thick bottoms and the thickness. Thank you for such a clear demonstration.
