Make a CLAY COOKING POT and Use It

In this video I show the whole process of creating an unglazed clay cooking pot from a raw lump of clay to the finished, fired pot. Then I use that pot to cook on my kitchen stove, showing how to make a cooking pot but also that a primitive, unglazed pot can be used for cooking and eating food. Think outside of the box, move beyond glaze. Our ancestors cooked in unglazed clay pottery and millions of people still do.

Yes! Thank you! This is what I'm here for...cooking pots and usable items. If I'm going to put in all this work, making a kiln, finding clay (thankfully, extremely easy here on the South Canadian River in Oklahoma), making and firing said item, I want to be able to use the darn thing for more than a pretty on a shelf. ;-) I'm excited about it though, regardless!

We went for a walk yesterday and i grabbed a couple bags of 'dirt' (more sand than anything but im not done collecting) and have a mental list of how and what i can use for a kiln, whether it be a pit or 55 gallon barrel or what. Ive learned to take my time, use what i already have and ruminate on things in my old age - things go a lot easier that way!😄

Earthenware is just as good as any other material used for cooking in. In fact, you can use an earthenware bowl that you might use to eat out of, as a vessel for the stovetop in an open fire or even in a oven, so long as you place it in the oven before you heat it up, that is the only thing you need to do when baking in earthenware. Otherwise you could shock the vessel and it may break. Another thing the ancients used for cooking is a Cob oven and I'd love to have one in my backyard so I can cook in it and keep my house cool in the summer. Making bread in a cob oven in earthenware bread pans would be nice but would take a bit of time to learn how hot to keep it and ho long to cook things in it. Cob ovens are a great way to keep your home cool but still have hot food to eat in the summer. In fact a Cob oven would be good for a local community as they were used by many people all at once and they would just keep track of their own vessel and the oven had heat enough to spare for everyone to use for cooking!

Sure fatty foods might go rancid, or cooking meats and other proteins might allow the vessel to grow some bacteria.

My little one is like it's metal counterpart with hollow handle & conical lid with opening at top just like tagine except body is more like regular pot.

Hey, its so good to see your techniques!! Learnt a lot by your videos 🙏 just one question, why you used a spoon as a stencil while cutting the lid,( to make little round at one point)

@AncientPottery Год назад

Because a lid like this will only fit correctly in one position. So by making a notch you can always line the lid up so it fits. The spoon just made sure it was cut nice and even

I actually think the shoulder acts like a nice detail. Maybe needs to be refined but it was appealing

@mikekaplan7461 Год назад

Wow! I’m not a potter but you look like you got some real skills. I have one question. Any chance that your clay has any toxins?

@AncientPottery Год назад

Doubtful

I came across this channel via the "Olla", this is fascinating...where do you get your Clay at. Here in Kentucky we have Clay dirt, is that well suited for making the Clay for these pots?

I collect and process my clay from nature. Here is one way of doing that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u6RlHSG4cY4.html

Hey Andy, How much should be the thickness of the base of the pot to prevent any chance of cracking?

Thanks

Wow that's quite faster than I'm used to for split peas. It can sometimes take more than 3 hrs to cook. I wonder if the rounded shape has anything to do with it or is it some other factor?

@AncientPottery 2 года назад

I don't know I just followed the recipe.

Hi Andy. I don't know if anybody else asked this question (too many comments for me to read them all). I was wondering why you didn't like the shoulder from the puki. Was it just the look of it or does it affect the pot in other ways? I thought it might be quite practical to have it for more grip when lifting it.

@AncientPottery Год назад

You could leave it if you want, I just like the pot to appear smooth and even all the way up. On the other hand some handles would have been useful on this pot.

Good Morning Andy! This is the video I’ve been longing for!😃 I would like your viewpoint on what clays I could purchase to make such pots and utensils? Thank You in advance! Have a great day! From Florida today!

@AncientPottery 2 года назад

Thanks Terry I’m glad you enjoyed this video. As you probably know I have little experience with commercial clays. I am told by a friend the New Mexico Clay SuperSculpt is really good for this type of hand building. If I was going to fire it in a primitive firing then I would add some more temper. I’m planning a video in which I compare different commercial clays for hand building and outdoor firing to see how they do.

Wow, that is one nice bowl. You sell them?

@AncientPottery 2 года назад

Sometimes, although I am keeping this pot for future cooking episodes. Check out my website at AncientPottery.how to see the pottery I have for sale.

@altintas1 11 месяцев назад

hello sir. thanks for video. I have a question. how many min you cooked the clay?

@thebandplayedon..6145 Год назад

Hi, that was great, is there a reason the stove pot wasn't also fired outside? I don't have a kiln. This renewed a 30yr old love of playing with clay. And, I happen to have a huge pile to work with. Bought as a load of garden soil... totally ripped off, it's pure red clay, like it's never even been beside soil, let alone passable as garden soil! Anyway excited to find something to do with it, it's half a dump truck load. Haha. Going to make a whack of pots I guess. lol

@AncientPottery Год назад

I don't know what you mean by "stove pot". There was only one pot made here and it was the cooking pot which was fired outside.

@jimfitzgibbon5492 Год назад

Two questions Andy. Did you fire the pot with the lid on? Also how long did you fire the pot, before shutting down your kiln to cool?

@AncientPottery Год назад

Yes, in a low-temperature earthenware firing like this there is no chance for the lid to melt or stick so it is easiest to fire it in place. The total firing time was maybe a couple hours total, I ran it up to my desired temperature (about 850 C) then I just let it cool until it could be handled and removed.
