Hi all!
I found one of these old large clay baking pots with a lid at a flea market for a couple of dollars. I tried roasting a chicken in it, and it did come out nice and tender and juicy, though with a faint clay scent.
I've heard they are good for baking breads too? I've been experimenting some with breads lately (and I GOTTA get a sourdough starter going -- I so miss fresh sourdough bread!) but mostly I use a baking stone or iron skillet for that.
Anyone ever use one? I figured if I don't like it for cooking, I can always make two planters or a very cool container out of it.
Thanks!!!
