I bought this to replace my old bean pot I got from the market. I never really liked my old one because it smelled like paint and I was hoping in time it would go away. It did not. This pot has no smell at all.
Decided to just get this one anyway!
Wish I just got this one in the first place!
Yes, it will leak at first because the clay pores need to get clogged with minerals from the water and the food you cook. Just make a pot of beans and you’ll be good! It won’t leak anymore. Just start using it!
This pot completely changed my frijoles de olla game!!! I have been trying for years to get good flavored beans. There was something just missing!! This pot was the missing element. I use bean, water, half an onion and 4 cloves of garlic. Simmer for 4 hours and they are the best. Once they are done I take out the garlic and onions and salt to taste and they are so good!!! Thank you for making these pots!!
My spouse and I had been craving fresh cooked beans throughout this pandemic, and we only eat at home these days. We'd never successfully cooked beans on our own before, but we were hopeful, with this pot, we would be able to finally recreate the delicious frijoles de la olla that our parents made for us.
Finally, after talking about it for too long, we gave in and bought this pot.
It was a major success and a great purchase. We've been able to successfully produce fresh, delicious, nutritious cooked beans with this pot many times. However, it's best to use this with a heat diffuser to protect the pot and allow the heat to diffuse more evenly across the bottom of the pot.
I highly recommend this addition to your kitchen, if you like beans!
I love this pot. It cooks amazingly well in the oven and I don't even have to check the water in my beans--it is perfect. Why in the world would anyone knowingly cook beans on a burner over the stove? BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!! Talk about making your life easier--no more babysitting beans and cleaning up boil overs or trying to get scorched beans out of a pot. I worried about seasoning this pot on my glass top stove, but I just slowly kept increasing the heat. No problem. I will say that I called the customer service and put a recorded message on for them about seasoning my pot on a glass top stove and I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE from them.
