Cooks the food Slowly. The food cooked in earthen pots are high in iron, calcium, magnesium and sulfur which plays an important role for the well being of a human body. Cooking in earthen pots is a slow process and involves the use of a minimum amount of oil thereby helping in retaining food’s natural oil and moisture. Hence, it is highly recommended to use earthen pots while cooking as it has multiple benefits in keeping the body healthy and fit. Due to slow cooking, clay pots allow moisture and heat to circulate through the food, thus retaining the nutritional level. In metal utensils, this tends to get lost. When cooking meats especially, the thermal inertia helps the muscle proteins denature and collagen break down completely, hence keeping it tender for a longer duration. Clay pot’s porous nature allows both steam and heat to circulate through the food, which results in thorough yet aromatic cooked food.
