Yingjing Black Sand Clay Pot

The Yingjing Black Sand Clay Soup Pot is a traditional piece of cookware, hand-crafted in the Master Craftsman Workshop. Made from porous unglazed black clay, it reflects the cultural heritage of Yingjing.

Handmade with Natural Black Sand Clay

Each pot is handcrafted from natural black sand clay, a material known for its porous nature. This property allows the clay to absorb water and form a natural glaze when heated, which helps retain heat and moisture during cooking. It is suitable for slow-cooked soups and stews.

Usage Guide for First-Time Use

To prepare your new Yingjing Black Sand Pot for use, follow these steps:

• Rinse the pot with plain water—do not use detergent.
• Boil the pot with rice-washing water for 30 minutes on low heat to remove fine particles and any absorbed clay smell.
• Allow the pot to cool naturally for 1–3 hours before rinsing and drying.
• Repeat the boiling process 1–2 more times for optimal results.

These steps help maintain the natural pores of the clay and prepare the pot for regular use.

Care Instructions

To maintain your Yingjing Black Sand Pot, follow these care tips:

• Use only low heat (internal flame or 500–800W for induction cookers).
• Avoid using medium or high heat, as it may cause the pot base to crack or leak.
• Do not stir or scrape with hard tools or sharp utensils to protect the natural glaze.
• After cooking, let the pot cool naturally before rinsing with water.
• Clean heat stains with rice-washing water or mild dish soap after the pot has cooled.
• Do not use in dishwashers, ovens, or appliances other than stovetops and induction cookers.

Proper care will help ensure the pot remains functional and durable over time.
