Manchatty – Black Clay Cooking Pot with Upper Handle

Experience the perfect blend of tradition, health, and convenience with the Manchatty, a traditional black clay cooking pot designed for slow-cooked dishes like curries, gravies, dals, and biryanis. The upper handle ensures safe and effortless handling, making it ideal for modern, mindful cooking.

Health & Benefits

• Nutrient Preservation: Porous clay circulates heat and moisture evenly, retaining up to 97% of food’s vitamins and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, and sulfur.

• Natural pH Neutralizer: Alkaline clay balances acidic ingredients like tomatoes or tamarind, producing healthier and more digestible meals.

• Less Oil Required: Slow cooking retains natural moisture and oils, reducing the need for added fats and supporting heart health and weight management.

• Chemical-Free & Safe: Made from authentic, unglazed black clay, free from toxins, heavy metals, or synthetic coatings like lead or PTFE.

Lifestyle & Cozy Appeal

• Earthy Flavor & Aroma: Imparts a subtle, natural earthy aroma and enhanced taste that metal cookware cannot replicate, evoking traditional culinary charm.

• Mindful Cooking: Low-to-medium heat cooking encourages a deliberate, thoughtful, and relaxing approach to meal preparation.

• Traditional Aesthetic: The rustic black finish (from a double-firing process) adds elegance to the kitchen and allows for cook-and-serve presentation.

Easiness & Advanced Use Tips

• Upper Handle for Convenience: Provides better grip, balance, and leverage, making it safer to carry hot dishes from stove to table.

• Versatile Cooking: Suitable for curries, dals, biryanis, stews, and shallow stir-frying.

• Easy Cleaning: Double-fired clay is relatively non-porous; clean with hot water and a mild scrubber. Avoid harsh detergents or dishwashers.

• Heat Source Adaptability: Works on gas stoves, open flames, and microwaves (if manufacturer-approved). Not compatible with induction cooktops.

Bring home the Manchatty – a timeless, eco-friendly, and health-conscious cooking companion that combines authentic flavors, mindful cooking, and modern convenience.
