Product Description
Traditional soup or serving bowl with two handles. La Chamba cookware is made entirely by hand in Colombia. La Chamba dinnerware is perfect from the stove to the table. Each piece feels beautifully tactile, smooth and organic. No toxins are used in the production of this dinnerware, and the clay is also lead free.
Use and care instructions:
Suitable for the oven or stovetop (with electric stoves we recommend a heat diffuser on the stove top- it is not necessary with gas stoves) and microwave. Please allow to cool completely before moving from the oven/stovetop into the refrigerator.
We recommend avoiding any abrasive cleaners, and hand washing these unique pieces.
How these pieces are made:
The dinnerware is not glazed but burnished. After each piece is made it is coated with a fine red clay. The red clay is then rubbed with natural stones. After firing the red hot pieces are covered with rice husks and smoked. This part of the process is what changes the color from red to black. Small imperfections in the finish and flecks of minerals (mica) in the clay are due to the handmade process. The mica gives the cookware the ability to heat evenly and not crack under temperature changes.
