What is clay cookware and why do people use it?

Clay cookware is made from natural clay and used for cooking, baking and serving food. People like it because it is chemical-free, cooks food gently and can improve flavour and aroma.

Is clay cookware safe for everyday cooking?

Yes, good quality clay cookware made from food-safe, lead-free clay is safe for daily use. It does not release toxic chemicals into your food like some low-quality metal or non-stick coatings can.

How do I prepare a new clay pot before first use?

Before first use, soak the new clay pot in clean water for a few hours so the clay can absorb moisture. After that, cook a simple dish like plain rice or daal on low heat once and discard it; this helps season the pot and make it stronger.

On which stoves and in which ways can I use clay cookware?

Clay pots are best used on gas stoves on low to medium flame for slow, gentle cooking. Many clay pots can also be used in the oven at moderate temperature, but sudden high heat or quick temperature changes should always be avoided.

How should I clean and care for clay cookware?

Let the pot cool down completely, then wash it with warm water and a soft scrubber. Avoid harsh detergents and metal scrubbers; if you use soap, choose a mild, fragrance-free one in a small amount and rinse very well.

What should I do if my clay pot cracks or breaks?

Small hairline cracks can sometimes be managed by gentle use and proper seasoning. If the pot is deeply cracked or broken, it should not be used on direct heat and is better kept only for dry storage or decoration.

Our Story

Our journey started with a simple question:
Why did our grandparents food always taste better?

It was not only their recipes, it was also their clay pots.
Today, most homes use non‑stick and chemical‑coated cookware. We wanted to give people a better option.

Hamari Mitti was created to make it easy for anyone in Pakistan to buy good quality clay cookware. We design products that are natural, safe, and practical for daily use.

Meet the Founder & Co-Founder

“Assalamualaikum,

My name is Muhammad Umar Naeem, and I am the founder of Hamari Mitti. I started Hamari Mitti after learning how harmful some non‑stick and chemical cookware can be. When I tried cooking in a simple clay pot, I noticed a clear difference in taste and feel.

I wanted to share this experience with more people in Pakistan.

Together with my co‑founder Huzaifa, we built Hamari Mitti to make good quality clay cookware easy to find and easy to use in everyday life. Through Hamari Mitti, our aim is to offer clay cookware that is safe, good‑looking, and practical for daily cooking. Your trust is the most important part of this brand.”
