From the Andes of Colombia comes the unique, versatile and organic traditional La Chamba cookware. The origins of this cookware can be traced back over 700 years to vases and pitchers found in archeological sites.

Unlike most other ceramic cookware, La Chamba has a natural clay glaze rather than a vitreous glaze. The porous nature of La Chamba is a distinctive characteristic allowing the cookware to retain heat and enhance food flavours. Pots are also ideal for serving food and even eating from directly.

Whatever your cooking style, La Chamba will be a pleasure to use and offers years of cooking and serving enjoyment.

Prior to first use: Thoroughly clean with mild detergent to remove any residue that may be present from the firing process. Fill each piece 3⁄4 full with water and place in the oven for 30 minutes at 200oC. This process allows La Chamba items to seal. However, due to the porous nature of the cookware, a complete seal is sometimes achieved only after items have been used several times for cooking.

Use: La Chamba cookware is safe for use on the stove, in the oven, microwave and under the grill. La Chamba cookware can be used over direct heat-gas, on the barbeque and even an open flame. Wooden utensils are recommended.
