Where can I get something like this? It's a a 14 quart pot so it's bigger than it looks in picture. All I see in Nigeria are small fry pots with baskets. I need a big fry pot with basket.

I doubt If I have ever seen that in our local kitchenware markets.

Check my siggy

Most reliable and ever ready pot of all time.

I agree with you.. Plus the flavour it gives especially for ceremonies

Lol! Thanks for this.

But, I'm thinking the traditional west African cooking pots were made from clay as opposed to ceramics?

Was reading up the difference between both and it seems ceramic/porcelain are made using higher temperatures while clay pots are made using much lower temperatures.

Growing up as a child, we used those clay pots as flower pots but I'm keen to experiment cooking with them even though I've never tried it. I wonder if they can be used with a gas cooker or if it's strictly firewood?

Check out @ladyorganic on Instagram. She has this earthen pot that can function as a pressure cooker I think.....
She did sell to some pple
And they used it on gas cookers

This is a great post. I get lots of opinions I hadn't thought about. I love cooking on cast iron. I have an old set that has not been maintained well. I switched to ceramic cookware. I do like ceramic alot but once its worn out it is trash. I can't re-coat it! At least with the cast iron you can re-season it for ever.
