Faulty useless pot - No response from owner!
I ordered the big pot which costs $179. Followed all instructions carefully and the pot leaks. Haven't been able to cook ANYTHING in this pot. Useless item! I contacted Miriam, she gave me some tips which I also followed carefully, but still nothing worked. I sent her another email to let her know that none of the tips/tricks or instructions are working on this expensive pot, she simply never responded. Now I'm stuck with a useless expensive pot. Not sure where are all these positive reviews coming from, but perhaps I had received a faulty pot that should've been replaced, but that never happened. Buy at your own risk!

Expect the unexpected
Review Content: What after 50 years of cooking and now I find the best way to cook! 20 years to go with Miriams cookware for the rest of my days because the food tastes twice as good. What happened is I bought this pot to cook meat in it and was told to season it first by cooking rice, lentils, quinoa etc first before cooking the meat so I did and was not even really planning on eating the rice I cooked and then looked at it and thought that looks better than ever and tasted it and wow give me a break it was the best rice I have ever cooked but how to take credit for adding water to rice and setting to oven temperature. So now this pot is not for meat it is for vegetables and everything else including meat. BTW I did cook the meat and just like the other foods I cooked in this pot turned out more real somehow I could taste more tastes and different tastes. I cannot explain it in words but the food is somehow more real and pasta is now something not to just eat but savor each bite. If you do not have one of these pots you have to get one for the excitement of spending time in the kitchen. Out of 25 different cooking devices in my kitchen that are all top of the line this pot is now #1 without any hesitation I will say. So happy my other chemically infused ceramic pot cracked so I made this fantastic discovery. I hope you are as happy as I am with the beauty of the pot also you will not want to put it away but rather keep it in site day dreaming of your next meal you are going to get to enjoy.

The quality of the cookware is OUTSTANDING.
The quality of the cookware is excellent and the food definitely tastes better than cooking with stainless steel. I did not realize that chemicals leech from the steel, so cooking with an all natural product is the best way to go. It is also great that the cookware is MADE in the USA. You know your a getting a well-made product and helping Miriam provide good jobs in her area.

Love the MEC sprouting pot
Love the MEC sprouting pot. Have NEVER had sprouts as fast and without fuss and I need lots of sprouts to feed chickens. It also makes me happy to know that extra TLC will go into the sprouts thanks to Miriam's clay. I've also been astonished by the way the MECs have kept citrus fresh. Wasn't prepared for that. Thank you so much, Miriam, from the chickens and me. Elizabeth

Love using my pots
Love using my pots! The food tastes awesome just like they say it's going to. It does absolutely require a learning curve, including low temperatures and putting oil in at the end of cooking instead of the beginning. Great customer service, I've been really happy with everything so far.

I love cooking in the clay pots my husband bought for us. At first I was skeptical 🤨 but after cooking some kale, spinach and Swiss chard, I was SOLD!!! The pan was awesome 🙌. The greens turned out perfectly cooked and the green color stayed👌. Just last night I made a quick soup that had some sweet potatoes... I was shocked at how much they retained the flavor. I used to always have to bake them but wow! Wow they were too yummy and mind you, they were in a veggie broth. I highly recommend clay pots to everyone and it's my new gospel lol.

Joy, joy, joy, joy Down in my soul! Cooking With Clay is the way to go
Miriam's Earthen Cookware is a company I have been investigating personally and testing for the past two years. I have to say, not only have I been blown away with every test and evaluation but so has my wife and everyone else that has eaten the food or seen the product.In fact, I love them so much I went and became a fanboy and started a YouTube channel called Cooking With Clay that I now need to populate with content. I would be happy to speak with anybody with questions or concerns and share my experience. MEC has permission to put me on a three way call or email etc because I truly want others to experience the benefits and joy of this type of cooking.I am unaffiliated, unpaid, all that stuff. I pay for my clay and I don't receive any financial compensation ever. I'm doing it because they're a great small business with a great product and I support it. About the clay: I have a X Large pot, Medium Pot, and Large Pan. I recently went on a month long road trip with JUST a medium pot and it was a trooper. We've been using it so much it has become hyper efficient at cooking. It is a whole new style of cooking to adapt to, but it is such a joy to master and the process is fun. You've never seen greens cook and still come out as green as they do in a clay pot! Far infrared heat is amazing. Wooden spoon, clay pot, warm flame... ahhhh the bare necessities and the best foods.-Thanks so much for providing something so hard to find and such a high quality product , Much love from Texas - CarmeloI would urge anyone looking for the ultimate in cookware or just some cookware with natural mojo and flair to look into the health benefits of cooking this way. Take a year or two of slowly adapting to these so your learning curve doesn't get the best of you. Two years later we are doing 95%+ of our cooking in MEC.A little background... my wife and I consume whole food plant based diet and are unable to eat in restaurants. We do all of our meals at home and pretty much all of that in MEC. It pulls toxins out of non organics and is gentler on the nutrients in the organics. It is really great for flavor, and it keeps everything you need in the food as intact as possible. The membrane breaths and there is more wonder in a clay pot than I can possibly type out here.

THE BEST NON TOXIC COOKWARE!
I have been detoxing my kitchen switching to non-toxic cookware, bakeware, glassware, etc... Originally I switched to mostly cast iron based upon my initial research and recommendations from other people. But I was still skeptical about the cast iron since I was using it multiple times of day....I was worried about the amount of inorganic iron leaching into our food. Then by chance, on my research marathon again, I stumbled upon Miriam's Earthen Cookware....the best thing I ever did. I only have one pot so far, but use it for almost everything and love it! I love that it is completely non toxic and the food tastes amazing! This is the best non toxic cookware and I sleep better at night knowing that no chemicals are leaching into our food. I love that I am cooking healthy for my family. You must try this cookware....it will change your life!

If only my wallet and I had known about…
If only my wallet and I had known about Miriam's Earthen Cookware before. Before I bought into the myth of and indeed bought a titanium cookware set. First, don’t be misled, titanium still will react and leach into the food you cook with it. Second, not only is Miriam's Earthen Cookware truly a healthy cookware, by comparison to titanium (I paid nearly $450 for my titanium soup pot) it’s an affordable healthy cookware. Seriously, if you’ve stumbled upon Miriam's Earthen Cookware in your searching… stop! You’ve found what you’re looking for!

Great Customer Service; Love My Beautiful Nontoxic Pots
I bought two "seconds" pots. Because of that, they were not made perfectly, but they functionally work great and I use one for making yoghurt and the other one ALL the time for perfect rice, soups, and many other dishes. Food cooked in clay tastes worlds better than cooked in metal to me. One pot came in broken from transit and MEC was super easy to work with about replacing it for free. The only negative is the knob of one of the pots snapped off when I was washing it a month ago. I don't think it was made as well being a second and maybe I was holding it too tightly. Lucky for me I'd saved the lid off the broken pot, so I have a backup. :) I suggest you be very careful with your knobs if you get seconds. Over all, the pots are absolutely wonderful. I was looking for high quality non-toxic cookware and these fit the bill. They are very easy to clean and I've not had much issue with food sticking.Make sure you season them properly before using. A lady who used clay all her life also advised me to soak or at least run the pot full of water before each use to prevent it from cracking. I plug my sink and fill it with an inch or so of water and then fill the pot and turn the lid upside down and let the whole think soak a few minutes while I gather ingredients. I don't know if that has helped, but both pots are holding up nicely. They look beautiful sitting in my kitchen to boot! I look forward to getting more MEC pots in the future.

I have been using these mec pots sice …
I have been using these mec pots sice from around 3-4yrs now. Initially it was a challenge cooking in these pots because it was totally new concept for me and I broke few of the pots but as the time went pots became very strong and cooking in them as easy as cooking in regular metal cookware. Definitely cooking time is a bit longer as when compared to the metal cookware but the taste n flavour you get from cooking in these pots is so good that it just cannot be compared .I have personally seen and have been experiencing the health benefits from using these pots I can definitely say that my resistance power has been increasing gradually through the years. Pros: 1) definitely 100% tasty healthy and flavour full food each and every time.2) once it seasoned and used with little care it can be lasting for years. I have been using my rice pot for more than three years. I cook twice a day in the same pot.3) cleaning is not at all hard just after cooking we have to leave the pot till it cools down and then we have to soak it for about 5 min or so that's it you can clean it right way with out any hard work .4) once pot got seasoned nicely it doesn't take much oil for cooking. 5) makes perfect brownrice, hand pounded rice.Cons: 1) initially don't go for preparing any kind of curries or deep fries in it as it will absorb lot of oil n pot may break. Just use it for cooking brown rice or soups or lentils or dals till the pot gets seasoned nicely.2) bit more time taking than regular cookware.I have been using mec pots n refered these mec cookware to many of my friends.

I bought three different pots based on a recommendation from a friend and I haven’t been disappointed. The pots make beautiful brown rice and oatmeal. Chicken breast, even without a marinade comes out so juicy and tender. These pots are unique and I plan to use them for years to come.

THE BEST non-toxic cookwear!
I searched high and low for the best non- toxic cookware for our family. I was surprised myself to stumble on clay as an option. However as I delve into the research many had glazed that contained lead and other materials I definitely did not want seeping into our food. I then stumbled on to Miriam’s Earthen Cookwear and ordered immediately. Many years later I am still thrilled I did! The pots and tangible have held up as promised, every time I cook with them I feel connected to the organic way in which our family chooses to live, I am certain my children are not getting any chemicals leeching into their food and did I mention EVERYTHING tastes better in clay! I couldn’t be happier with our purchase!
