Delightful Claypot Chicken Rice

Cooking in claypots has a long history, dating back thousands of years ago — claypot dishes are traditionally prepared atop a charcoal stove to impart smoky flavours to it. Claypots are the equivalent of an electric slow cooker for people living in societies before the invention of modern kitchen appliances. Despite the fact that claypots are heavier and have a smaller volume as compared to electric cookers, they are still widely used today. Cooking in claypot elevates the taste of a dish because clay is a porous material that enables dishes to absorb the flavours of condiments and sauces more thoroughly — making it a good cooking method for dishes like claypot chicken rice and claypot noodles.
