So happy with my Miriams Earthen Cookware!!I have had a lot of fun trying out new recipes in it.Not only does it look beautiful sitting on my stove but I love the peace of mind in knowing the food I am cooking will retain nutrients and not absorb any toxins from the cookware. I have made rice, oatmeal, steamed veggies, chickpea curry and poached apples so far - made everything tastes extra amazing + nourishing when cooked in the clay! So excited to do my holiday baking with it! Thank you MEC for being such an amazing company/resource for clean living!

My mom has been an MEC customer for years now and she never even looks at any other cookware ever since. The quality of cookware and their customer service is exemplary. Wish you the best!- Pragati

I enjoy cooking with Miriam’s Earthen Cookware. First, it gently steams the food and does not overcook it. I especially like making bone broth. Even the poultry bones produce a gelatinous broth! In other cookware, the poultry bone broth is liquid and runny. Great is the time it takes, only 3 to 4 hours instead of 12 to 24! I recommend Miriam’s Earthen Cookware! Irene W., Orlando, FL

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 its my new gospel lol.

My family and I are so grateful we discovered Miriams Earthenware pots. We were looking for a way to cook bone broth and other slow cookery meals without the potentially harmful effects of lead and other chemicals in crock pots. Their cookware goes beyond my wildest expectations. Besides feeling confident about the safety and health benefits of cooking with clay cookware, the dishes are incredibly delicious and richer and the cooking time is greatly reduced. I love the recipes they have on their website and cant wait for a cookbook. The customer service is also amazing!

Miriams 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 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 dont receive any financial compensation ever. Im doing it because theyre 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. Weve 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. Youve never seen greens cook and still come out as green as they do in a clay pot! Far infrared heat is amazing.-Thanks so much for providing something so hard to find and such a high quality product, Much love from Texas - Carmelo

I love my clay pots! It feels good knowing there are no metals or chemicals leaching into my healthily cooked meals. I like the fact that no oil is required to cook... I just use a small layer of water. It is also nice that they can go in the oven or on the stove top. It did take me some time to perfect cooking with clay because it is very different than using metal pots. It literally changed my understanding of and approach to cooking. Totally worth it!

I was looking for something nontoxic to cook my grains in when I came across these clay pots online. Now I cook EVERYTHING in it! Soups, grains, meet, and veggies. Everything turns out great tasting n perfectly done. Wish I had been using them for years. Will b ordering more! Love love love it! If you call for customer service they are super friendly n helpful n she really cares about your experience with using the pots. 😊

I ordered a clay pot from Miriams Earthen Cookware several months ago. I was so excited to get it and am still excited to use it each time I cook with it. I love anything natural and handmade- cooking with a clay pot just feels right in many ways. It cooks my rice perfectly as well!Thanks for the great, simple and natural product!

Dirty pots was delivered broken and full of mold. do not buy

My earthen pot is by far my favorite piece of cookware. It is a relief to know Im preparing my babies food in something thats 100% non-toxic. I also enjoy throwing a bunch of healthy ingredients together and the delicious soup thats slow cooked through the day. I also take joy in knowing this was made in America. I highly recommend this product!

I truly love my pots they are strong my food has a true earthy flavor sometimes and I know that I am providing a metal free nutritious food to my children. As a mom of an autistic childMy daily focus is to provide the cleanest food possible to my son! Thank goodness for Miriam cookware! We love it!!!!

I would not have purchased the alternate line if I had known that crater-size holes are acceptable and fall under the description of shallow surface dents. They are NOT a shallow surface dent. Truthful descriptions are a necessity when ordering online. I guess this is why you dont have photos of the line. Who intentionally wants to buy a pot with a chunk missing?

Totally up for healthy mud pot cooking, this is the way to go. Appreciate Miriams commitment towards healthy cooking. Only issue i had was it cracks easily and weird replacement policy. Bought few pots, one of them cracked after few days, i was asked for $20 shipping for replacement. Doesnt stand direct gas stove heat.

In a day and age when it seems everything is fast, furious and full of toxins, Miriams Earthen Cookware is like a breath of fresh air. I was a little hesitant at first but the more I use it the better they are. I love cooking beans and rice in mine. Thank you Miriam for a best option for those of us who take the care of our bodies and families very seriously.

I love my MEC pots! Everything is so moist tender and delicious that I cook in it! Clean up is a breeze. I admit I was worried about clean up. But its a breeze to clean up. it also seems like the more you use the better it gets! I love that i dont have to worry about chemicals and toxins cooking into my food! Thanks Miriam for putting your heart and soul into these great pots!

I love my medium MEC pot! I use it solely for making yogurt..about 2 times a week. After reading the instructions on the website, it couldnt be easier to get in the habit of making each week. Its inexpensive and easy; I love not having bought store bought yogurt in over a year. I am so glad I discovered this company; Im interested in buying more pots for cooking all sorts of other food in the future.

Organic when possible√ NonGMO√ Avoid microwaves√ No Teflon√... Healthy cookware? I never thought of it! I thought I had it all covered. Miriam’s Earthen Cookware, based on all the research I did is not only at the top of their game, but seriously, try your favorite soup and yogurt recipe in their pots... Its so much tastier!

Ive been using my Miriams Earthen pure clay pot nearly daily for a couple months now and figured it was about time to write a review.First impressions:Because Im on the poor side of life I went with an Alternate Line pot I read the disclaimer of The imperfections could include but are not limited to shallow surface dents and lids that may not have a perfect close. but figured since you only saved 15% they probably only had a couple of this issues. Id be wrong my pot came with every single one of them plus a couple.The lid doesnt close very well (Not just not perfect but not really even close), dents in the side, a small pothole in the bottom, and more.Needless to say I was a bit dismayed when I first opened the package. With a deep sigh though I recognized I took the risk of buying a discounted product and had no right to complain and set to work seasoning my new pot. I had already read the seasoning instructions online and was ready to go as soon as it got in. Seasoning was a boring but necessary task. The next day I was cooking my first pot of sprouted brown rice. Which was amazing! The taste was entirely different then anything Id ever gotten cooking in stainless, glass, or ceramic. It was like rediscovering sprouted brown rice for the very first time.The long term impression:For the first week to follow I pretty much just used the pot to cook rice and quinoa. The next week I started getting more daring and cooking other things like soups and then everything which all turned out amazing. Though all with no small change to how I cooked things. Cooking in a pure clay pot requires both patience and attention. Not only dose it take a lot longer to get up to heat, once it dose it cooks fast.By the time I had owned my pot for three weeks I was using it to cook pretty much everything, the only time something doesnt get cooked in it is when Im making meals that require me to make things at the same time since I only own one pot, and due to price v income dont see myself able to get another for a quite a long time.Guest and their reactions:When guest see my pot they are mostly shocked by how it looks... the number of defects in this particular pot just makes most people cringe, especially when they ask me how much it cost after trying the food cooked in it and being amazed.The next thing is the smell, I personally really like the smell of this pot cooking and thankfully so dose my girlfriend (she says the smell reminds her of cookies). The point here is that cooking in a clay pot has changed the way my house smells a lot.Things to note:#1 - The lid doesnt close very well on my pot, this has never been an issue without having to do anything to fix it. I dont use a towel or anything like that. Its almost magical how well this pot cooks rice being so loss.#2 - Cleaning has always been quick and easy.Conclusion:I have found that pretty much everything taste better when cooked in a pure clay pot, and all the extra time and effort is well worth the investment. Well it may not be a good show piece to introduce others to pure clay cookware my pot has become the center piece of my kitchen and I am happy to highly recommend a pure clay pot to anyone who has time to cook.

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 Miriams 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!

Finally something absolutely healthy on the market. I use to love slow cookers but there was too much of lead leaking into my food. As longer there was a finished glazed, lead (it’s part of the glazed chemicals that EVERY ceramic company use) was leaking when the pot was hot. Most stainless steel pots that are made in China leak nickel and aluminum as well (go figure?!). Miriam cookware is AMAZING!! The food that I cook in the 3 pots I bought from her is delicious and absolutely healthy. On top of it Miriam have great warranty and great customer service.

Purchased an earthenware pot and the diffuser from Miriams and was really looking forward to using it, so followed all direction to cure it, but when I started to use it there was a very funny smell coming from the pot and the beans burnt at the bottom. It was nearly impossible to clean the burn, but we did. However it continued to burn food and smelled terrible every time we used it. I contacted Miriams with the problem, but the only response after insisting by sending two or three e-mail messages was to tell me that the diffuser was probably not compatible with my stove and that I had to buy a portable stove to use the pot. But they did not even mention this possibility when I purchased the pot and diffuser. So basically the only solution was to toss the pot. I feel that this company does not stand by their products because it seemed to me that the pot itself had a problem, but they would not offer to replace it.

If only my wallet and I had known about Miriams 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 Miriams 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 Miriams Earthen Cookware in your searching… stop! You’ve found what you’re looking for!

Ordered from Canada. The pot lid came broken, however customer service team took the necessary steps to ensure I would get a replacement. Have not used any of the products but very pleased with the customer service. Very excited to use these products. Have done lots of research and have not found anything comparable in North America. MANY thanks to Matilda who responded to my frantic emails. I would definitely recommend ordering from this site. :))

Great pots, great service. Grains really do taste better when cooked in these pots, with a lovely soft texture. There is a learning curve to them, as you only cook on low-medium heat. It took me a couple weeks before I could figure out how long and how hot things needed to cook. They also require more care than do stainless steel pots, but no more than cast iron. The company advises against the use of soap, and once the pot seasons food is fairly easy to remove with a little soaking. Over time the pot bottom blackens due to oxidation and the pot develops a darker patina.I used a medium-sized pot every day for 3+ months cooking rice, porridge, etc. before my pot developed a thin crack on the bottom (little pieces flaked off the edges of the lid as well due to constantly lifting and replacing it on the pot; I tried to prevent this but was never quite successful). The pot was still structurally sound, but it leaked slightly. The folks at Miriams Earthen Cookware told me that ovens with uneven heat can contribute to cracking. They sent me a free replacement under warranty (though I paid shipping). They advised me to avoid the oven in the future and offered instructions for how to attempt a repair of the old pot (which I havent tried yet).Time will tell if this new pot cracks, but its held up well so far. (And though its the same size as my old one, it has a slightly different shape: its squatter with a thicker rim and lid. They might have changed their process or each pot is simply unique.) I use it on an electric coil stove top with a diffuser, as instructed.I give the company full marks for their product and service. I will update this review if necessary as I continue to use my replacement.

Bought one for my mom, as a birthday present two years ago. It took her a little convincing to start using my it; but after I cured it, she was down with it.She tells me that its so great to cook a healthy meal with almost no oil, and that her meals cook rather quickly.Im so envious; I cant wait to get one myself!

I had been searching for cookware that was free of all Teflon, lead, aluminium etc and this hit the spot! I took me a while to learn how to cook with it to obtain the best results...the customer service I received was excellent. They were willing to answer any queries I had about something not being spot on. And I have made the BEST roast chicken, BEST steamed vegetables (so sweet and crunchy) and some awesome lentils and beans. It is true...it works like a pressure cooker so beans are cooked in record time and the more you use it the better it gets! Thank you MEC

If you can afford it, theres no reason we all shouldnt be supporting eco-friendly, health-conscious, made in America products that are founded/owned by women. MEC is one of a small number of such companies. On that basis alone, check out their store and order something as a conscious consumer!

I was invited over to a neighbors house recently for dinner & was enthralled with her cookware! She was cooking Vietnamese Clay Pot Chicken & I was impressed how well the food cooked in the clay pots! She used Miriams Earthen Cookware & suggested I look into getting some myself. My anniversary is coming up so I am hoping my husband will surprise me with a set so I can make some Vietnamese Clay Pot Chicken for myself!

After searching for non-toxic cookware, free of heavy metals I came across MEC (Miriams Earthen Cookware) which uses non-toxic clay sourced from the USA. The organic yogurt I am able to make using my MEC is amazing, easy and delicious! Its easy, just use coconut milk or organic milk and a little bit of yogurt starter. Also these pots are great for lentils, rice and can be used on the stove or in a rice cooker.

Great customer service, and am starting new adventures in cooking with clay pots! Food is tasting wonderful and very pleased with my purchase

Best cookware ever! So excited to finally have an all natural clay pot that I can cook bone broth in!

Miriams Earthen Cookware clay pots are hands-down the highest quality cookware that I have used. They are a pleasure to cook with and they will last a lifetime

I was really hopeful and bought 4 pots right away so I could stop using my pots with lead and nickel in them. I had trouble at first (because I hadnt read the instructions thoroughly) and was worried that I wasted a lot of money. But their customer service is AMAZING! They talked me through all my worries and fixed my problems! I just ordered a 5th pot and am so excited to be using such healthy cookware that cooks really well. And its fun to get back in touch with history by using clay pots; I feel connected to most of cooking history by sharing the experience of a clay pot. Thanks MEC!

One of the best decisions I made in my life was transitioning from non-stick cookware to the ancient material of pure natural clay cookware. The journey to get to this point using natural cookware consisted of reading, studying, research, and more research. I stumbled across Miriams Earthen Cookware online around September 2015.As someone who is extremely health conscious, plant based (vegan), an herbalist, holistic healing advocate, and truth seeker, the words on Miriams website that captured my attention was:Cooking with pure clay is as new as tomorrow and as old as time itself!After learning last summer about the toxicity from metal, aluminum, cast iron, non-stick, glazed, and all other cookware I knew I had to make a change. My main concern was lead, cadmium, and other contaminants leaching onto my food affecting my health. I hit a common roadblock many health conscious enthusiast meet as a result of intensive reading, searching for ways to improve their health. However, I knew like always Id be gifted with an answer somehow. Suddenly, I started to think about back home in Africa. I began asking myself what were we using thousands of years ago in the motherland? After a few google searches, reading many articles, the answer presented before me was CLAY POTS. I knew natural clay pots was the next step for me.I called Miriams Earthen Cookwares contact line posted on her website. One of the workers there picked up. I asked to speak with the owner Miriam, which was not an issue at all. I was happy about that. Miriam came on the phone with a very sweet warm greeting, immediately changing my initial perception of who she could be and how she would act. We ended up talking for 45 minutes or so, all my questions answered and making me comfortable enough to purchase the pots. I bought three items, one large pot, a medium pot, and large pan. It took less than two weeks for them to arrive and when it did the pots were beautifully presented and packaged well ensuring no damage was done to them during the long journey from the east coast. The cookware came with an instruction manual. I studied the detailed instructions on how to season the pots from the manual and on Miriams website. I read carefully so that I could avoid making any mistakes.After seasoning the pot. I decided to start with Quinoa oatmeal and it was one of the best tasting quinoa Ive ever made. The pots give the food so much flavor and life. I had no idea I was missing out all these years cooking with toxic nonstick pans and potsFrom the beauty, nostalgia, aroma, and taste of healthy food coming out of the pots, these were a great investment indeed. We dont use any other pots/pans now that we have these natural clay pots. Itd be foolish to do so honestly.So why are they the best cookware to use:1. Its not toxic like other cookware. Free of heavy metals, and synthetic polymers2. It retains all the food nutrients.3. They cook quickly on low heat4. While cooking water is not lost. Its sustained in the clay pot5. The food tastes better.6. Easy to clean. No soap needed. Just warm water, baking soda, and sponge/scrubber7. ALL NATURALI am running out of superlatives to say for this great cookware. Its amazing!May I add Miriam is a sweet, gentle lady, determined to provide healthier cooking options for everyone. Talking with her a number of times on the phone about healthy eating revealed to me her burning passion to give people alternatives to the destructive cookware most of us grew up with.Educate yourself on the toxic cookware in the kitchen you and your family currently use and think about switching over to what humans been using for thousands of years. For more info on how to get these natural clay pots in your kitchen go to Miriams Earthen Cookware website.

ItemsThey are fanstatic. I love them much and enjoy cooking. Having healthy cookware is such blessing for me. I love that the fact I can just put them in refrigerator(after cooled down). No more wrap or moving food to another container! It has some earthy taste which always remind me of when I was child.HOME. and food taste delicious and delicious. I dont think I can cook with other cookware anymore. Also I am noticing if I use MEC I do not eat too much. I think because I am more nurtured. My body is full, satisfy and happy with little amount of food. Body always speak the truth! Before MEC I was eating whatever in the fridge and still felt hungry. I would love to keep using them everyday.And I thanks Miriam and and people who created MEC. I feel much love.Customer ServiceI was not sure to write this but i wrote my experience. I asked few Questions because one of the pods seems to have bit of problem and when i asked bit further about this they are not returning reply anymore along with other questions and I felt like they are ignoring my message. I am not sure why. I know I have to pay for shipping which will probably cost me more then $100 in canadian if I need to replace or exchange. I wished I could talk about this them. I am having uncertainty if this problem which I personally not sure is ok with the cray pods.Other then unreturned message and bit of confusion I am very happy with items! I would definitely recommend and am planning to buy more when my family member increase!Ps. It has been a month but I havent got anything back from them yet.

Miriams earthen clay pots are the best cooking vessels I have ever used. I have tried pressure cookers, stainless, enameled pans, you name it, it has been on my stove top at one point or another. I even used a crock pot with a ceramic glazed insert to cook beans in. What is interesting, is that one day a few weeks ago, I just got tired of the metal taste I tasted every time I used my pots. So, I went looking for a clay pot by instinct and just happened to come to Miriams earthen cookware. On a hunch, without even reading her full site, I just bought one. When it arrived, I followed the seasoning directions and the next day, after letting it cure overnight, I cooked up my first meal. But it wasnt for me but my three golden retrievers. It consisted of lentils, sweet potatoes and carrots, and some ghee. Well, if dogs are a barometer, as their chow was cooking, the whole house filled with this lovely food aroma I have never smelled before. It smelled like FOOD. When serving time came, three tails were whipping around with delight. I put a little in a bowl for myself and fed the dogs. We all ate in silence, shocked at the quality of the food and no metal taste.Then, I went back to Miriams website to learn what she was about. And to put it simply, to make a new cooking pot, Miriam went back to ancient history, where all cooking vessels were made of clay. Metal is a modern invention and one that should never have been taken. Cooking spaghetti in an aluminum pot,... thats what my mother used to do. All completely idiotic and stupid, The denizens of making a buck, sold us all down the river for something that was horrible for our food and health. All those toxic metals, including aluminum, they go right into your food because heat is a catalyst and leaches the metals out.So, the first thing I did after eating my first small lentil meal, was to put my first metal pressure cooker up for sale. And all my Le Creuset cookware that I thought I was married to, it is gone. There is simply no comparison. The clay is healthy and the other pots are junk compared to the taste. And if you doubt it, go to her site and do the baking soda test of your metal cookware. The taste that comes out of these metal pots is nothing short of disgusting.So, if you want to save your health, and even your dogs health, cook in Miriams clay pots. Read her site. All the science is there.I will never cook in anything metal or enameled ever again. Miriams earthen cookware is simply the best cooking vessel in the world.Gunjan for Kit Raymond.

The purchase of my first MEC set was indeed a life changing experience for me and my family: a change towards a healthy, green way of living. I remembered my grandparents cooking in traditional classic earthenware---oooh! the aroma and taste..All these memories and more came back with MEC. Thank you MEC! You guys rock in my kitchen :D

BPD is the Pinnacle of professionalism, keep up the good work guys
