Handmade Pots and Pans | Steamy Kitchen

by SteamyKitchen

I just started using the La Camba black clay cookware handmade in Colombia (you can see it in my Guinness Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe post) I’m in love with the color, the smoothness, the chubby shape.

From La Toque’s website : Black clay Chamba cookware is well-known throughout Colombia and is used in restaurants and homes for preparing and serving traditional dishes (such as a Ajiaco ). Its origins can be traced back at least 700 years to vases and pitchers found in pre-Columbian archaeological sites. It is still made in the traditional manner, by families in the village of La Chamba, on the banks of the Magdalena River in Central Colombia. Each piece is hand-crafted using local clays, burnished by hand and fired on-site. The painstaking process and natural materials give the dishes an authentic, distinctive and elegant look, yet Chamba is strong enough to use on the stovetop, oven or microwave.

Cookware stores experience surge in high-tech kitchen appliance sales

31.12.69

As consumer spending recovers from the recession, chain stores, including Macy's and Williams-Sonoma, are selling scores of specialty appliances from two-stage juicers and food dehydrators to high-tech teapots and baby-food-making systems. Chef Central in Paramus is experiencing a similar boom with increased sales for high-end juicers, blenders and specialty water ovens, according to owner Ron Eisenberg.

Small kitchen-appliance purchases jumped 10 percent to $5.51 billion in 2012, surpassing the 9.4 percent increase the previous year and growing at double the rate of the whole $18.3 billion small-appliance category, which includes the kitchen gadgets plus items like hair dryers and vacuum cleaners, according to NPD Group Inc., based in Port Washington, N.Y.

Driving the trend is Americans' growing desire to eat healthier and buy tools that help them prepare natural foods, said Debra Mednick, home industry analyst for NPD. Baby boomers have led the charge, she said.
