That Sunday Cooker: A Clay Pot That Cooks with Heart

Some meals aren’t just about hunger. They’re about memories. About slow Sundays when the kitchen smells like tadka, and time moves at the pace of bubbling dal.
Meet That Sunday Cooker — a handcrafted clay pot that doesn’t just cook your food, it nourishes your soul.

From the Wild to Your Table

In the dense forests of Pench, Madhya Pradesh, lies the remote village of Pachdhar, where generations of tribal potters still shape the earth by hand. Here, pottery is not just a craft; it’s a legacy. Every piece is molded with care, fired with love, and passed from one hand to another with deep respect for tradition.

That Sunday Cooker is born from this earth. Made using age-old techniques, it’s fired at 1200°C in a process that preserves the purity of the clay and the spirit of the artisan.

Why This Cooker Belongs in Every Kitchen

This isn’t fast cooking. This is flavor-first cooking.
That Sunday Cooker is made from 100% natural terracotta clay, with no chemicals, glazes, or artificial coatings. The clay’s porous nature allows slow, even heat to circulate, locking in moisture, nutrients, and taste.

  • Curries
  • Rice
  • Stews and broths

Care Instructions: Treat It Like a Family Heirloom

Each JAADU piece is handcrafted and fired with great care. Because of this, you might notice subtle changes in shape, color, or size. These aren’t flaws — they are marks of authenticity.

To season and care for your cooker:

  1. Soak the pot in water for 6–8 hours before first use
  2. Let it dry in the shade (not direct sunlight)
  3. Rub a thin layer of cooking oil inside the pot
  4. Slowly heat it on a low flame for about 30 minutes

Like you, your pot gets better with time.
