WHY COOK WITH CLAY?
ONE OF THE OLDEST COOKING MATERIALS. STILL ONE OF THE BEST.
Long before stainless steel pans, non-stick coatings and electric appliances, people cooked with clay.
There is a good reason why this ancient material is still used in kitchens around the world today.
Clay stores heat, releases it gradually and works beautifully for slow, enclosed cooking. Combined with the Bricknic Cooking Brick's lid, it creates a simple cooking environment where heat, steam and flavour stay close to your ingredients.
Natural material. Simple cooking. Great food.
GENTLE, EVEN HEAT
One of the greatest qualities of ceramic is the way it handles heat.
Instead of reacting instantly to changes in temperature like thin metal cookware, the substantial ceramic body absorbs heat and gradually transfers it to your food.
This thermal mass helps create a stable cooking environment, making the Cooking Brick especially suited to baking, roasting, steaming and slow cooking.
KEEP THE MOISTURE INSIDE
Put the lid on and something important happens.
As your ingredients heat up, moisture is released and turns into steam. The enclosed Cooking Brick helps keep much of that moisture circulating around the food instead of allowing it to immediately escape.
This makes it possible to prepare wonderfully juicy vegetables, tender dishes, rice, bread and much more, often with very little additional liquid.
Your ingredients help create their own cooking environment.
KEEP FLAVOUR WHERE IT BELONGS
Steam carries aroma.
In an open pan, much of that steam simply disappears into your kitchen. Inside a closed Cooking Brick, moisture and aromas remain around your ingredients for longer.
Herbs, spices, vegetables and other ingredients cook together in one enclosed space, allowing their flavours to develop and combine.
Open the lid at the table and you will immediately understand the difference.
FROM SLOW COOKING TO HIGH HEAT
Clay cooking does not mean you are limited to one technique.
Bake a loaf of bread. Roast vegetables. Prepare potatoes. Cook rice. Make a curry, gratin, pasta dish or dessert.
The Cooking Brick can be used in the oven, on the barbecue and over an open fire, giving one simple ceramic vessel an enormous range of possibilities.
NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL
There is something special about cooking in clay.
It feels warm, tactile and honest. Every Cooking Brick has the natural character of a ceramic product, with subtle variations that make each piece individual.
And unlike cookware that you want to hide after cooking, a Bricknic is designed to go directly from the heat source to the table.
Cook in it. Serve from it. Share from it.
LESS EQUIPMENT. MORE POSSIBILITIES.
Good cooking does not have to require a kitchen full of appliances.
The same Cooking Brick can replace different pieces of cookware depending on what you are preparing. It can be a baking vessel today, a roasting dish tomorrow and an outdoor cooking pot at the weekend.
That simplicity is central to Bricknic.
One brick. Endless cooking possibilities.
MADE FOR INDOORS AND OUTDOORS
Clay and fire have belonged together for thousands of years.
Bricknic brings that relationship into modern cooking.
Use your Cooking Brick in your kitchen oven, take it to the barbecue or gather around an outdoor fire. The cooking principle remains beautifully simple: ingredients inside, lid on, add heat and give it time.
No electricity. No electronics. No complicated mechanisms.
Just clay, heat and food.
COOK. SERVE. SHARE.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of cooking with clay is not technical at all.
It changes the experience.
Instead of preparing everything in separate pans and transferring the food before serving, the Cooking Brick can become part of the table itself.
Put several bricks in the middle. Open the lids. Share different dishes. Let everyone taste.
Because Bricknic was never designed only to cook food.
It was designed to bring people together around it.
