Eden Home La Chamba Cookware – Review + Giveaway

Closed
There’s more to organic than milk and hemp clothing. When I browsed through the selection at Eden Home, I was amazed as to how much more. It’s quite impressive, actually. Did you know that you can buy new products made with recycled glassware? I’d heard of repurposing old windows, but I never knew that it was possible to melt the material and make it into something completely new.

I’m always drawn to products that are made with human hands, like the La Chamba cookware available at Eden Home. Other than the hand-made factor, I love the symbology of fish and my house is decorated to reflect that. So when I saw the Fish-Shaped Casserole Dish with Lid, I leapt for joy.

The casserole dish is made from black clay indigenous to central Columbia. The same clay has been found on archaeological sites in the form of vases and pitchers that have dated back at least 700 years. Each dish has its own unique qualities and details, because they are made by hand and not on a potter’s wheel. You’d think that this would be something to display in a museum, not cook with, but La Chamba cookware is incredibly versatile. It can go in the in the oven, on your stove, and even in the microwave.

What I love the most about this dish is that there are no glazes used on the lead-free clay, and therefore no toxins being leached into my food. You can never preheat an oven before placing your dish there and you can never shock it with a freezing temperature after it is hot. The clay must warm and cool gradually to avoid cracking.

This is truly one-stop shopping at Eden Home . You can buy natural food, clothing, housewares and more – all in one convenient place.

BUY IT! I definitely recommend shopping with Eden Home; It was a great experience overall and I love the casserole dish.
