      Consider Asian shops if the exact style doesn’t matter to you, plenty of clay hot pot dishes exist

        The asian ones are made a bit differently, and are a lot thicker. They also have glazed insides, which is different from the Schlemmertopf. I have one of these too, but it’s used very differently.

        There’s another brand called the Romertopf which is very like the Schlemmertopf but a different shape. Used the same way though. Both are very much worth the $$$ imo.

          Good to know. I was taking a semi wild guess. Saw plenty of terracotta plant pot breads as a kid

            Those are pretty yum too, more like the unglazed Schlemmertopf but again, much much thicker. Excellent for bread but you can’t cook a chook in them.

              Well no, perhaps a batch of quail. But then you’d need to do it sideways and salt dough the ends…
