<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TERRAPINS, post: 1045794, member: 12435&quot;]They&#039;re called &quot;palayok&quot; - clay pots from the Philippines.&nbsp; These are the classic shapes which are now difficult to find.&nbsp; Some places where they used to be sold in&nbsp; Manila was by Antipolo not too far from the &quot;Our Lady of Good Voyage&quot; church and in Sta. Cruz,&nbsp; by the bridge.&nbsp; The tall pot is usually used to cook rice,&nbsp; the squat one for soups,&nbsp; the one with a handle is used to fry things,&nbsp; the last one is a wood-burning stove.&nbsp; They come in all sizes.&nbsp; The ones you purchased look like toy sized pottery.&nbsp; There are full sized ones with the same capacities as your run of the mill metal cookware sets here in the States (3qt., 5 qt., 12&quot; frying pan).&nbsp; They impart a distinct abd very pleasant earthy scent to food cooked in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
