Forget cooking beans in a metal pot or even a crock pot. An "olla" is the only way to go for the most authentic tasting beans.
Traditional Olla
This clay pot is perfect for cooking pinto, black or any beans really. The more you cook with the pot, the more dimensional the flavors become. It is imported directly from Mexico and it is lead-free . The clay is glazed for a shiny appearance and some flowers have been added for decoration. It's a medium-sized pot perfect for the average kitchen and easy to store. In fact, when not in use, this olla looks lovely just sitting on the countertop. Put a few bags of beans inside the pot and it makes a great gift for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food.
