Re: [MacroloversofJerusalem] Re: ohsawa pors

[Guest guest]

whoops - I can cook but I can't spell obviously - that is meant to be

ohsawa pots.

I am sorry - I don't know if you can get them in Israel - you can't get

them here in Australia. I got one in the US years ago and love it. I

have used it so much - the bits where the string goes broke off ages

ago and the string - I used hemp rope to replace it broke many times -

but I still use it and love it. It has a whole different feel to

cooking any other way.

I have improvised and bought a clay pot with handles and use that - for

beans sometimes etc but it is not quite the same.

I just found this description online and remembered there was a

discussion on ohsawa pots here some time ago...
