We call this in Batangas as ” TAYA” oR ”PAGTATAYA” ..this is done to get rid of dirt or bacteria present on the claypots…’’sterilization” perhaps to avoid spoilage of food stored in a palayok… In Batangas we only use the ”black palayok” for cooking since it is more durable …with a smooth surface and is fit for cooking….

I was in Batangas yesterday with two school friends who are here for their 40th high school reunion (UP High, Manila). We had lunch at the residence of their relatives, the Hidalgos from Tanauan. Menu: sinaing na tulingan (sa palayok, 4hours); bulanglang (local string beans called “paayap”, with kalabasa & tomatoes, ginger; some crispy pork liempo. For dessert, there was sumang dapa with kalamayhati (coconut syrup) and biko (rice pudding). A very memorable meal indeed! I am sold on the idea of using the palayok.

” enjoyed your palayok post. It triggered warm childhood memories growing up. My sister and I love playing house and cook in our small “baby” palayoks in the backyard. I can still taste and smell the burnt rice and watery soup we made. Definitely nothing gourmet, but those were the best tasting rice and soup in my eyes. “… the same memories I had in the province!!! If you are in Bicol, TIWI., Albay is the place to buy palayoks and paso for the plants.
