Unglazed clay pots have been used for thousands of years, I have one myself. You soak it in water for 15 minutes before putting the food in.

You are right that unglazed pottery had been used for many thousands of years, before glazing was invented.

The information about soaking is interesting.

I was not aware of it, because there are many countries were unglazed pottery is no longer used, at least I have never seen any of it used for food contact, but only for different purposes.
