Where to find lead free clay pots? Or the next best thing?

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone here had a reliable way to find clay/terracotta pots online or in the Los Angeles area for making soups and stew - mainly because I heard it adds an earthy and more robust flavor (I also understand that that's a very specific thing to want from soup and may not justify the purchase) . But i read things online saying that a lot of clay pots still have a glaze on them that contains lead, so that's obviously a no go. The second part of my question would be - what could a decent way to get that earthy , more full bodied flavor for soups and stews without a clay pot? A good amount of fresh bay leaves? Cumin? Mole’? I heard somewhere that when cooking or baking in clay pots that the pre soak helps retain moisture throughout cooking, so would putting a coffee mug in the oven with ceramic Dutch oven on a lower temperature give me a similar result? And finally whats a good pot that evenly distributes heat through cooking on stove and oven just in general.

Thank y'all so much

Man I just book a flight in 2 days because the price was really good and I get to spend more time on this vacation with my girlfriend and mom but holy fuck am I nervous. I was supposed to take an amtrack back but my girlfriend was so sad that I was leaving the day before her day off and here I am now 🤷

I've been scared of flying for a few years and last year my anxiety got so bad I cancelled a flight. Last week I got on the plane to come to Texas, I was crying on the phone bc I was so scared. My flight was fine. The two flights I took a few months ago were both fine. Every flight I've ever taken was fine. Why am I so scared???? The worst part is the night before and the day of. Breathing exercises don't really help but if anyone just has some reassuring flight safety facts, id appreciate it. Im going to drink before I get to the airport and on the plane and everything will be fine

I've been looking into buying the dosing capsules from somewhere other than the potv website, but I'm having a hard time. Does anyone know another name for the capsules or a website where to get them CHEAPER? Please

So in the last 2 years Ive booked 3 flights, all between. Houston and Los Angeles. About a week to a week and a half before my flight there is always an aviation crash.

Last time was the ups plane in Kentucky and unfortunately I did cancel that flight due to fear ,and I don't remember the crash specifically before that but I did notice a pattern...

And there's been 3 crashes in the last week. One happening today in Los Angeles with a b-52, ... My flight leaves next Monday from Los Angeles....

​

Does anyone have some advice or an ancedote or literally anything to help me not see signs? I've picked up some useful tips here so far but this one is really bugging me and my anxiety is going to go crazy at some point

Thank you
