The artful curves of this terracotta cazuela add grace to any baked or roasted dish you wish to prepare. Whether cradling a Cordero Lechal (Roasted Suckling Lamb) on a bed of greens or hosting an unassuming, creamy rice pudding, this oval-shaped dish will take a proud place at your next feast.Since the days of ancient Rome, these timeless terracotta dishes have been an essential part of every kitchen. When archaeologists conduct excavations on Roman-era sites in Spain, fragments of cazuelas are a sure sign of a domestic site and can tell us much about the early origins of Spain’s culinary traditions.
Crafted by hand in Cataluñya, from a distinctive clay that has been in demand since antiquity, potters near Breda follow a traditional two-step firing process. The end result is a rich, earthy terracotta with a lovely food-safe glaze and a versatile form for everyday use!
Please note, we do advise a 1 - 2 hour immersion in water before applying heat to your cazuela in order to "season" the dish. We provide instructions in your shipment for further information. (close)
