Hand-made by artisan craftsmen and women from a combination of two fire clays specific to the Castile region of Spain, this traditional cazuela dish has incredibly high refractory qualities. It is actually the same clay used to make the internal domes of every Fuego outdoor pizza oven. This means it can withstand and retain its heat for longer which makes it perfect for use in extremely high temperatures. So, it’s ideal for cooking in a Fuego wood oven and is also suitable for microwave, stovetop or traditional oven cooking.
Our terracotta cooking dishes are hand-made by experienced potters made with two types of clay; slow drying red clay which gives the pot its strength and white clay, containing quartz, feldspar and mica which give the pots their incredible refractory properties. The pots are dried, glazed and fired for 10 hours. The glaze on the cazuela dish is perfectly safe for all applications, it contains no lead.
On first use, terracotta cooking dishes need to be soaked for 30 minutes in cold water to prevent the pot from cracking when used. When cooking with terracotta, the key is to increase and decrease heat gradually to avoid cracking and shattering the dishes.
