Oval Roasting Dish 40cm.

This incredibly versatile rustic 40cm long oval roasting dish performs perfectly in any Fuego wood burning oven and is perfect for roasting meats, such as suckling pigs and legs of lamb.

It is entirely hand-made by artisan craftsmen and women in the Castile region of Spain using a combination of two fire clays that has been used for thousands of years. Slow-drying red clay gives the dish its strength whilst white clay containing quartz, feldspar, and mica gives it its unique refractory properties. With each use in a wood fired pizza oven, the earthenware of this cazuela hardens further to give years of faithful service. Suitable for any Fuego wood fired pizza oven, microwave, stovetop or traditional oven.

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.
