Cloud White Terra Cotta Cazuelas - 8 Inches (4 Dishes)

These delightful cazuelas are a go-to dish for the kitchen and will brighten up your table! These classic terra cotta dishes have a cheerful white glaze, and are perfect for roasting meats or potatoes, or for serving your favorite tapas.

These sturdy casseroles are just the right size for a side dish or for cooking classic Spanish favorites like pollo al ajillo (garlic chicken).

Our terra cotta cazuelas are made in Breda, where each one is formed, and small handles are added by hand – called “orejas” in Spain. They are food safe and lead-free, perfect for serving any dish, from your favorite tapa to mashed potatoes!

These cazuelas come from the town of Breda in Catalunya, where terra cotta cookware has been the typical cookware since Roman times. The local clay contains a very fine gravel which produces a sturdy terra cotta that holds heat, excellent for keeping meals warm even after the dish is brought to the dining table.

As each piece is hand painted, the exact color may vary.

How do I prepare my cazuela for cooking?

1. Soak the entire piece in water for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Drain and wipe dry.
3. Fill your cazuela with water.
4. Place over low heat on the stove and very slowly bring the water to a boil. (Use a heat diffuser for gas stoves.)
5. Let the water boil down until only a little remains. Do not allow all the water to evaporate as this may cause your cazuela to crack.
6. Cool slowly, then wash by hand.

Is the cazuela ready for use after preparation?

Yes, once cured, the cazuela can be used in the oven or on the stovetop. Always heat and cool gradually to prevent cracking.

What precautions should I take during use?

Avoid sudden temperature changes, as these may cause the cazuela to break. If using a gas stove, always cook with a heat diffuser. Discoloration may occur with use. Always wash by hand.

What if my cazuela hasn’t been used in a long time?

If your cazuela hasn’t been used for cooking in a while, it should be cured again before use to protect against damage.
