- Four 8 inch cazuelas
- Hand-made by skilled artisans
- Great for serving soups & stews
- Lead-free, food-safe
Cazuelas, terra cotta dishes, have been used in Spain since antiquity. They are the oldest manifestations of domestic life -- and can be seen at every archeological dig dealing with Iberian housing. Cazuelas are one of the original vessels used for a developing cuisine. Our cazuelas are clearly the best you can buy. They are made according to a Roman formula which has been employed for centuries in this area of Spain near the Pyrenees.
Although terra cotta is nothing more complicated than moistened clay, fired with an interior glaze so it can hold liquids, this particular cazuela is made of a special clay to which small pebbles have been added to strengthen the bowl and increase its heat retention. They are fired at a higher temperature for durability.
These handsome cazuelas may be brought to the table straight from the oven. An 8-inch diameter dish is a good size to roast almonds, serve fabada stew, calamares, or other traditional dishes.
The glaze on the cazuelas is lead-free: safe for all cooking applications. If you want to use them over stovetop burners, be sure they are pre-soaked in water before the first use. This cazuela is 8" in diameter and 2" deep -- a handy size to serve a casserole to three or four people.

Las cazuelas se han utilizado en España desde la antigüedad. Son las manifestaciones más antiguas de la vida doméstica, y se encuentran en todas las excavaciones arqueológicas relacionadas con casas ibéricas. El barro no es nada más complicado que arcilla humedecida, al fuego lento con un vidriado interior para que pueda recoger líquidos.
Las cazuelas son uno de los instrumentos clave de una cocina en desarrollo. Se pueden traer a la mesa directamente del horno. Un diámetro de 7.5 pulgadas es un buen tamaño para cocinar almendras, fabada, calamares u otros platos tradicionales. El vidriado de las cazuelas no tiene plomo. Es seguro en cualquier cocina. Si los quiere usar en los fuegos, asegúrese de sumergirlos en agua antes del primer uso. Tiene dos pulgadas de profundidad.
