Sunflower Yellow Terra Cotta Cazuelas - 8 Inches (4 Dishes)

Bring the charm of Spain to your table with our cheerful yellow cazuelas. These rustic terra cotta dishes are perfect for serving tapas or cooking your favorite meals.

In Spain, cazuelas are celebrated for their ability to go from oven to table, with the thick terra cotta retaining heat to keep your dishes warm. These versatile cazuelas are also great for serving side dishes and hearty tapas.

Handcrafted from solid terra cotta with hand-formed handles, our cazuelas are food safe and lead free. They hail from the town of Breda in Catalunya, where terra cotta kitchenware has been a tradition since Roman times. The local clay is perfect for creating durable dishes that maintain heat, ensuring your meals stay warm even after serving.

Each piece is hand-painted, so slight color variations may occur.

Care Instructions: Heat or cool cazuelas slowly to avoid breakage. Do not place a cazuela in a high heat oven or on a burner immediately. Avoid moving hot cazuelas to a refrigerator or submerging them in water to prevent cracks or breakage.

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.
