Crafted by hand, this large oval cazuela baking dish is produced in the village of La Rambla in southern Spain, an area with 4,000 years of pottery tradition. Made from red clay collected in the Spanish cities of Zamora, Valencia and Teruel, each dish is shaped and dried in the sun before being fired in a 1832℉ oven. The 15-inch length and low sides make it the perfect size for cooking everything from fish to roasts. Unlike some terracotta tabletop items that cannot withstand high temperatures, this casserole can handle slow, steady heat, so foods cook gently and evenly in the oven or over a medium flame on the grill. Each glazed piece is one of a kind and may come with slight variations.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use for fish, meat roasts, and other large dishes.
Before exposing your cazuela to high heat for the first time, cure the dish by soaking it in water and cover for four hours. After soaking, fill the dish with water to below the rim and place on a low flame, gradually raising the temperature, until the water starts boiling. Hand-wash recommended and be sure to avoid quick temperature changes.
