Clay cookware, bakeware, and earthenware has been hand made in Pomaire, Chile since the mid 1800’s. This distinctive piece is both functional and decorative; it cooks well and makes a unique serving dish.
Ovens work around the clock in Pomaire, Chile, packed full of clay cookware. Each item is formed, dried, then smoothed and burnished with an agate stone before being fired. No glaze or varnish is used, the only ingredient is lead free clay. It takes around 8 hours in the oven to create the dry, hard finish. This is a hand made item, so no two are exactly alike, and each one has it’s own blemishes and shades of color.
A clay baker distributes heat evenly and maintains the moisture of food when used in your oven. Every type of cookware has it's own unique cooking characteristics, and many people enjoy clay pot cooking for their favorite recipes - taste the difference with this slower cooking earthenware. Oven safe up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and it can be used on a gas stove top at moderate flame or with a heat diffuser on electric stove top. Microwave safe.
Very popular all over Chile for baking and serving. Use soft utensils such as wood, bamboo, or plastic; hand wash. While the finish is fairly tough, it could be cured by cooking with oil at first. Bear in mind that this clay is somewhat porous - it's not glazed - so if left sitting with water in it some leakage may occur. Cooking oil is thicker and will not soak through.
Clay products are generally shipped within 4 days and should arrive from 1 to 5 days from ship date (to most addresses within the continental USA.)
