Heavy-duty clay for better durrability; Lead free and food safe. Our extra-large dish is perfect for entrée's a other full-size recipes. BEFORE FIRST USE - Soak in cold water for a minimum of 6 hours to seal the clay's natural pores.TIPS - Never place an empty pan on the stove or BBQ or add cold liquids to a hot pan; it will crack. Add the ingredients first, then gradually heat the pan. Cazuelas are stove top safe and BBQ safe for low to medium heat with liquid inside; never pre-heat an empty pan. Cazuelas are microwave safe, freezer safe, and oven safe to 400 degrees F. Extreme temperature changes will cause the pan to crack (i.e. from room temperature directly to a hot surface, or from a hot surface onto a cold counter top.)Following these simple tips will ensure a lifetime of use out of your traditional terra-cotta clay cazuela from Spain.

Joyce Chen J90-0704 6-Quart Stoneware Chinese Cooking Pot, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great all-purpose pot to have for baking beans, obviously, but also for slow oven baked dishes like ragouts, choucroute garnis, cassoulets and is the classic vessel for nabes, those layered one-pot Japanese meals. It makes a great soup tureen as it holds heat very well and an wonderful off-beat use for it is as a leprechaun's pot to hold the peanut butter-filled butterscotch-coated Ritz cracker cookie "gold coins" that I make for St. Patrick's Day.

Large Chinese Clay Pot (4.5 qt) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great pot! You can do the white boiled chicken for ten minutes and not have to worry about 20 minutes of simmering as you would with western pots! It's also great to make arroz con pollo and other Latin American stews and rice dishes. I don't think it bakes all that well since it's designed to go on top of the stove (Chinese, I hear, don't bake and they think it's a waste of energy to use this pot in the oven, don't ask!)Customer service from this vendor is fabulous. They sent me recipes, a wooden spoon, and a back scratcher. Dog got the back scratcher, they promised they'd send me another one! If you are into Chinese cooking, like I am since the Chinese restaurants are all buffet style for gringos and their families, do yourself a favor, get one of these extemely reasonably priced Chinese Clay pots, better than any LeCreuset Dutch ovens I have spent a lifetime being snooty about!

Made from exceptional clay found only in China that withstands a direct flame or direct contact with an electric burner. These pots represent a quite ancient and authentic part of Chinese cuisine. They are referred to as "sandy pots" due to their sandy exterior and course texture, yet the interior of these pots has a dark brown, smooth glaze. Many of the clay pots also come with a removable wire "cage" covering the exterior that serve both to protect the fragile earthenware and distribute heat evenly. Ideal for stews. Appealing for their traditional appearance and low cost. Multiple pots easily make a decorative set.

Pomaireware Clay Bean Pot with Lid, 6 Quarts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let's face it, during 42 years of marriage, I've cooked on many types of utensils, i.e. aluminum, teflon coated, slow-cookers, blah, blah, blah. The Pomaireware Clay Pot is probably how my "nana" cooked way back in the old days, but I guess she knew what she was doing. This pot cooks beautifully. My meat and vegetable soup never reached a boiling point, and so it simmered along until meat falling off the bone, the veggies were tender, BUT not mushy, and even the potatoes were tender and whole. The taste was great.... why not, it's a natural product.
