Why is ceramics considered better than other kitchenware?
Cooking with clay means cooking with patience. Clay distributes heat slowly and evenly, achieving a more natural and flavorful cooking.
Moreover, it retains heat for a long time, making it ideal to serve directly at the table and enjoy dishes as if just prepared.
Can you cook on a ceramic hob with clay casseroles?
Yes, as long as the pieces are made of refractory clay, which withstands thermal shock. All our pieces suitable for cooking are also suitable for ceramic hobs.
💡Helpful tip: take advantage of clay’s heat-retaining ability and turn off the ceramic hob a little early — the casserole will finish cooking by residual heat, helping you save energy.
Do you make customized or made-to-order pieces?
Yes. We adapt designs, sizes, and finishes according to each client’s needs (with minimum quantities depending on the product).
Are different colors or finishes available?
Yes, we offer a variety of glazes and finishes. All comply with current food safety regulations and are lead- and cadmium-free.
First use and care of the clay casserole for cooking
1. Initial preparation
Before using it for the first time, fill the casserole with water, add a tablespoon of flour, and bring it to a boil.
Once it has completely cooled, empty it. This way, the piece will be well-sealed and more durable.
2. During cooking
• Light a low heat and gradually raise the temperature.
• Never place the casserole empty on the heat — clay is sensitive to temperature changes and could crack.
3. Care during and after use
• Avoid sudden temperature changes: do not place the hot casserole on cold or metallic surfaces. A wooden base is ideal.
• Handle with care — clay is delicate. Do not strike the edges or use metal utensils forcefully.
• Allow it to cool before soaking.
• If food residues remain, soak them for a few minutes until they come off easily.
4. Storage
Before storing it, make sure the casserole is completely dry.
This will help prevent odors or mold.
If possible, store it in a dry and ventilated place to keep it in perfect condition.
