Spanish Cazuela – Claypot (choice of sizes)

Spanish clay pots, known as “cazuelas”, are a staple in Spanish cuisine. These earthenware pots are used for slow cooking, stews, rice dishes, and casseroles, imparting a unique flavor and texture to dishes. The porous nature of clay pots helps to retain moisture, allowing flavors to meld together seamlessly.

Before using the cazuela for the first time, it must be seasoned. This process closes the pores and makes the clay resistant to heat and temperature changes. This process is sufficient once. To carry out this process properly, it is necessary to:

• 1. Soak it in water the night before using it (it is advisable to do so for at least 8 hours) with a spoonful of vinegar.
• 2. Before using it, dry the piece after removing it from the water.

Tips:

• Avoid sudden temperature changes: This can cause the clay pot to crack.
• Use a low heat: This helps to prevent burning and allows flavors to develop slowly.
• Avoid using metal utensils: These can scratch the pot’s surface.

By following these tips, you can enjoy the delicious and authentic flavors of Spanish cuisine cooked in a traditional clay pot.
