Tierra Negra Terracotta Cooking Pots
 |
| Versatile cooking pots in terracotta |
Terracotta is made in the same way as tierra negra, but after firing, the natural clay glaze is left in its fully oxidised state. (Indeed the only difference in manufacture is that with tierra negra, the glaze is reduced to a black colour through the addition of dried grasses and herbs just after firing). This is not the case for some of the terracotta cookware available today which, in fact, cannot be used over a direct source of heat.
All of our terracotta cookware and tableware can be used over any direct source of heat, it is safe to use both in the oven and on the hob – gas, electric, Aga or ceramic. It can also be used under the grill or in the microwave and can be washed safely in the dishwasher.
Before being used for the first time the cookware should be thoroughly cleaned with washing-up liquid and a sponge to remove any residues left after the firing process. Each piece should then be filled three-quarters full with water and placed in an oven for 30 minutes at 200˚C or Gas Mark 6.
For best results pieces with a round base like the ones featured here should be used over a gas ring or open fire.
