Mexican Clay Lidded Cazuela Pot, Large, Terracotta, 4.5 Quarts

I really like my clay pot. It’s my designated pot for making pinto beans. It is costly but since it’s lead free, I went for it. It’s also really beautiful. I’m super nervous about chipping it, but I just try to be careful with it. It’s easy to clean. I plan to order one for my daughter-in-law for Christmas.

This is the best thing I have ever bought for my kitchen next to my cast iron skillets. I read all reviews before I purchased and saw one that made me worry a bit but I was going to take that risk because I really wanted to have one. This cazuela arrived beautifully and in time for Christmas as a gift for my husband. I love the idea of supporting his home town and at the same time getting a great product. I will be buying everything I need from this seller and then some! I read that you can season this cookware by rubbing garlic all over-inside and out-and filling it up to the rim and setting it on the lowest temp to let the pot heat up slowly. While doing this I did notice some “sweat” coming from the bottom and it looked as if it was leaking a bit but I just looked it up online and this is a normal occurance for stoneware especially on its first use. This item did not have any chips or cracks anywhere. It’s just the pot getting into shape for use and once I got it all the way hot it did not have any more water coming from the bottom, I am so EXCITED!!! These are great for your kitchen or to give as gifts!

When i got my clay pot , my daughters son and me were so impressed . WOW!1 How big and beautiful rustic looking how i liked. I cured it by rubbing garlic in the outside the inside is filled with water put it in the stove for one hour. In the water ad 1 cup vinegar and I teaspoon of baking soda. . After turned of the stove and let it sit in that water all night,. Then your pot is ready.. the next day i cooked some beef stew there was no leaking no breaking and my food came out tasting so good. I recommend this pot BUT you have to cure. Finally i loved my pot another one to my collection. Amazon is awesome Thank!

I looked for a earthen ware pot specifically to cook beans low and slow in the oven. I hesitated because the pot is not cheap, but I liked this one better than anything else I was finding. The pot is the perfect size and is attractive. It is ceramic so I treat it with care. I took the time to go through the recommended seasoning process. It did weep a little the first time I used it to cook beans, but it was not much and I had put it on a baking sheet. I have not had any weeping since the first time. The beans always turn out perfect. Consistently so. I love my pot!

Loved the size, durability as expected, great for its value

It's very lightweight, I thought it would be heavier pottery then what it is. I don't think it's going to last very long. The lid doesn't match the pot either. I would think both pieces would have been fired at the same time and same paint so not sure why they didn't match better? I do love it though! Probably won't buy anymore pieces because it's so light weight not heavy duty like I thought!

Todo bien el producto, el envío todo bien

I had purchased the medium-sized cazuela first, then ordered the large size. I was planning to return the large size, but once it arrived, I realized the two were really quite different. I've decided to keep both ~ and am so happy I did. I love these cooking pots & use them for all sorts of purposes, ranging from soups to rice dishes. They're beautiful in quality and function, plus they come in perfect condition with careful packaging. Lovely!
