Cerámica Muñoz 15-inch Oval Cazuela Baking Dish

Crafted by hand, this large oval cazuela baking dish is produced in the village of La Rambla in southern Spain, an area with 4,000 years of pottery tradition. Made from red clay collected in the Spanish cities of Zamora, Valencia and Teruel, each dish is shaped and dried in the sun before being fired in a 1832℉ oven. The 15-inch length and low sides make it the perfect size for cooking everything from fish to roasts. Unlike some terracotta tabletop items that cannot withstand high temperatures, this casserole can handle slow, steady heat, so foods cook gently and evenly in the oven or over a medium flame on the grill. Each glazed piece is one of a kind and may come with slight variations.
