Description

Called a hala in Arabic or cocotte in France, this pot is basically a covered casserole deep enough for braising or stewing. It’s perfect for soups, stews and braised dishes such as chicken or lamb shanks. It’s also fabulous for presenting dishes you’d like to reheat and serve from stovetop to table. The terra cotta keeps foods warm for a long time so you don’t have to worry about cold seconds. This size serves 6 to 8 people.

Espresso Brown with Turquoise Accents

Opening 11″ x 7″ H (31 cm x 17 cm). Because our pots are handmade, the actual dimensions may vary.

Features & Benefits

  • Sunken lid facilitates moisture retention inside pot.
  • Terra cotta clay high fired at 2,000°F for strength, durability and chip resistance.
  • All our pieces are completely handmade, natural earthenware. Minor imperfections add authenticity and charm, and are part of the piece.
  • Easy to clean, hand-applied glaze.
  • Lead and cadmium free.

Use & Care

  • Stovetop, oven and microwave safe. For gas cooktops, may use diffuser or lowest heat setting. For electric cooktops, please use only with a diffuser.
  • Clear ceramic glaze provides ease of cleaning. For difficult areas to clean, first soak for a few minutes in water, then scrub with a soft abrasive pad. Do not use metallic scouring pads.
  • Dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to give the best care to your earthenware. See our section Clay Cooking 101 for detailed explanations and effects of soaps and detergents on earthenware.
  • Earthenware does not like extreme temperature changes. For example, do not take a pot cold from the refrigerator and place it directly on a stovetop or in a hot oven; it may crack.
  • Before first use, please season. A complete explanation of this procedure is explained in detail in Clay Cooking 101.
