Many buyers have emailed me on the use and care of terracotta cookware. They have said: “OK, I purchased my clay bakeware, now what?”

Excellent question and I will try and help.

Before using your terracotta cookware for the original time, wash exhaustively with hot water. Do not us soaps.

Each time you use your clay bakeware, immerse both the top and base in cold water for when it comes to 15 minutes. Pour off excess water. After adding all the ingredients place your terracotta bakeware in the center of a COLD oven.

DO NOT ADD COLD LIQUIDS once the clay cookware is hot.

DO NOT PLACE your terracotta bakeware over on open flame or hot cooking plate.

Regular recipes may be converted for clay pot cooking by increasing the cooking temperature by 100F and deducting one-half hour of cooking time.

Terrcotta bakeware is idealisti for the microwave. Because microwave ovens vary to such a great degree, use the oven manufacturer’s guidelines for cooking times.

Take care not to shock by clay pot cookware by moving it from one extreme temperature to another.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to move your terrcotta bakeware when hot, and place it on a trivet, mat or folded dishtowel when moving it out of the oven.

Cleaning after use: use hot water only, and a stiff natural bristle or mylon brush, or a nylon scouring pad to clean your clay pot cookware after each use. DO NOT USE SOAPS. A little baking soda will cut any grease. Never use cold water when the terracotta bakeware is hot.

When not in use, keep your clay cookware in a place where the air circulates. Place lid upside down on top of base when storing, to concede air to circulate inside the bottom of the roaster.

Use one clay pot cookware for fish and a discerned one for meats, to keep the flavors separate.

In summary:

• Hand wash your terracotta bakeware in hot water with a lot of baking soda and a nylon or natural bristle pad or brush.
• Do not wash with soaps or detergents.
• Always place your clay pot cookware in a COLD oven.
• Take care to keep away from uttermost temperature changes, ie. placing it in a hot oven.
• Never pour hot liquids into a cold clay pot cookware, or cold liquids into a hot terracotta bakeware.
• Always pre-soak for 15 minutes.
• Avoid open flame or hot plate.

Clay pot cooking saves time, reserves nutrients and vitamines, fends off excess fats in cooking.

Terracotta bakeware for healthful natural cooking.

One of the best holiday meals I have tasted not long ago was baked in a clay pot.

ReviewClassically straight-sided, this 2-quart saucepan is perfective for making sauces, heating soups, and preparing innumerable other foods. The phenolic handles and knob are oven-safe to 350 degrees F, so the pan may be used to braise or warm foods in the oven underneath it is tight-fitting lid. Revere’s Copper Clad cookware is made of handsome, mirror-finish, 18/10 stainless steel. Copper is cookware’s best heat conductor, and each pot or pan has a copper-clad bottom that spreads heat speedily and evenly. The pan has a loop on it is handle for hanging on a hook or peg, carries a 25-year warranty versus defects, and ought to be hand washed. –Fred Brack

A BIG disappointment
By D. Howell
I fondly remember growing up with Revere cookware during the ’50s and ’60s. It was sturdy and manufactured with care to precise measurements. Unfortunately, this is NOT the same product. Apparently, Revere cookware is now being manufactured in some third-world dumpster. The overall construction is flimsy; it bends and dents easily. None of the lids fit properly. The unreasonably thin “copper-cladding” was unevenly applied and looks like a roller-coaster ride around the sides of the saucepans. Revere needs to clean-up its act, or go out-of-business.

They don’t make them like they used to
By Erie Canawler
I ordered 2 of these 2-quart saucepans because I had owned them and liked them in the past. I only threw them out after letting them boil dry and turn into molten lava. The pans that I bought in September 2005 were manufactured in China and did not measure up to the past quality of those made in the USA and Korea. The interiors are oddly rough and the knob on the top of one of the covers has a sharp edge. These pans are worth the $15.33 I paid for each of them and not a penny more.

NOT Revere ware
By H. Eck
I was happy to find this item for sale, but it is of such poor quality that I am returning it. The bottom is so thin that the stamp shows through to the inside, and it is also raised to the touch. You can pop the bottom in and out with very little pressure. It looks much like the one I bought in the 1990s, but the quality is very inferior. I feel that the claim of “even heat distribution” is false. Disappointing for Corning.
