This round covered casserole by La Chamba is the perfect size for serving for 6 to 8 people. It's the one you need for any kind of braised dish... think chicken and vegetables, beef in red wine, Indian or Thai curries. Ideal for when you want to take a tough cut of meat and make it fork tender and succulent, turning it into a one pot meal. You could also use it to make a great risotto or a layered casserole.

Its eye-catching black finish looks fantastic on the table and blends with many décors. You'll find yourself looking for reasons to use this beautiful pot over and over again. 

Opening 10½" x 4" H (26.5 cm x 9.5 cm). Because La Chamba pots are handmade, the actual dimensions may vary.

Braising is one of the best ways to take an inexpensive cut of meat and turn it into a magnificent, delicious, gourmet meal.

Features & Benefits

• Its shape and lid makes this pot versatile - a great multitasker in the kitchen.
• La Chamba pots are molded by hand, fired, then burnished with river rocks to obtain the smooth, black surface.
• Easy to clean, unglazed, natural surface.
• 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.
• Smooth, hand burnished surface 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.
• Periodically rub inside cooking surface with olive oil to help maintain smooth, unblemished surface.

Do you need a heat diffuser? A heat diffuser is required for electric cooktops and recommended for gas cooktops to reduce the risk of thermal shock and cracking the pot. We carry a variety if you need one.
