Terracotta is a reddish/brown-colored earthenware clay that is kiln-fired at low temperatures. After firing, the clay loses water and becomes a solid, but still porous material – terracotta. After being shaped into the desired form, terracotta can be glazed, which makes it waterproof and easy to clean.

Terracotta is ideal for baking and cooking purposes, since it distributes heat evenly, helping your baked goods turn out perfect.

Few hints to clean terra Cotta. Wash the piece in hot water before using it. Don’t use dish soap and place the terra-cotta cookware with food in a cold oven then turn it on.
