This Lidded Cazuela is great for making soups, stews, and other casserole-style dishes, and because of its beautiful glazed finish, it can be taken directly to the table to make a dramatic presentation. Length 15in (including handles), Width 11.5in (from outside), Height 7.0in, Diameter 11.5in and Capacity 4.5qt (filled comfortably without overflowing). Will last many years with proper use and care (each piece comes with a product information sheet outlining the Uses and Care for the product). As with other clay cookware, the flavor of the food cooked in it actually improves with use. Completely natural and safe, contains no toxins or lead. In the semi-desert region of Hidalgo, Mexico, our cazuelas are made by hand by artisans whose craft has been handed down for several generations.
