The Coolest Clay Pot Cookware

Beautiful Sun-Kissed Tuscany

 The first time I saw Tuscany, I went crazy for the great view and fresh greens everywhere. If I were given the chance to choose where to build another house, I'd say a villa on on one of the Tuscan hills would be great.

Another thing that made me crazy was the terracotta pots that many of the meals were served in. They are just fascinating and perfect for parties, and they are Italian by origin.

When we were on our way to the airport to fly back to the US, I have to pay more for my extra baggage. I couldn't imagine I bought terracotta bakeware pieces that are resistant to over 1500F. I carried a range of sizes and shapes, including ovals, lasagna pans, tall and low casseroles with lids in three sizes, and a large round roasting pan.

 
There are two colors with a tan interior and either a green or blue exterior and lid.The pieces were said to be made from clay quarried in Tuscany and are made specifically for wood-fired oven baking, and are heat resistant and high heat tempered. They are safe for cooking and are lead-free.What intrigued me so much was its ability to manage when used in a conventional oven, or a wood-fired oven. It's 100% food-safe made it a perfect modern cookware to match with my great grandfather's wood oven.

My Tuscan trip was among the best I can say.
