Glazed Clay Cooking Pot

“The clay pot for beans, cooking slowly and keeping the flavours intact.”

Made in Cutrofiano, in the province of Lecce, by Fratelli Colì: lead-free glazed terracotta, for the slow cooking of home kitchens.

Made in Cutrofiano Lead-free Dishwasher safe

This round-bellied terracotta pot is made for slow cooking, and it is the right pot for beans and pulses, soups and stews that need time. Terracotta is ideal for natural cooking, keeping the original flavours of the ingredients intact, and it brings a timeless beauty to the table along with the dish. It is made to last: dishwasher safe, with lead-free glazes.

It is made by Fratelli Colì in Cutrofiano, in the province of Lecce in Puglia, where terracotta and majolica have been crafted by hand since 1650. A passion handed down from father to son, from generation to generation, producing tableware and baking dishes known for their old-world charm, quality and durability.

⚠️ Important, first time only: before using it, soak the pot in water for 12 hours. This is what gives it a long life.

Before you use it

How to look after a terracotta pot

1
The first soak

Avoid thermal shock: don't set it down hot on a wet surface and don't put it under cold running water while hot.

Crazing is normal
Fine cracks in the glaze are typical of terracotta and do not affect its use.
4
After washing
It can go in the dishwasher. Let it dry upside down before putting it away.

Colì quality

Made to last

For its baking dishes the maker has chosen glazes free of heavy metals, so lead-free: this is what the «Long-life baking dishes» mark stands for. Ongoing research and technical updates improve their resistance to heat sources and reduce the absorption of odours. The symbols on the maker's label show dishwasher, microwave, oven, electric hob and gas hob.

The MAR (High-Resistance Majolica) mark guarantees more than twice the resistance of ordinary ceramics: dishwasher safe, non-toxic and microwave safe. After many 16-hour wash cycles at 78 degrees with harsh detergents there was no loss of shine; in impact tests with a 50-gram ball it withstood drops from the maximum height of 90 cm, while ordinary clay showed cracks in the glaze at 50 cm and broke at 65 cm.

Fratelli Colì has voluntarily obtained ISO 14001 certification for the environmental management of its activities.
