Can be used in place of a sauce pan or skillet, a paella pan, or as an oven casserole. Holds a slow and steady heat, allowing food to cook gently and evenly, and retains the heat when removed from the stove, allowing cooking to continue at the table for a dramatic presentation. * Origin: Breda, Catalonia * Variety : Rustic Terracotta in traditional Mediterranean colors * Recommended use: ideal serving dish for olives, tapas and other Mediterranean pincho, sauting and frying, and baking Spanish and Latin American stews * Formats: 13 cm (blue, yellow, pistachio/lime green), 14 cm (red, black)
