Now that many cookware can be bought in such variety in good standard patterns and prices to suit all pockets, there is no excuse for chipped and unattractive pieces in our kitchen and on our tables. Practicality-wise, it is no longer considered important that everything should match in pattern, provided that the pieces go well together.
Among the most beautiful cookware today is the earthenware which is made of clay. Earthenware is one of the oldest resources used in pottery. The most familiar is the red earthenware made from red clays and the most available and commercially-used is the off-white earthenware. Since it is clay, earthenware is porous and therefore not as strong as stoneware and porcelains, but when glazed, it becomes non-porous, stronger and functional.
Non Stick Cookware
Terracotta is a type of earthenware made of red burning clay. It contains superior iron content giving it a superior quality feature. Terracotta is most excellent for conventional and microwave oven use though it is also adaptable to top of the stove cooking. Example of beautiful terracotta earthenware includes Spanish cazuelas, Romertopf casseroles and Terra Allegra terracotta.
Terra Allegra is the authentic and all-natural Italian terracotta specially made with the absence of harmful by-products. It is made from carefully-selected raw materials to cater to the green choice of a cookware being sought by consumers around the world. This fine Italian terracotta is smoothly molded and hand-dipped in non-stick crystalline finishes particularly made for stove-tops, microwaves and ovens. It can be taken directly from the oven or stovetop to serve at your table, plus it comes in an array of stunning colors that can impress every occasion making your food looking more delectable.
Terracotta cooking is quality cookware cooking that helps you maintain good health. It is inert and emits a far-infrared heat, the most effective and beneficial heat for cooking, allowing the deepest flavors in food to come out. This also suggests less heat or energy during cooking or baking due to the terracotta's premium heat conductivity. If you love to bake, terracotta is excellent for baking. The bakers even go great for roasting all kinds of vegetables.
My wife's Terra Allegra terracotta pieces truly come unique and versatile. It's terrific she can put a whole chicken in a rectangular baker with veggies, herbs, a lot of spices and drops of dry sherry wine for a moist and spicy veggie-filled chicken dinner every time. Plus the deep, clear colors and the earthy nature is so beautiful everything on the table looks so delectable.
With a good reason, terra cotta is truly the gift of cookware for the earth and for the family, and if you treasure both the flavor of your food and the benefits of healthy cooking, you'd surely want a terracotta cookware to join you in the kitchen.
Enjoy!
