Is the cooking bottom area unglazed ?

That is correct. The bottom outside area is unglazed. By the way, the part that is glazed is glazed with 100% lead free glazes.

Do you make them without the glaze and artwork?

Dear Customer, Not, just like you see it. regrads Magda

How do I cure my new clay pot

Hi Virgina,Our Cazuelas are made from very fine clay and may be used after slowly bringing some water to the boil and need no further curing. The Cazuelas do benefit however from seasoning it prior to its first use, which can be simply accomplished by adding a couple of peeled garlic cloves to the boiling water use to cure the Cazuela.The seasoning on the surface will increase with use; adding its signature flavor to the items cooked in it, and over time actually become naturally nonstick and requires low maintenance.Hope that helps.Ancient Cookware

Works well for us

We are retired and are home most of the time. We've started having beans and rice on the stove every day as a way to have "fast food" at the ready. After researching the best way for us to accomplish this, we decided on the cazuela. This one is a little large for the two of us, but it works perfectly and on the occasions where we are making soup or are serving more than two people. And I use it to soak and cook small amounts of fresh beans. We really love it. We had a question about a small imperfection in the lid and the folks at Ancient Cookware got back to us immediately. We have great confidence in them.

Love the look and using traditional cooking methods

It’s a beautiful pot and bought this primarily for making mole and other Mexican sauces and stews. It’s also a beautiful serving vessel. Now mind you I’m not Hispanic or Latino. But I’m a huge fan of Mexican food and cooking. Naturally I gravitated to learning myself - thank God for Rick Bayles.The only thing that makes me nervous about this pot is it seems fragile. I’m afraid of breaking it. Cooking in fired clay cookware is very new to me. I keep thinking of all the broken pottery from ancient archaeological digs on National Geographic. It’s broken for a reason.
