Terracotta Cookware Item

RE: Terracotta Cookware Item Post By KAREN (Guest Post) (10/05/2008) Thanks for the info. I found mine in some auction stuff. I plan to use it on top of the stove, might even use it on the campfire. Thanks.

As Cat rightly says, roasting in Terracotta enhances the flavour & the pot also retains the moisture. If you're really thrifty, you might ask us about factory seconds...

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Terracotta Cookware Item Post by jgulia101 (1) | (05/11/2008) Contact I recently received a La Cotta item that was my grandmothers. It does not have a hinge. It appears to have been cooked in, and it has some paper stored inside of it. It has some kind of plain white paper that is folded up, as if it is to be used in this piece while cooking. It is an oval that is about 11 x 7 inches - with a matching top. It has small ceramic handles - not plastic/rubber ones - on each end. I'm not sure if it is some kind of roaster/oven or what. Any help identifying how I should use it would be appreciated. I'm assuming I would soak it in water before cooking in it like the other style of La Cotta mentioned above.

I thought it would crack, and also how do you do steaks in it?

It is sort of oblong and has rubber handles. I don't think it has ever been used. I thought it might an omelete cooker. I paid $1.00 for it and believe it to be my treasure from Maine.

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELEIVE?? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Terracotta Cookware Item Post By mark bell (Guest Post) (07/18/2006) Yes, it is a steak cooker. I have had one for the past 33 years. I got it as a wedding present from a very patriotic Italian family. It sat in the "useless miscellaneous appliance cupboard" for many years. It was perceived to be so useless that the ex-wife even left it behind when she took all the other "useless" appliances and gadgets at the time of her departure. Well wasn't she a fool. It is now my most treasured possession, not because it reminds me of her, but because it cooks the best steak I have ever eaten. It took a while to perfect the "art" of cooking in it. Many of the initial steaks were "Steak ah-la Dunlop" with a touch "essence of detergent". I discovered it progressively got better with every use provided it was cleaned in the appropriate manner. That is, don't clean it. Never use detergent of any kind on it. Sadly it recently came to grief. I found your comment whist searching for a replacement. Regretfully, I was not able to find one. So if you are considering selling yours, I am in the market to buy one. Regards Mark Report Spam or Abuse RE: Terracotta Cookware Item Post By Dori (Guest Post) (04/02/2006) Hi! I also bought one at a thrift store because it is so unusual. The "Marchio Depositato" means "patent pending" or something like that. I don't know what it's original purpose is, but it makes great omelets. It is large enough to put your eggs, mushrooms, onions (or whatever you like in an omelet) and cheese all in one side, cover it and after about three minutes turn it over for another 3 minutes or so and serve. The omelet is very flavorful - maybe because all the flavor is held in by the clay cookery. If you find out what this pan really is, please let me know.

Have found 1 listed on e-bay for $8.00. I think is is a steak cooker. Also on e-bay called LaCotta Clay Omlet Maker. I am looking for instructions. Wish I could be more help.

Sometimes we put cheese & bacon in between 2 slices of bread - great grilled cheese sandwiches - put some fruit in bread - yummy! A little imagination can give you many different goodies! Enjoy!
