Product Description:
Bring a touch of Portuguese tradition to your kitchen with this set of two terracotta frigideiras. Handcrafted and hand-painted in Portugal, these clay dishes are perfect for both cooking and serving.

Care & Use Instructions:
Before first use, wash with warm water (no soap) and soak in lukewarm water for 4 hours or overnight. Use while still slightly damp to help relieve stress in the clay.
For stovetop use, always start with low heat and gradually increase. A heat diffuser is recommended for even heating and to avoid cracking. For oven use, place in a cold oven and allow to heat gradually. After cooking, let it cool on a towel or potholder—never on a cold surface.
Hand wash only with warm water. Dry thoroughly and store in a ventilated space.
Important Tips:
-
Not for use on electric or glass stovetops. Safe for gas stoves, ovens, and wood-burning ovens.
-
Avoid thermal shock (e.g., adding cold liquids to a hot dish).
-
Terracotta becomes more seasoned and effective with continued use.
