Terra Cotta Earthenware: <strong>The</strong> Original<br />
“Green” Cookware<br />
Terra cotta was man’s (or woman’s) first cooking<br />
vessel. While our cookware has evolved since the<br />
Stone <strong>Age</strong>, the methods used to make terra cotta<br />
haven’t changed much.<br />
Using a simple mixture of clay and water, terra cotta<br />
is a healthy form of cookware that cooks dishes<br />
evenly without incorporating hazardous by-products<br />
or toxins.<br />
<strong>The</strong> clay construction means less heat is required<br />
during cooking or baking (due to the terra cotta’s<br />
premium heat conduction) and the glass-like finish<br />
produced by the glaze makes it easy to clean.<br />
Advantages<br />
Completely inert<br />
Nonstick<br />
Energy efficient<br />
Versatile– safe for all types of cooking and all heating sources<br />
Practical– it goes from stove to table to refrigerator—saving you time and<br />
reducing clutter in your cabinets<br />

Disadvantages<br />
Brands to Try<br />
Antique earthenware or imported terra cotta may contain lead or other<br />
contaminants, so it’s important to purchase from a reputable company<br />
