Terracotta Tapas Dishes - 18cm in diameter and 2.5cm deep. Made in Spain by Valdearcos Martos, S.A. One of Spains premier terracotta manufacturers Used in homes and restaurants across Spain for cooking and serving a whole variety of tapas dishes. All our tapas dishes from 10cm to 42cm are made in the same style, glaze and colour by the same manufacturer. If you are just getting into tapas or you are already a firm tapas lover and you are buying these and you feel you may be back at some point for more, if you buy from us they will definitely be the same in appearance and give you a matching set! When you use a classic terracotta cazuela to cook with, you will find it heats evenly, and retains the heat longer than any other dish. So when you bring your soup, stew, or sizzling garlic shrimp to the table in a cazuela, you guarantee that your creation will be served at its best. But cooking is not the only use for these handy dishes. They can be used to serve olives, almonds, and other tapas. Cazuelas are very versatile -- that's why they have been used since the time of the Romans! The glaze on the cazuela is perfectly safe for all applications -- it contains no lead. The dishes require simple seasoning (essentially soaking in water for a few hours) which renders them good for all applications: stovetop, oven or microwave. When cooking with terracotta, the key is to increase and decrease heat gradually to avoid cracking and shattering the dishes.

Great quality and reminds me of great holidays.
I had been looking for some earthenware dishes to recreate that feeling of our Kefalonian holidays and was looking around on here and ebay and found these. I decided to buy them from Amazon as I had a giftcard to spend and I feel a little more secure buying from here. That is not to say I have not bought from the other site as well, as I have and do.I did have an issue with two of the dishes so contacted the seller the evening they arrived and he immediately sent out a replacement for me which arrived two days later. The service and communication was excellent.The instructions on how to use them are worth following as being earthenware they are prone to damage a bit easier than your Pyrex!Great value and quality - that's why they got five stars.

A touch of Spain
Authentic Spanish tapas dishes - promptly received and well packaged.I was looking for tapas dishes to impress a friend coming over from Madrid and these dishes did the job perfectly. Soaked them first in cold water as recommended. Good quality and the perfect size for serving tapas for 4 people.

Poor Quality
Even following the instructions, 2 of these cracked during the soaking stage. The interior finish of these is very rough and overall the quality is poor. Now ordered better elsewhere for same price
