The greatest value of PIRAL terracotta cooking pot is that the heat spreads from the bottom to the sides of each item, so that a gradual, and above all, homogeneous cooking process is guaranteed.

Moreover there are some PIRAL items that can also be used as serving plates, because they preserve food at an ideal warmth.

Every single piece of PIRAL is designed to become a useful furniture element for each and every kitchen with different colors such as red, orange, white, green and so on.

TIPS & care information!
I recived this question from Carl (US):

"We got Piral baking dishes for Christmas but no instructions. Can you tell me how to use them? Can they be used in the oven and at what temp? How do I use them for the first time? How do I break them in? Thanks for your quick answer Carl."

Attilio's reply:
There aren't any particular care information for Piral pots and baking dishes. You can put PIRAL directly on the flame or electrical plate, in the oven and microwave because they receive a glazing treatment at 1800°F (1000°C). They can also be easily washed in any dishwasher, and can be treated as any other kind of pan, pot or skillet. They aren't fragile as they look unless you drop them on the floor!
