Terracotta chicken roasting pot
I've just bought at a garage-sale a used but perfect Italian
terracotta oven-pot for roasting chickens in -- the sort with the chicken profile on the lid -- and I'm wondering whether these need pre- soaking overnight before use, the way I presoak my Tagine. cheers and thanks

But yes, a "clay pot cooker" needs presoaking - 15 mins minimum. Or so I've been told and as I do - maybe it's one of those things like the apocryphal story of the woman who cut off both ends of the ham before putting it in the pan because that's what her Gram did. Only to find out that Gram did it because it didn't fit in the pan.... TammyM

And, if it is like my Romvertopf, it is important to place it in a cold oven. Good point. Place in a cold oven and crank up the heat. http://www.fantes.com/romertopf.html#recipes -- See return address to reply by email remove the smile first
