They are not supposed to be glazed. They are supposed to be soaked in
water before putting food in them and then put in the oven. It is part
of the cooking method. The food is steamed and then dry roasted which
is a bit odd. I found that I wasn't fond of mine. I have heard good
things about the tagines mentioned.

Yeah I prefer the tagines. ) They look really cool too and are fun to
throw.

Do you use yours in the oven or on the stove top? What clay body do you
use? I assume they are glazed inside and out...


In the oven, terracotta, glazed inside, with some glazed decoration out so
that the natural terracotta clay shows. I have seen some made in quite
grogged terracotta, I guess that would cope with heat changes easier, but
mine survived the oven )
