What use?
There are many ways you can use this set of dinner plates.
As a presentation plate, pie plate or even original pizza plate, serving plate or simply as a large plate, this 31 cm round ceramic can do it all. At the table, you can match it with standard-sized flat plates, and dessert plates.
It is a ceramic resistant to traditional oven or microwave (however, be careful to avoid thermal shocks).
In terms of decoration, there is also something to do! Place it under the large Cavaillon salad bowl and place it all in the center of the table or on a sideboard. You will thus have a beautiful piece of decoration, useful to accommodate your flower pots.

In the tradition
The Cavaillon motif is characteristic of the Provençal decorations of terracotta ceramics.
Textured mustard yellow pairs well with olive green, with hints of orange and red for this pretty wreath of country flowers. These color combinations are particularly popular in Vallauris pottery, and reflect the bright summers in Provence.
In the case of the plate, a green and ocher gradient macaroon is underlined with a cream border to mark the center. Very typical 3 point seedlings and "commas" recall the tall dry grass of our sun-crushed fields. It is obvious that the surrounding nature inspired the potters.

Manual
1 - Before first use (culinary terracotta only)
Before using your culinary pottery for the first time, we recommend to soak your pottery and its cover overnight in cold water and then to air dry thoroughly.
Then rub it with a clove of garlic and let stand for at least 5 hours.
Before use, clean it by hand, preferably with liquid Marseille soap or a diluted commercial detergent. Once dry, your terracotta pottery is ready to use.
2 - To avoid thermal shocks
Glazed terracotta and earthenware, like any ceramic, are materials sensitive to thermal shocks and can be damaged irreparably. Here are some tips to avoid breakage.
- 1st tip: Not empty!
Never heat or reheat a pottery utensil when it is empty. We recommend placing preparations or food inside, or at least a glass of water, before placing your dishes in the oven or on a cooking source.
- 2nd tip: Cold start
Whatever the heat source, you should always start your cooking in a cold oven, or on a small fire with a heat diffuser. Covered pottery retains heat and loses very little energy. You can heat up slowly. The earth gently cooks the stewed preparations, giving them back their water. These remain soft and tasty. There is no point in raising the temperature sharply. If you adhere to this principle, you can simmer unattended for a long time. Finally, do not use your pottery for quick cooking (roasting meat, for example). It is not appropriate. Prefer utensils made of iron, cast iron, etc, instead.
- 3rd tip: Do not put on a cold surface after cooking
Provide a tea towel, a cork or wooden trivet, and avoid placing it directly on a work surface. The temperature difference between very hot terracotta and a cold surface could create a shock causing cracking. Likewise, never pass from the oven to the refrigerator or vice versa. It would be fatal for your ceramic. Also, do not leave your terracotta or earthenware dish next to a cooking point. The proximity of a very hot temperature can crack the ceramic.
3 - How to clean your pottery
Even if you are using the dishwasher, you must handle your dishes avoiding any shocks. For hand cleaning, avoid metal pads and abrasive sponges. It is better to use natural detergents, such as Marseille soap products. Always rinse thoroughly, especially for utensils that have an unglazed part. You must allow your ceramic to dry completely before storing it. Place the lid separately, or staggered to prevent airtight closing while your dishes are resting. This will help prevent mold, as the terracotta retains moisture.
Thanks to these recommendations, you will rediscover the true flavor of your recipe in this natural earth, and the pleasure of sharing it at dinner.
