A handmade production
This earthen daubiere is modeled, cooked, dried and decorated in Vallauris by one of the last potters of Vallauris. The well-known city of ceramics was a place where Picasso loved to make artistic potteries. The whole manufacturing process is done by hand following the ancestral gestures of the potters of yesteryear. It has a very particular shape that requires dexterity and control.
The pottery is first turned and modeled in the clay, then it dries before a first oven cooking to turn solid. Then it is glazed with a brown enamel on the inside and the top of the pot, including the neck, to make it waterproof and prevent water loss. Finally, it’s annealed at around 1000 ° C to fix the finish. It’s a long process that requires patience, especially when the weather comes to hinder the work of the potter: indeed, the drying time depends on the ambient humidity. But if it’s too dry, the pottery is then more brittle and difficult to handle. In other words, the weather plays a very important role in the manufacture of ceramics.
Provencal cooking pot
This is a traditional terracotta container in Provence, antique french cookware used for a long time to cook the famous Provencal daube of which we give you the recipe below. Its shape is designed to contain pieces of meat and vegetables for a stew. The daubiere is wide at its base, like a small casserole, then narrows at the neck to maintain the moist heat of vegetable water. A pierced rim lid is used to collect the marinade to add to the preparation automatically.
Recipe of Provencal daube
Several versions of Provencal stew come from different parts of Provence: there is the daube of Avignon, the daube of Nice and the comtadine daube. Each has variants, but the basic recipe remains the same, and always delicious. Check out our family recipe of the daube on our blog and give your opinion!

Questions
Peut on utiliser la daubiere sur des plaques électriques ou à gaz, et peut on mettre de l'eau dans le couvercle
si nous faisons la daube sans marinade ????
Merci
Bonjour Sandrine,
Oui, il est tout à fait possible de l'utiliser sur des plaques de cuisson quel que soit le revêtement pourvu que le fond de la poterie soit protégée de la chaleur directe. Nous recommandons de placer sous la daubière un diffuseur - mijoteur si vous en avez un, ou une simple poêle qui servira d'écran. Toujours démarrer à petit feu, puis augmenter progressivement pour éviter les chocs thermiques.
D'autre part, vous pouvez mettre de l'eau dans le couvercle , qui aura pour effet de réhydrater votre préparation automatiquement.
Le daubier en terre cuit est à combien litre svp?
Merci d'avance,
Bonne journée
