Locals from the village of Pomaire (pronounced Pom-eye-rie), just outside Santiago, have preserved a 150 year old tradition of working with clay using the same techniques handed down through the generations. Each piece is dried naturally, smoothed and then burnished with an agate stone before being fired.
Because Pomaireware distributes heat evenly, it maintains the moisture of the food so is perfect for casseroles, pies, soups and slow cooking. Not only do they make perfect oven to table items, but can be used on direct gas heat (low to medium) and electric hobs with a diffuser. This makes them the perfect all-round cookware essential.
