Kitchen & Restaurant Supplies Plato De Barro Features
-
Barro literally means "mud" but generally means "clay," This Barro Rojo Plato is made by artisans living in the Oaxacan highlands. The red clay is gathered from the surrounding hills. Bits of wood, stone and corn are used as tools to mould the clay on a traditional banding wheel. The pottery is burnished using a stone and brush to give it a smooth unglazed finish. Finally it is pit fired under corrugated metal with wood, sawdust and cardboard.
-
This technique has been passed down through generations for hundreds of years in this village. Mexican Barro Plate is made of earthenware or "clay" or in Spanish "barro". The dish may be glazed inside or out (or both) then fired over low heat. The results are earthy, stunning and a pleasure to use. Clay has been traditionally used in Mexican cooking because the clay imparts a specific flavor to the foods that can't be reproduced in a metal pot.
-
Barro Plate is Safe to use and lead free. Before use, be sure to cure by using a simple seasoning process before you use the plate. Fill the plate with water and place it over a direct flame. Allow the water to boil for a few minutes then remove from the heat and discard. Do this twice.
