Is the cooking bottom area unglazed ?

That is correct. The bottom outside area is unglazed. By the way, the part that is glazed is glazed with 100% lead free glazes.

Do you make them without the glaze and artwork?

Dear Customer, Not, just like you see it. regrads Magda

How do I cure my new clay pot

Hi Virgina,Our Cazuelas are made from very fine clay and may be used after slowly bringing some water to the boil and need no further curing. The Cazuelas do benefit however from seasoning it prior to its first use, which can be simply accomplished by adding a couple of peeled garlic cloves to the boiling water use to cure the Cazuela.The seasoning on the surface will increase with use; adding its signature flavor to the items cooked in it, and over time actually become naturally nonstick and requires low maintenance.Hope that helps.Ancient Cookware
