Terracotta cookware is ideal to cook some Italian classics such as "Ossobucco" or veal shanks Italian style. Just use your favourite recipe. Or perhaps someone would like to give it to us. I have a few, but I am always giving recipes so it would be nice to get something different.
Also, I don't know if you are keen on using a slow cooker or crockpot. Actually, the insert is the basic glazed terracotta pot. Ideal for certain dishes and you can cook a great whole chicken in it. Put it in the pot in the morning after cleaning and pat drying it with kitchen towels. Add plenty of salt and pepper. Fill up the cavity of the chicken with some herbs and two half lemons. Add a bit of lemon juice on top. Switch it on Low.... and it will be ready to eat 8 hours later. For a crispy chicken, after cooking cut it into serving pieces. Put them in a baking tray basting the pieces with some of the juices from the crockpot and a bit more of lemon juice and bake them for a few minutes in a hot oven or under the grill.
