Can terracotta pots withstand heat?
1 Answer

Whether or not terracotta pots can withstand heat depends on how well they are made and cared for. A finely crafted pot can usually hold up in the face of high temperatures. If you intend to cook with one, season it with cooking oil to increase its durability. Shop a collection of terracotta pots on 1stDibs.
