Default Re: White porcelain pans

Terracotta, both glazed or, more usually, unglazed are the dishes of choice in Turkish restaurants.

Interestingly they do a dish called 'Desti kebab' which is cooked in a terracotta urn. This is a meat or vegetable guvec and is sealed in the pot with a flour/water paste. When served the pot is traditionaly broken at the table and the contents poured onto your plate. I am sure this is for effect as the dish would probably come out of the neck of the urn if the pastry was removed.
