Terracotta Chicken Roaster with Lid

Dexam Terracotta Chicken Roaster

The Dexam Terracotta Chicken Roaster is a lidded clay roasting vessel that holds a medium to large chicken and is oven safe to 220 °C.

The lid traps steam inside the vessel, so the bird cooks in its own juices rather than drying out in open oven heat. The result is closer to a slow braise than a conventional roast: tender meat and a moist finish. Terracotta holds warmth steadily, which suits long, low cooking.

Clay has been used for cooking vessels for thousands of years, and the same properties still apply: even heat retention and a sealed, moist cooking environment. Beyond whole chicken, the roaster handles stews, braises and slow-baked joints.

The interior is glazed, so there is no seasoning step before first use and cleaning is straightforward. The exterior is left unglazed. Bare terracotta is porous and will absorb fats and oils over time, so expect the outside to darken and stain with use.
