These comales come from the village of San Marcos de Tlapazola in Oaxaca, Mexico. Artisans create the unique black spots during the firing process, caused by the sticks and branches that are seared to the surface of the comal. The style is typical of Oaxaca, a strong red colored ceramic with spots or manchas. The sloped edges of the clay griddle are perfect for toasting chiles and spices for a Oaxacan mole. The hand of the maker can be seen in the surface of the comal and each piece is unique. The underside of the comal is porous for maximum heat distribution.
Can also be used as a gorgeous serving platter or plate.
Poctli recommends the comal be treated with cal before use.
The diameter is approximate, each comal is slightly different as they are handmade but will be as close as possible to the option chosen. Each comal will have small cracks in the surface and may contain small traces of mica in the ceramic
Handmade from lead-free clay
Can be used on stovetop or direct flame on an open hearth
