Cataplana is the name given to a,

made of copper or stainless steel forged lenticular pot, with lid.

In this typical pot, which has been used for countless generations by the Portuguese

is used as the number one method of preparation, the food

gentle, cooked together in their own steam.

The cataplana can be used to prepare vegetables, fish, seafood and even meat.

Sometimes fresh mussels are combined with pork.

We use the cataplana, as it was in its original form many hundreds of years ago,

was used for the first time.

The Atlantic Ocean on our doorstep offers us countless possibilities,

to take advantage of this fantastic cooking pot.
