Hammered Copper Cazo (Cooking Pot)
Mexico By Hand sells heavy, professional grade hand hammered copper cazos from Santa Clara del Cobre in Michoacán. Not just beautiful to look at, cazos are traditionally used over an open fire to make carnitas, nopales, cajeta, jam, atole, and many other foods.
Cazos are available in a few sizes-- most of our customers who are home cooks buy the 14 inch or 16 inch, but we also occasionally can get an 18 inch. The measurement is the diameter of the top of the pot-- without the handles. An 18 inch cazo has a depth of 8 inches. Cazos are rounded, not flat on the bottom. You may use them on a gas stove with no problem.
You can read more about Santa Clara del Cobre and cazos here on a blog post we wrote a few years ago.

We’ve been thrilled to receive our own hand hammered copper cazo from Mexico by Hand. It was a bit of a wait (as we were told up front it would be) and that has only added to our delight on its arrival. It is gorgeous and everything we hoped it would be. We will be back to shop again.
Hi there! We're so happy to hear you love your hammered copper cazo. Thank you for your patience and kind words. We look forward to your next visit!
The pan is perfect and Peggy with Mexico By Hand was fantastic - she kept me informed every step of way and did everything she could to insure that the pan was received by Christmas, and it did!!
We're so glad your cazo arrived in time for Christmas...I hope your family uses it to enjoy many wonderful meals!
Having been in Santa Clara del Cobré and come home with several beautiful vases, pitchers and more, we were thrilled to find this little vase with the hammered deer design. We were looking for something for a particular shelf and it was just right.
Yes, it's a wonderful piece, we're so glad you're thrilled and thank you for your purchase!
Recently ordered two hammered copper vases from the Mexico By Hand website. They were packaged very well and shipped and delivered promptly. I was delighted by the entire process and am delighted to have them displayed in my new home.
And we are delighted that those beautiful vases have found a new home and hope that you enjoy them for years to come!
Fabulous. This was the second time I purchased a copper vase from Mexico by hand. They make beautiful gifts and both friends were thrilled. Next one will be for me!
Thanks very much for your review and your continuing support!
