Clay Casseroles. These containers will cause any food cooked in them to taste of clay unless they are treated. To prepare them for use rub the entire casserole and the lid, inside and out, with cloves of cut garlic. Put the cut garlic into a piece of foil and press hard against the pot, extracting the juice from the clove and rubbing it into the casserole. After rubbing with garlic, fill with water and add some diced celery, carrots, onions, parsley, and any other vegetable that will impart good flavor.
