I've done a search, and the answer must be here on the forum somewhere..........
I've bought some earthenware cooking dishes - brown, glazed on the inside, round, rectangular; I'm sure that they need to be treated before using for the first time in the oven. Rubbing with garlic comes to mind, but I'm sure there was more to it than that.
Can anyone advise me please?
Thanks.
Treating Earthenware Dishes Before First Use
I´ve an earthenwear crockpot type thing I´ve had it for at least 25 years and the instructions said never to put it into a hot oven, only a cold oven and let it heat up with the oven and never to use washing liquid etc. I usually soak my pot in very hot water and rub it with a metal scourer. Then let it dry naturally. Also it said never to mix flavours eg fish / meat keep a different dish unless you want all your cooking with a fish flavour!

I am assuming you are talking about 'cazuelas'...
First, soak them in cold water for at least 3 hours. Then gradually heat them up ( stove top or oven ), but make sure there is always some liquid in them. I have done this to all of mine, and have cooked shrimp in olive oil on a gas stove ( exposed to direct flame), and never had any problem.
