Traditional Portuguese Terracotta Sausage Roaster - Hand Painted Pig

Chouriço à Bombeiro - Bring a taste of Portugal to your kitchen with this authentic, hand-crafted painted terracotta sausage roaster — shaped like a pig and steeped in tradition. Made by small family-run pottery artisans, each roaster reflects generations of ceramic craftsmanship and old-world charm.

Perfect for cooking classic Portuguese sausages like chouriços, linguiça, morcelas — or any cured dry-sausage — this roaster turns a simple meal into an experience. Light a small amount of alcohol beneath the rack to flame-roast your sausage, creating a crispy, smoky crust and releasing rich, deep flavors.

Whether you’re hosting a tapas-style dinner, a cozy BBQ with friends and family, or searching for the perfect gift for a foodie, this roaster is a conversation-starter and a statement piece — practical, authentic, and beautiful.

Key Features:

• 🇵🇹 Hand-made in Portugal — crafted by a family-owned pottery studio using traditional techniques and natural red clay. 
• 🎨 Rustic & Hand-Painted Finish — each piece is unique, with hand-painted detailing that adds old-world character to your dinner table. 
• 🥩 Ideal for Portuguese Sausages — designed to cook chouriço, linguiça, morcelas and other dry-cured sausages in classic “sausage flambee” style. 
• 🔥 Flame-Roast for Authentic Flavor — pour alcohol (like brandy or high-proof spirit) into the base, ignite, and roast your sausage on the rack for a crispy, smoky finish. 
• 🍽️ Perfect for Entertaining & Gifts — brings Portuguese heritage to your kitchen; a great housewarming or foodie gift. 
• 📏 Approximate Size — compact enough for home kitchens yet large enough for standard sausages. (For reference: many similar roasters are roughly 11–13″ long.)

How to Use

1. Pour a small amount of alcohol (brandy or other high-proof spirit) into the base of the roaster.
2. Place a cured sausage (e.g., chouriço) on the rack — optionally make shallow cuts about an inch apart along the top to let smoke and fat escape.
3. Light the alcohol with a match or lighter — flames will roast the sausage, crisping the outside and heating the inside.
4. Rotate the sausage every minute for even cooking.
5. Once it’s crisp and sizzling, carefully remove, slice, and serve immediately — ideally with bread or as part of a tapas spread.
