Bring a touch of nostalgia and style to your chestnut-roasting ritual with this vintage Sassafras clay chestnut roaster. Carefully preserved and available in limited quantities, each roaster is a piece of culinary history that still works beautifully today.
Key Features:
Stoneware Construction: Made from heavy-duty, oven-safe Sassafras clay that retains heat and distributes it evenly. These roasters were built to last—some date back to the 1970s and beyond.
Classic Design: The lid is embossed with the words “Chestnut Roaster”, giving it that timeless rustic look.
Approximate Size & Weight: 8.5 × 8.0 inch diameter × 4.0 inches, shipped in box
Made in the USA: Sassafras roasters were produced domestically, adding to their charm and collectible appeal.
Why Choose a Clay Chestnut Roaster?
Clay is excellent at slow, even heat—perfect for gently roasting chestnuts without burning them.
The heavier lid helps retain steam, which aids in peeling the shells afterward.
It’s a tactile, hands-on way to enjoy chestnuts—something that adds warmth and ritual to the process.
Usage & Care:
Use on gas or electric stovetops (low–medium heat recommended).
Preheat gently—don’t shock it with high heat.
After use, allow it to cool completely before washing by hand (no sudden temperature changes).
Avoid dishwashers, as the glaze and clay can be sensitive over time.
