cazuela (feminine noun (la)) — casserole dish. Look up cazuela in the dictionary

Echamos pollo, papas, zanahorias, cebolla, y unas especias a la cazuela para hacer la cena.
We threw some chicken, potatoes, carrots, onion, and spices into the casserole dish to make dinner.

I usually say cacerola. But I'm not sure if it is exactly the same.

I think terms like these change a lot from place to place.

To me this is a casserole dish:


And in Spanish I think it can be cacerola or cazuela depending on where you're from. Cazuela can also mean pot.

Hola, ¿entonces cazuela significa un plato para cocinar comida (cacerola) y no la comida misma ?

Estoy cocinando una de mi favorita cazuela
I'm making one of my favorite cassarole dishes today - (refiere a la comida misma [refers to the food itself])

For me this is an oven dish, cacerola or cazuela would both mean pot (at least that's what I thought)

What are those glazed terra-cotta bowls that are used for baking savory
food in Spain (and sometimes Mexico) called? I always assumed they were cazuelas

Cazuelas... to make huevos al plato. Yummy!

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

En México se llaman cazuelas de barro... normalmente, cuando oigo la palabra "cazuela" sólo pienso en ésas... las de otros materiales para mí son cacerolas (u ollas cuando son más profundas).

[irmamar]

I agree, we say "cazuela de barro" for these terra-cotta ones

No.......dependiendo de donde eres, cacerola = cazuela = pot or casserole dish not the food itself.

I know they prepare them but I don't think casseroles (the food) are big in Spanish-speaking countries. I know there are a few recipes out there but not as popular as here in the U.S.

I could be wrong but that has been my personal experience.

Bievenida Maria José.....se te extrañó.
