Curanto pit

The Chiloé curanto en hoyo is a fixed outdoor cooking pit heated with stones and covered with nalca leaves and earth or turf. It is distinct from curanto cooked in a pot; ingredients and layer order vary by household and occasion.

Palo chochoquero

A palo chochoquero is a large wooden roller used to cook Chiloé’s potato-based chochoca. Dough coats the pole as it turns above a hearth, browning in place of a pan.
