Un buen matrimonio es como una cazuela, solo sus responsables saben realmente lo que pasa en ella.

( A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it. )

'Gallina' means 'hen', the ones that are usually bred for the eggs, not their meat. A live chicken is still called a 'pollo', it's not just the type of meat. - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010
Thanks Billstpor, I guess I thought the old hens that no longer layed eggs were what was used in the stews. - Brynleigh, Dec 7, 2010

'Cocinar con una cazuela, sobre todo a fuego lento, resulta en una comida deliciosa' (it's also correct to say 'Los resultados de cocinar (..) son deliciosos') - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010
Thank you Bill , so it is "to cook with " rather than cooking with? sounds better also. - ray76, Dec 7, 2010
It depends on what kind of sentence you're dealing with. If you say 'I don't feel comfortable cooking with..', then you would translate that as 'No me siento a gusto cocinando con..' - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010

Una cazuela sucia puede ponerse de nuevo en el horno para facilitar su limpieza.

A dirty casserole dish can be put back into the oven to make cleaning easier.

'Una cazuela sucia'. Also, while not bad, it is better to say 'puede ponerse'. Same with 'la limpieza': it would be better to say 'su limpieza'. - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010
I believe I;ve fixed it. Thanks for the help! - 0066c384, Dec 7, 2010
Almost.. when you put the 'se' as a suffix of the second verb ('ponerse'), you need to remove it from where it was: 'Una cazuela sucia puede ponerse..' - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010
Okay. Thanks! - 0066c384, Dec 7, 2010

La vida es como una cacerola.. es diferente cada vez que se hace, dependiendo de lo que se puso en ella cuando se hizo.


Life is like a casserole…it is becomes different each time it is made, depending on what went into it when it was being created.

The word order looks weird, and there's a couple tweaks to be made too: 'En la mayoría de los restaurantes de los Balcanes se sirven cazuelas de frijoles' - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010

Las cazuelas son ideales para cocinar un pote. Casseroles are ideal for one pot cooking.

'Cazuelas' is the subject, so you need an article: 'Las cazuelas son..'. - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010

"I really like" could be translated either as "Me gustan mucho.." or "Me encantan..", both conjugated in plural by the way, as the subject is 'patatas'. - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010
You can also use 'tanto', but then you usually expect to see a subordinate clause behind it:' Me gusta X tanto *que no puedo esperar a comerlo de nuevo*'. If there is no sub. clause,you replace it with an ellipsis, pretty much like 'I like XX so much.. ' - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010

¿ No se cocinaría mejor en una olla de barro que en una cazuela?

Wouldn't this cook better in a crock pot than in a caserole?

It's helpful to have a big supply of casserole reciptes and the phone number for Domino's Pizza.

Es útil tener un gran sumtido de receta de cazuela y el número de teléfono de Pizza de Domino.

When you put 'grande' before a noun it becomes 'gran'. Also, rather than suministro, in this context you'd use 'gran surtido de recetas de cazuela'. Finally, it's 'número de teléfono de Domino's Pizza' (not para). - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010

Cuando llegué a mi casa me dio la bienvenida el olor de pimiento, ajo y pollo friendos. Sn falta mi hermana estaba haciendo la cazuela exquisita.

When I got home, I was welcomed with the smell of pepper, garlic and chicken frying. Surely my sister had been cooking delicious casserole.

'friéndose'. And rather than 'Sin falta', I'd say 'Con seguridad mi hermana..'. Also 'una cazuela' (no definite article there) - bill1111, Dec 7, 2010
