Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Reco International Romertopf Clay Baker
Customer Review: Awesome clay baker!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this item for the first time at Thanksgiving. What a wonderful clay baker it is!! If you're vegetarian, or vegan, or even if you're cooking other stuff, this is an amazing "appliance" to have. I made a seitan dish (for those who are not familiar with seitan, it's a meat substitute that's really expensive when purchased already prepared, but when you make it at home it's so cheap, and also extremely tasty. Of course it helped that I had all Bryanna Clark Grogan's recipes by my side!! [...]
The clay cooker produced an amazing seitan, it was delicious, it retained all its juices, and it had a wonderful crust on the outside that would never have been possible without the clay baker!
I also want to comment on the fact that Amazon has the best price for this clay baker!! Even if you buy it directly from the manufacturer, tne price is not this good!!
I wish I could give it 10 stars!! I also purchased the same clay cooker in a smaller size.
Oh and one more thing, don't forget to soak your clay baker in water for about 10 - 15 minutes befor you cook in it. You also want to make sure you don't use any kind of dish washing detergent when you wash it as it soaks in everything!! Just wash with a stiff brush, or even a firm sponge, and lots of water. One more very important tip - never place a hot clay baker on a cold surface. You might break the claypot!
Description of Reco International Romertopf Clay Baker
The Romertopf 2 to 5 pound clay baker is large enough to prepare 1 to 3 servings of meat or poultry. Clay pot cooking allows you to prepare quick, healthy, high quality meals that cost less and taste better. Food cooked in a clay pot requires no liquid unless specifically called for. The result: all natural juices, the full flavor and taste and all the essential nutrients and vitamins are retained. The taste is truly superb. You can cook all kinds of food without adding any fat, in line with the demands of modern dietetics. The Romertopf is made of a special porous clay and is unglazed inside and out allowing it to breathe during the cooking process. By soaking the pot in water before cooking, moisture is absorbed by the clay. The tiny water particles are released during cooking, penetrating and blending with the natural food juices, increasing flavor, tenderness and enhancing aroma.For centuries food has been cooked in earthenware pots over open fires or in brick ovens. Römertopf carries on this tradition by crafting clay pots and dishes specifically intended for cooking a variety of vegetables, meats, casseroles, and breads in the home oven. Manufactured in Mexico, each vessel is made from unglazed and porous terra cotta containing no lead or cadmium. Before each use, the pot is soaked in water in order to absorb a certain amount of moisture into the permeable clay. This moisture is slowly released during cooking, sealing in the natural juices and increasing the flavor and tenderness.
Covered in a bounty of sculpted agricultural motifs, and with a built-in handle, the Römertopf 1/2-quart baker can be used to prepare a small chicken, a meat and vegetable stew, or a casserole for a family of four. Measuring 7-1/2 by 11 inches and standing 6 inches tall, the baker can go straight from the oven to the table and can be used as a serving dish. Intended to be used only in the oven, Römertopf recommends washing all clay pots by hand. Due to their porous and unglazed nature, the pots should not be exposed to extreme temperature changes. --Lea Werbel
