The Romertopf's success is the selection of several different, but specific porous clays which allows the Romertopf to absorb a great deal of water. During the cooking process, the heated and fast moving water molecules penetrate the product, thereby cutting the fibers, depositing the spices and keeping your food moist,  delivering to you a tastier, more tender result. 

 

Romertopf clay cooking not only saves nutrients, but also saves time. Simply soak the Romertopf in water for 10-15 minutes prior each use, submersing top and bottom. Place the ingredients inside and put the clay baker into a cold oven, then simply set the temperature and timer. The Romertopf will not need your attention as it cooks your dish to perfection.
