Clay Cookware for Healthy Cooking

Clay pot cooking dates back several thousand years ago when the Romans covered a prepared chicken with mud and threw into the embers of a fire. When the clay had dried and hardened, it was taken out and the mold broken - resulting in a moist and fabulous tasting chicken.

Romertopf Clay Cookware has recreated this ideal cooking method with a wonderful line of quality clay bakers. Now you too can create healthy, great tasting and easy to prepare meals like the Romans did centuries ago -Without breaking the mold or your bank account!

Romertopf has perfected it’s cookware from the selection of several different, but specific porous clays. The unglazed interior and exterior then allows the Romertopf clay baker to absorb a great deal of water.  (Always remember, when cooking with clay, the pot is first soaked in water before every use). Then, during the cooking process, the heated and fast moving water molecules penetrate the product, thereby cutting the fibers, deposit the spices and keep it moist, delivering you a tastier, moister and more tender result.

The moisture in the unglazed bottom allows you to cook without any additives like water, fats, oils or other liquids - making it ideal for dieters. Of course you can always add all kinds of spices, butter, beer or wines to suit your tastes. Serve it with a nice side of healthy, whole-grain bread baked in your French bread pan , a side of crisp veggies cooked in this lovely vegetable baker and you’ll have the perfect meal.

So what makes Romertopf  clay cookware truly wonderful it that it not only saves nutrients, but also saves time!  Here are the basic steps you need to know if you’re the lucky owner of one of these great pieces of cookware:

1- Simply soak the Romertopf in water for 5-10 minutes, submerse top and bottom. Place the ingredients inside and put the whole pot into a regular, cold oven and set temperature at 400 to 450 degrees and follow the recipes.
