Romertopf Clay Pot Cooking
Romertopf clay pot cooking
not only saves nutrients, but also saves time. Simply soak the Romertopf
cookware in water for 5-10 minutes, submersing both top and bottom.
Place the
ingredients inside and put the whole clay pot into a regular, cold oven
and set
temperature at 400 to 450 degrees. Then just walk away and relax for
45-60
minutes. The Romertopf cookware will not need your attention and will
cook your
meal to perfection.
The Romertopf's success is
the selection of several different, but specific porous clays and it's
unglazed
interior and exterior, which allows the Romertopf cookware to absorb a
great
deal of water. The clay pot must be soaked in water before every use.
During
the cooking process, the heated and fast moving water molecules
penetrate the
product, thereby cutting the fibers, depositing the spices and keeping
it
moist, which delivers to you a tastier, moister and more tender result.
Further
the moisture in the unglazed bottom of the clay pot allows you to cook
without
any additives like water, fats, oils or other liquids which makes it
ideal for
dieters. Of course you can enhance your own recipes with all kinds of
spices,
butter, beer or wines to suit your tastes. The moist bottom is kept
around 220
F, which avoids burning, unless you excessively overstay the cooking
time..
Romertopf cookware will
develop a patina with time which adds character to the clay pot.
Cleaning is
simple; fill the top and bottom with water and add baking soda and or
vinegar
and soak for an hour, scrub if needed with a plastic sponge. For deep
cleaning
you can fill top and bottom of the clay pot with water, add baking soda
and
vinegar, put into the oven side by side or at two levels and bring the
water to
a boil for half an hour.
Clay pot cooking has its
origin several thousand years ago when a prepared chicken was covered
with mud
and thrown into the ambers of a fire. When the clay had dried and
hardened, it
was taken out and the mold broken with the result of a fabulous tasting
chicken.
The present use and shapes
were developed in Germany in 1967 by Romertopf, who successfully
marketed the
Romertopf cookware for the past 40 years with over 20 million units sold
worldwide. Check out our selection of Romertopf clay pot cookers and
