Product Description
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.

 Mother's Day Gift, 2008-06-07
I ordered this product for Mother's Day...I'm still waiting for it to arrive...so is my Mom! This is the only time I have been disappointed with the service from Amazon! Usually I receive my products on time and in great shape. I wouldn't have cared so much except that it is a gift for Mom; she's been wanting one of these for a very long time. Hope it comes soon...before next Mother's Day!

 Bakes fabulous bread, 2008-04-29
I have owned a three-quart Romertopf for years, and it started getting used at least once weekly when I started baking sourdough bread in it--especially No-Knead Sourdough. I followed Dr. Ed Wood's ("Classic Sourdoughs") recommendation of doing the second rising of the dough in the Romertopf. First, I use a non-stick spray in the base, wait until the dough has doubled, then soak the top and bottom in water for 15 minutes--just floating the bottom, of course. Both then go into a cold oven, you set the oven to 450 degrees and come back in 1 hour and 10 minutes. The result is a gorgeous, golden brown loaf from this miniature brick oven!

Clay cooker, 2007-09-30
I heard about clay cookers from Southern Cooking cookbook. I tried one, this 3 qt. size. I liked the results so much, I bought three more in different sizes. Easy to use, wonderful meals in one pot. Easy clean up. I am toying with the idea of buying the "huge" one for my hoilday turkeys and hams. Really, try it you'll like it!

A Kitchen Necessity, 2007-01-10
This is the second Romertopf baker that I've owned. The first one I bought in Europe; it finally cracked after 12 years of service. It is my secret for making the best baked whole chicken ever - crispy on the outside, and moist & tender meat. It keeps the oven clean, since the bird is covered, and the baker is very easy to clean after use. I've only done chicken in it, however other meats can be used. You need to have a Romertopf for each type meat, since the flavors absorb into the clay. The 3 Qt size will fit a 3-5 lb whole chicken nicely with room for vegetables (for instance, a few halved onions, a few carrots, herbs.) Veggies are strictly optional, as the chicken has lots of flavor without them. Bake for 90 min & enjoy!

Easy to use, delicious results, 2006-01-15
A friend told me about clay pots, so I decided to try this one. I normally cook for 2 people. This is a medium sized pot and you could easily cook enough meat for 4+ adults, but if you want to cook the veggies at the same time (highly recommended!), you will need a bigger pot. Last night I roasted a game hen - my first attempt. I adapted a recipe from the Chicken Boulangere in Bridget Jones' "Complete Guide to Claypot Cooking". It was incredibly easy. I soaked the pot while I prepared the veggies. Just put some sliced potatoes, onion, lemon and herbs in the lower half of the pot and season with salt and pepper. Put the game hen in the middle, and then I put some baby carrots and another layer of potato slices around the bird and brushed everything with melted butter. I put the pot in a cold oven, and turned the heat to 450. It was done in less than an hour. As this was my first time, I checked the hen temperature with a meat thermometer - it was a perfect 180F.
One thing to realize is that the pot releases steam. This means that the veggies will not be crisp, unless you take the lid off for the last 10-15mins of cooking to crisp up the top layer. The result was truly delicious, by far the most moist poultry I have eaten for a long time. The potatoes were fabulous too, they absorbed the juice from the meat, giving them a wonderful flavor. Cooking everything in one pot tied all the tastes of the different components together very nicely. My husband loved it too. I will certainly use this pot on a regular basis, and can't wait to try it on chicken, duck, beef and lamb. It is a whole new adventure in the kitchen, which makes it fun! I may even buy the bigger 4 quart model, as it will make entertaining much easier - you can put the whole meal in one pot, put it in the oven and then forget about it until the timer buzzes! From my experience last night, I know I would be serving a tasty meal I could be happy to entertain with.
