VitaClay Broth Cooking Chart
*Cookers automatically default to warm setting (160 degrees) for up to 12 hours after cooking. For those
who prefer longer broth cooking time, allow the cooker to continue cooking (low simmer) on the warm
setting for 8+ hours after the cycle ends. This may maximize nutrient extraction from bones.

Note: Because longer cooking times for bone broth extract both nutrients and toxins from bones, it is
advisable to use bones with as few toxins present as possible: therefore, we recommend you always use
organic or pastured bones when making bone broth.
VitaClay Beans Cooking Chart
It is recommended that all beans, legumes and grains be soaked prior to cooking to improve digestibility
and increase the available nutrient absorption. To soak, cover with filtered water and a bit of salt and/or
whey, and allow to sit in the clay pot for several hours. Then drain the liquid and rinse before adding
cooking liquid and heat. Most VitaClay recipes indicate pre-soaked beans. Dry beans require more liquid
and longer time to cook.
