Let’s Get Started!
Remove all packaging from your Multi-Crock & Stock Pot and its accessories prior to use.
Make sure all parts are accounted for (see Parts & Assembly), undamaged and free of debris.
IMPORTANT: CLEAN UNIT THOROUGHLY BEFORE FIRST USE:
•
Hand wash the pot, lid
and “plugs” in warm water with a small amount of detergent
•
Rinse and dry thoroughly before placing in Housing
•
DO NOT submerge the Housing in water, it is ok to gently wipe it with damp cloth
Multi-Crock & Stock Pot Basics
(Important Do’s and Don’ts to ensure success!)
Your VitaClay Multi-Crock & Stock Pot is a faster, easier, truly mess-free way to make
delicious and nutritious batches of soup, jook, chili, stew, or bone broth as well as steamed
vegetables or fish.
Cooking time is significantly shortened when compared to a slow cooker.
There are 4 cooking modes + a keep warm mode: Steam/Fast Cook Mode, Slow Cook Mode,
Porridge Mode and Yogurt Mode. Below we discuss how to select the best mode for your
recipe as well as details on each type of cooking.
Each cooking mode defaults to a cooking time within 7 seconds of selecting a mode. You must
use the Time Keys (“+” & “-") to adjust a custom cooking time.
To get to know your new cooker, please follow the recipes in the booklet provided and
refer often to the
“VitaClay Cooking Chart for VM7800” for food to liquid ratios as well
as approximate cooking times.
This model does evaporate liquid more quickly than other models, so recipes that are primarily
liquid based are recommended. This model does NOT make rice like a rice cooker nor is it
recommended for recipes with less liquid, such as a roast or other “dry cooking”.
The minimum volume for cooking should be at least ¼ of the pot cooking volume.
DO NOT
dry heat, fry or cook ANY foods without liquid in pot. Dry heating can shorten the life
of the pot and Multi-Crock.
DO NOT dry heat to cook to bake or to stir fry foods.
During cooking, the Multi-Crock does automatic temperature adjustments, and you may hear a
‘clicking” sound. This is completely normal.
A slight odor and/or smoke smell may be noticed during the initial use of this appliance. This is
normal with many heating appliances and will not occur after the first few uses.
