The VitaClay® preserves nutrients allowing food to cook in its natural juices. It
brings food to a boil 2-4 times faster than conventional slow cookers then reduces
the heat to a slow simmer for gourmet perfection. The Automatic Warming Cycle
holds food perfectly cooked for up to 12 hours. It reduces the cooking time by 30-
50%. It also reduces the cooking liquid by 7 - 8% of the original amount per
cooking hour in addition to adequate liquid requirements by each specific type of
food.
Suggestion for initial use: test frequently to see if the contents are covered
with the cooking liquid during cooking, then come to your own decision on the
duration of cooking and amount of liquid desired.
To convert cooking time from conventional slow cooker recipes into VitaClay®
slow cooking: the rule of thumb is if the conventional slow cooking time is set on
‘high’ for 4 hours, or on ‘low’ for 8 hours, the VitaClay® will only take 2 hours.
Most dishes will require no longer than 2 hours to fully cook.
To start the slow cooker immediately:
(a) Place recipe contents in the clay pot and cover with the lid.
(b) Place the clay pot on the cooker’s heating base. Ensure there is no
particle interference to prevent the cooker from cooking evenly.
(c)
Close the cooker cover. You will hear a “click” when it is snapped in.
Plug cord into a 120V AC 60Hz only outlet.
(d) Press the slow cooker function key (6) to select desired function cycle.
When the "default” cooking time indicator flashes, enter the desired
cooking time by pressing “Minute” or “Hour” key while it is flashing.
(e)
Press “Start/cancel” key or within 7 seconds, the slow cooker will “beep,”
start to heat up and the indicator light will illuminate. When the Slow
Cooker reaches the desired cooking time, the system will indicate
cooking is complete and will automatically switch to “Warm.” The LCD
will display the warm time duration.
Note:
1. To steam veggies or fish, place 2 to 4 cups of water in
VitaClay, then place veggies inside a steam tray or bowl;
press “Slow cooking” key, followed by pressing “minute” key
for 30 minutes, continue pressing “Hour” key until “0” hour,
press “Start/Cancel” key to start steam.
Caution:
1. To prevent overflow: do not fill the cooker more than ¾ full of water.
2. Ensure all ingredients are fully cooked before serving. If not, re-program
to cook longer.
