BEST PRACTICES
FOLLOW OUR EASY DO’S AND DON’TS FOR SUPERIOR RESULTS AND TO
PROPERLY CARE FOR YOUR CLAY POT.
1.
DO use cooker with adequate liquid
so the food and the
pot will not burn. Most food takes less than 1 to 2 hours to
cook. For first time pot use, DO check-in at halfway point
to make sure there is ample liquid.
2.
Do ADD WARM liquid only
while food is cooking or pot is
hot when additional liquid is needed. NEVER pour cold
liquid into a hot pot.
3.
DO place hot pot on a non-metal pot-holder or dry cloth
.
DO NOT put hot pot on a cold counter or any cold surface
including the sink.
4.
DO NOT cook easy to burn foods
like milk, cheese,
tomatoes, roll-cut and quick oatmeal without enough
liquid or for too long. Use proper setting. See chart.
5.
DO cook roll-cut or steel-cut oatmeal or oat groats
on
"FAST" setting for 30 minutes then let it sit is “WARM”
for
additional 30 minutes for achieve softer texture. Add 4
cups of water per 1 cup of oats or groats.
6.
DO NOT
dry heat, or fry / or cook ANY foods dry---without
liquid in pot.
7.
DO NOT dry heat to cook to bake or to stir fry foods.
8.
DO NOT
overcook bone broth or meat soups. Chicken
broth takes about 2-3 hours. Beef bone broth takes approx
4-6 hours. To release gelatin and extract minerals from
bones, we recommend cooking for appropriate time plus
allow pot to stay on WARM for additional 2-12 hours. With
Vitaclay 2-4 hours at the most is necessary to achieve the
same nutritional values and texture. NO NEED to cook for
24 hours.
