Slow Cooking Modes
VitaClay Cookers 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 Warm
mode holds food perfectly cooked for up to 12 hours. You
have two options of slow cooking in your Cooker.
Choose the Soup mode
for soups, broths, saucy beans,
porridge and recipes for larger cuts of meat that also have
larger amounts of liquid. The Soup mode allows you to
select the amount of cooking time up to 4 hours and 50
minutes. Most recipes will cook in 2-3 hours.
