CLAY POT CARING
Unglazed natural clay promotes nourishing traditions, preserving all
essential nutrients and vitamins in your foods. It creates excellent
texture and intensifies foods’ flavors. However,
•
Like any ceramic material, clay pots should not be exposed to
sudden temperature changes.
•
The clay pot is considered a consumable part. For optimum
cooking results, keep the clay pot in ‘wet’ cooking conditions to
allow slow simmer and intensify flavors. Frequent dry heating
clay pot causes stress that may lead to crack. To promote
longevity of your cooker and clay pot, keep the pot in ‘wet’
cooking conditions—meaning water-based liquid should always
be present in the clay pot during cooking.
•
If the clay pot is preheated or is hot to the touch, do not add cold
or frozen foods. Do not preheat or dry heat the clay pot. The
clay pot should be at room temperature when adding hot or very
cold ingredients.
•
Do not add cold water if the pot is still hot.
•
Thoroughly wash or sanitize the clay pot and let it dry
completely before store your VitaClay® in a dry and clean
environment.
