Cooking in clay pots is not a new idea--it's been around for several thousand years, though today's finely-crafted clay cooking vessels have certainly come a long way from that moment in history when early man covered a chicken with mud and stuck it into the embers of a fire to roast. One thing hasn't changed. When the clay shell was broken and the chicken removed, way back when, it was juicy and delicious--just as meats cooked in clay pots are today.
Clay pots not only cook foods perfectly, they're actually healthier than other cooking methods. Clay seals in nutrients--eliminating the need for added fats--and carries seasonings deeper into the food, meaning you can use less salt, making clay pot cooking an ideal for low-fat and low-sodium diets.
Cooking in clay pots is an easy and convenient way of preparing a meal. An unglazed clay pot maintains the level of moisture needed for optimal cooking, meaning you can place an entire meal's meat and veggies in the pot, put it in the oven and go do something else for 45 minutes to an hour while dinner cooks, without worrying that it's going to scorch or cook dry.
The secret is the porous clay. You simply immerse both pot and cover in water and let it soak for ten minutes, before placing the food into the pot, then put it into the cold oven--no pre-heating! All the ingredients for your complete meal can be placed in one pot. When it's done, simply take it out of the oven and serve right from the pot. Today's clay pots are attractively designed to go from the oven to the table.
Romertopf has been creating high quality clay cooking pots in Germany for forty years. They use a variety of porous clays that will absorb a great deal of water. During the cooking process, fast-moving, super-heated water molecules penetrate the foods in the pot, depositing spices from the surface deep within the food. This means you can use less salt--making clay cooking pots ideal for people on reduced sodium diets. Foods stay moist and flavorful while they cook, from the moisture retained in the unglazed bottom of the pot, and the unique clay cooking process seals nutrients within the food, rather than boiling them out.
The clays used to create Romertopf's natural terra cotta pots are carefully selected and strictly controlled to ensure they are lead and cadmium free. Many cookbooks are available for Romertopf cooking, including healthy low sodium and low fat recipes. The pots come in all sizes--from the smallest, for cooking 2-5 pounds, to the "maxi", a large pot that can hold up to a 17-pound turkey.
