               Clay Baker Starter Set

Consumer: Gourmet Cooks

The purpose of Romertopf Clay Baker Starter Set is to introduce gourmet cooks to the ancient art of cooking in a clay pot.

Pros: Cooking in the Romertopf Clay Baker Starter Set was an eye-opening experience. I found out that clay pot cooking is an ancient way of cooking that has been used in many cultures. The food was positively delicious...not to mention healthy!

The process was interesting. The pot had to be soaked in water until it was completely saturated. The food was then seasoned and placed in the cooker. The full cooker was then placed in a cold oven and the heat turned on. As advised the food was cooked about 50 degrees hotter than it would normally have been cooked. It had to cook a lot longer, as well, but the wait was worth the taste.

Clay pot cooking is something that I will continue to do and enjoy for many years to come...I may never go back to the old (or maybe newer?) ways again.

Cons: Clay pot cooking isn’t for everybody...not even all gourmet cooks will want to cook in a clay pot. Cooking is accomplished in a very different way from ordinary cooking and there are precautions that must be taken.
