Benefits of Romertopf Clay Bakeware

A nutritious diet is essential to maintain good health, but even the healthiest foods can loose nutritional value when preparation processes allow valuable nutrients to escape. The Romertopf clay pot is an easy cooking method that seals-in nutrients in and also reduces fats.

During the cooking process, the heated and fast moving water molecules penetrate the product, thereby cutting the fibers, deposit the spices and keep it moist, which delivers to you a tastier, moister and more tender result. Additionally, the moisture in the unglazed bottom allows you to cook without any additives such as water, fats, oils or other liquids, thus, being ideal for dieters. Of course, you can enhance your own recipes with all kinds of spices, butter, beer or wines to suit your tastes. The moist bottom is kept around 220 F, which, under normal situations, avoids burning.

Some of today's most popular cooking techniques can either deplete nutrients in food (as in the case of over-steamed vegetables) or add fat (as in the case of frying meat or fish). Cooking the Romertopf way avoids over-cooking while it eliminates the need for added fats.

Meats can be trimmed of fat and poultry can be cooked without skin, coming out moist, tender, flavorful and browned with no need for basting. Meat, potatoes, rice and vegetables can even be cooked together to make nutritious and flavorful one-pot meals.

Romertopf cooking not only saves nutrients, but also saves time. Simply soak the Romertopf in water for 5-10 minutes, place ingredients inside and put the pot in a cold oven set at 400-450 degrees - then just walk away. Workout with your favorite celebrity, play with the kids, or soak in the tub for 45 minutes to an hour and the Romertopf will cook your meal to perfection.
