I recently had dinner at a friend’s house and I couldn’t believe house moist and delicious the roast tasted. When I asked her how she had prepared it to make it so tasty, she told me that the key was that she had cooked it in her clay baker. So when I had time over the weekend I did some research about clay cooking and was surprised to find out how long it had been around and how popular the cooking method is. After doing some more research, I decided to purchase one for myself. I chose a large contemporary clay baker since I liked it’s modern styling and I though the size would best suit my needs.
This classic covered baker has nice smooth lines giving it the modern flair I liked. Holding up to twelve pounds, it measures fifteen inches long and over nine inches wide, making it plenty big enough to cook many of our favorite dishes. What makes clay cooking so special and unique is the way it locks in the natural juices and flavors your your meals. You simply soak the baker for about ten or fifteen minutes in water prior use and place in a cold oven. Then you turn up the heat and cook for the recommended amount of time. You will be amazed at how wonderful your food tastes when you cook your dish in a clay baker.
