Know before you buy
The VitaClay pot is crafted from high-density, lead-free natural stoneware that is fired at 2400°F. Unlike metal inserts, this material is toxin-free and provides superior heat retention, which helps preserve nutrients and enhances the natural flavors of your ingredients.
The VitaClay utilizes a high-efficiency heating system that allows it to cook up to five times faster than conventional slow cookers. By reaching optimal temperatures more quickly while maintaining consistent heat, it can prepare stews and soups in as little as 30 minutes.
The stoneware is durable and shock-resistant up to 500°F, but it should be handled with the same care as any high-quality ceramic cookware. It is naturally non-stick and easy to wipe clean, though it is recommended to wash it by hand rather than using a dishwasher to preserve the integrity of the clay.
Yes, the yogurt setting is designed for low-temperature cooking, which is ideal for fermentation or delicate recipes that require gentle, consistent heat. It provides the necessary environment for culturing yogurt or preparing other probiotic-rich foods.
Yes, once the selected cooking cycle is complete, the VitaClay automatically switches to a warm setting. This keeps your food at a safe, ready-to-eat temperature for up to several hours without overcooking it.
Absolutely. The VitaClay is specifically optimized for bone broth, as the stoneware's heat retention helps extract gelatin and collagen efficiently. You can achieve a rich, nutrient-dense broth in about 10 hours using the dedicated slow cook setting.
