The VitaClay rice cooker is a good alternative to other rice cookers which come with a teflon coated pot. With the increase in the carcinogens in our environment, it is nice to finally have the option of cooking in an old-fashioned clay pot without giving up the convenience of an electric cooker.
The VitaClay rice cooker can also be used as a slow cooker to cook beans and stews. The control panel is easy to use and is pre-programmed to cook rice, stew and soup. You can also increase or decrease the cooking time depending on what you are cooking.
To test the VitaClay, we made two Indian vegan dishes. One was a white pea and potato curry and the other was a mixed vegetable rice. Both dishes turned out well. To avoid ingesting the BPA from canned food, we used dried peas that were soaked overnight. After the initial prep work on the stove top, we used the stew function to cook the curry. At the end of the cooking time, the peas were buttery, fragrant and were neither over or undercooked. For the vegetable rice, we used the rice feature and again the rice was well cooked with each grain separate. After cooking, cleaning the clay pot was effortless and easy.
If you are in the market for a slow cooker or a rice cooker that does not contain harmful carcinogens like teflon, the VitaClay perfectly fits the bill.
Here are the recipes for the Pea and potato curry and the Vegetable rice.
