Men's Journal names VitaClay one of the best alternatives to the Instant Pot!
"Instant Pots are one of the hottest kitchen appliances on the market. And their do-it-all nature makes them a particular favorite of busy adults and one-pot meal fans—especially fitness enthusiasts, including athletes and runners. But the Instant Pot isn’t the only player in the multicooker game. Plenty of other multicookers work just as well, and many for a comparable price.
VitaClay Smart Organic Multicooker
Vitaclay contains an unglazed, organic clay pot that intensifies flavors, amplifies taste, and seals in essential nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins. The clay pot acts as a seasoning chamber, allowing you to cook dishes that are low in fat and cholesterol without added oil or grease. It’s aluminum-, teflon-, and lead-free; no non-stick chemicals contact your food.
More of a steamer, yogurt-, and rice-maker than a meat cooker, if you want delicious organic vegetarian and grain meals, this might be the multicooker for you.
PROS:
-Organic, pure clay is 99 percent free of impurities and lead.
-In 2-, 6-, and 8-cup sizes, it looks great on the table, too.
CONS:
-This might have been our overall top choice but for the delicate nature of clay. Users say the pot is rather fragile; follow instructions closely.
