OVERVIEW

HOW IS VITACLAY DIFFERENT FROM PRESSURE COOKER AND CONVENTIONAL CROCK POT SLOW COOKER?

1. A Slow Cooker or Crock Pot can take 8-10 hours to produce decent results. The VitaClay can deliver exquisite results 500% FASTER
2. VitaClay is not a pressure cooker that will choke out the nutrients and flavors of your food in a puff of steam.
3. The VitaClay lives perfectly in the space in between. Slight pressure at lower temperature, check in on results like a chef and add produce at the end to ensure freshness and crisp bright colors. You can’t do this in a pressure cooker easily.
4. Clay is NOT metal, so there is no metal transfer to food.
5. Clay is naturally alkaline and slow heat allows a full bouquet of flavors to develop.
6. VitaClay combines the best of both worlds of crock pot and pressure cooker yet delivered a better end cuisine.
