Mineral-rich VitaClay® known as Zisha clay is well known in Asia for its superior cooking qualities. For over 3,000 years, Chinese cultures have appreciated VitaClay® because it absorbs and retains heat superbly - making it the ideal material to create pottery for cooking.

Thanks to its slightly porous nature and low thermal conductivity, VitaClay® absorbs heat while maintaining a steady temperature, so it’s excellent for rice or slow cooking. It brings out rich flavors and texture of food. Additionally, VitaClay® cooking bowl has natural nonstick cooking surface that is unglazed, so no chemicals or aluminum contacting your food!

VitaClay® is one of the healthiest ways to cook rice or
prepare a meal. By stewing foods rather than sautéing
or frying, you can cook dishes that are low in fat and
cholesterol. This translates to delicious meals that are good for you! And VitaClay® can be used for preparing all kinds of cuisines, from Italian and Mexican to American and Asian.

Best of all, the VitaClay®is easy to use. “Set-and-forget” feature is perfect for busy cooks! In just a few simple steps, you can prepare a satisfying and nutritional meal! The cooker has four settings (Rice, Brown Rice, Stew and Soup) with programmable cooking time from 30 minutes up to 12 hours!It’s like having an automatic gourmet chef right in your kitchen!

How is vitaclay different from Pressure cooker and conventional crock pot slow cooker?

A Slow Cooker or Crock Pot can take 8-10 hours to produce decent results. The VitaClay can deliver exquisite results 500% FASTER
VitaClay is not a pressure cooker that will choke out the nutrients and flavors of your food in a puff of steam.
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.
Clay is NOT metal, so there is no metal transfer to food.
Clay is naturally alkaline and slow heat allows a full bouquet of flavors to develop.
VitaClay combines the best of both worlds of crock pot and pressure cooker yet delivered a better end cuisine.

TIPS & SHORTCUTS:

Please note: Cooking in VitaClay must have liquid (water or clear broth) to present at all time or no "dry cooking" should be done in any VitaClay pot.

HOW DO I APPLY THE TIME CONVERSION FROM TRADITIONAL SLOW COOKER RECIPES INTO VITACLAY SMART ORGANIC MULTICOOKER RECIPES?

To convert cooking time from conventional slow cooker recipes into VitaClay ® slow cooking, the rule of thumb is if the conventional slow cooking time is set on ‘high’ for 4 hours (divided by 2), or on ‘low’ for 8 hours (divided by 4), the VitaClay® Rice/Slow Cooker multicooker will only take 2 hours.
How long does this cooker cook chicken? 2 hours for 3-4 pounds of a whole free range organic chicken. Or 30 to 40 minutes for 1 pounds of breast or bone less chicken.

How long should I cook bone broth? Chicken soup or bone broth for 2 to 3 hours on "Soup" setting. Beef bone broth for 4 to 5 hours on "Soup" setting.

vita clay

We love it!! perfect rice every time and so easy to use. It arrived quickly too.
We are very impressed. Thank you

It is my second one <3

I had a VitaClay for more than 10 years and last week when I was bringing it back from a potcluck outside family gathering it fell out of the car trunk and desappeared on the road. :P
Of course I needed to buy a new one and loved the new features and clay color . I use it everyday, for soups, stews or only rice..

Great cooker + great company

I really like cooking rice in a clay pot instead of an aluminum container. It makes great rice and i feel much better about eating it. Also- VitaClay was exceptional in quickly replacing my first order which UPS broke in shipping. thanks!

We love VitaClay

We LOVE our VitaClay cooker and use if daily. We are vegan and keep about 10 to 15 different kind of dried beans/legumes in bulk and get our weekly box of produce and whatever we through in the VitaClay, it comes out SO good! Always a delicious stew that we eat for lunch and dinners. We also cook rice in it, cook potatoes for potato salad, breakfast grains like amaranth and millet and add raisins, we use it for just about everything. Ours has been going strong for years- we heard about you and bought ours from a booth at the SF VegFest years ago. The other day, it wasn't working and we were so bummed, but not surprised as it is on pretty much constantly, so we bought a new one recently, but turns out that it was actually the kitchen plug that had a short in it! Our original VitaClay is fine! Still going strong. But we decided to keep the new one and put it in the closet so we will have it if this one ever really does stop working. It's really a fantastic product, thank you so much for making them! We don't know what we would do without it!

Larger version is even better!

We had the smaller version for almost 10 years and upgraded to the 4 quart. Still is an amazing cooker and look forward to making larger dishes in the future.
