Product Description
Casserole Baker
Amazon.com Review
Cooking chicken Tetrazzini in the oven or on the barbeque often requires frequent basting and attention to prevent a dry and bland meal. Meanwhile, frying the chicken in a skillet necessitates the use of fatty cooking oil. Each year, the dilemma of cooking juicy, savory meats without the toil and fat inspires a plethora of fresh tools and appliances. Despite all this new-fangled technology, the most effective solution was born during the Roman Empire era: the clay pot. Reco International Romertopf has launched the renaissance of clay-pot cooking with quality products, such as this baker. The smallest model available holds 2 to 5 pounds of food, or 1-1/2 quarts, to accommodate one or two people. In addition to succulent meat, the baker adapts for Shepard's pie or an apple crisp. The baker features the classic Romertopf design. The porous clay construction is free of lead, cadmium, and other impurities. Two shaped handles enable baker transportation. A lid fits on top to contain steam and nutrients. Prior to each use, soak the baker for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the clay to absorb moisture. While cooking, the baker releases this moisture to infuse the dish's natural juices for greater flavor and tenderness. Do not preheat the oven when cooking with Romertopf as sudden temperature shifts may result in irreparable damage. Place the filled baker instead in a cold oven for gradual heating. Wash the baker with warm water and sponge and dry immediately. Avoid hardy detergents that may permeate the clay for negative flavor. The baker's interior will stain over time, a reflection of natural seasoning. The baker comes with a limited guarantee. Read all enclosed materials with care before the baker's initial use. Made in Mexico, the baker measures 12 by 6 by 8-1/2 inches and weighs 5 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

 Small Romertopf, for great flavor November 7, 2008

Clay bakers like this were used during the millenia, ans still are great for today! Trully a time tested product! Why is called Romertopf? Because Romans used to cook in those. (Romertopf="Roman pot" in German).
I used Romertopfe for years, this one is small, good for two people.
You may consider various sizes for different purposes.
This baker, in case you are not familiar with, goes for 5-10 min in water, in order to soak it, and than to oven, but not preheated. The temperature needs to raise gradually. Food cooks in own juices, if you choose so but you can also cook stews, of course.
The food cooked in Romertopf has amazing flavor, there is truly a difference in dishes cooked the contemporary way, and in this baker. I recommend this product highly.

The item was returned because it was deemed to be too small for the intended purpose. The search for another product goes on.

Never thought I'd really enjoy cooking but, this product sure makes it fun (and EASY!). A friend would bring over chicken stew made in one of these bakers that was absolutely the BEST we'd ever eaten. I couldn't believe it would work as easily as she described (it sure does!).
Only wish I would have purchsed a larger one. A decent size chicken pretty much fills up this size baker...and I tend to overdo things with the veggies too. Makes a good-size meal for 2-3 people.
Clean-up is also a breeze - use a stiff dish brush, hot water and let it air-dry. MY kinda cleanup!!

Was not what I ordered. I wanted the one that matched my old chicken-sized cooker but received a clay baker that might fit a cornish game hen or two. If the range was 2-5 pounds, then I certainly got the 2 pound one. But it works well enough for pork, so I've kept it. I will not order from this company again, however. I detest duplicity.
