I LOVE this!!!
By Laura C
Our whole family loves the VitaClay pot. We use it almost every night. It's fast, easy and the food really does taste richer and more flavorful. I'm always thrilled --we kind of gather around the pot-- to lift the lid and see perfect rice or quinoa---

We even shipped one to our daughter in college. She uses it to make millet and quinoa. Her recipe: cook the organic grains with a bit of celtic or mineral salt and add few dried dates and figs on top when it's warming to soften them. She serves it with raw butter, heavy cream and cinnamon.

And it truly is a miracle. I've been trying to perfect quinoa, various brown rices and had given up on ever having good millet until we discovered the VitaClay. Also, I recently found out I can germinate brown rice on the low temperature yogurt setting. We have made yogurt a few times, but we mainly use it for grains, rich soups and bone broth. It's very fast, easy and very little clean-up.

With some experi menting, I've found that rice needs less water when it's soaked/germinated. Same for soaked quinoa---but not millet. Millet require much more water--soaked or not. But after six months, I can eye it and get perfect texture almost every time.

You really can just push a button if you are making grains, stews and soups. Since I soak and sprout my grains, it's taken some note-taking. Also a bit of upfront time to learn how to set the programmable timer. At this point, it is an essential tool in my kitchen. I love the Warming feature! To just leave it on warm--and at the perfect temperature for serving, or to steam-soften dried fruits or veggies.

Today I used my Vita Clay to make a Chinese Remedy for Vitality and Immunity for the winter. It has Astragalus, chinese dried dates and goji berries...and I may even mix it with the beef bone broth I made in the cooker. My pot has been very inspirational --sparking my creativity in the kitchen with herbs, grains and recipes that were so time consuming in past--all now so much faster and easier to do. I've even pulled out my copy of Nourishing Traditions to remind myself--cook real food for real nutrition.

And last but not least, I am glad it is natural unglazed clay-- it's the reason I selected it over other options--I especially did not want to ever have a rice cooker that was aluminum. So I just have to be more careful with it.

I love this thing!
By Rachel A. Olsson
I cannot tell you how much I love this thing. I wanted a rice cooker that didn't have metal and I loved that I could use it as a slow cooker too. I make beans in it: raw, unsoaked: 3 HOURS flat! Seriously. I also love to make rice and veggies in it. I think my original was the 6 cup, which I found just a bit smaller than I'd like, so I recommend getting the bigger one.
When it broke I was so sad to have my favorite appliance out of commission....I wrote the company and am happy to report: they had excellent customer service and sent me a new one. Yay!! I am no longer without and hope to never be again!

Received a used slow cooker??
By RR
I am so bummed! I couldn't wait for my VitaClay to arrive! Unfortunately, it seems I must have received a used one! The bottom of the clay pot was chipped. It was also discoloroed. I'm not sure if that's normal. There was "black dust" in the bottom of the cooker where the pot should rest and there was a "drip" stain on the inside of the clay pot!
I am willing to give it another shot and will be sending the one I have back. I am hoping the one I receive in return will be brand new. I really want this slow cooker rather than another because it does not have lead or cadmium. I've done a lot of research on slow cookers and decided this was the safest one for my family.

UPDATE: I returned my Multi Cooker and received another one yestersay. It appears to be in much better condition. I have not used it yet but will edit my review once I do. For now, I will change my 1 star review to 5 since I understand that things happen. I want to be fair. My true rating c an be determined once I actually cook something in it. I am hopeful!
