ROMERTOPF ROASTED CHICKEN

One of my most treasured gadgets is a clay Romertopf cooker. It makes the most delicious and moist roasted chicken or turkey I have ever tasted. You have to soak both lid and body of the cooker for 10/15 minutes in cold water before you can use it. It's the steam that produces the cooking medium so no oil or fats are needed making the cooker a very healthful way of cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: Select high-quality meat that is tender and flavorful. Beef, pork, and chicken are popular choices for Romertopf cooking.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Cut vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Root vegetables like carrots and potatoes can be left larger, while softer vegetables like zucchini and tomatoes should be cut smaller.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices add depth of flavor to your Romertopf dish. Thyme, rosemary, garlic, and paprika are all great choices.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pot: It's important to leave enough space in the Romertopf for the ingredients to cook evenly. Overcrowding can lead to steamed vegetables and tough meat.
  • Add Liquid: Most Romertopf recipes call for some type of liquid, such as water, broth, or wine. This helps to create steam and keep the ingredients moist.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Romertopf cooking is all about low and slow cooking. This allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Be Patient: Romertopf cooking takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with undercooked food.
