DuraHome Roman, 4 l, oval

The DuraHome Roman pot, with a 4L capacity, allows for a traditional method of food preparation. It is made from natural clay which, after soaking in water, allows you to bake in a steam atmosphere. This ensures that meat, fish and vegetables retain their natural flavour, juiciness and maximum nutrients. The oval shape is suitable for preparing meat or poultry. What's more, cooking requires no added fat, making it suitable for preparing healthy and diet-friendly meals.

The Principle of Healthy Steam Baking

The secret of the Roman pot lies in the porosity of its material. Before use, the pot and lid are soaked in cold water and the pores in the ceramic absorb the moisture. During baking in the oven, the water gradually evaporates, creating a steamy environment inside the dish. The food is then braised in its own juices, staying tender and retaining its maximum vitamins and minerals. The result is dishes with a full and authentic flavour that are not dried out.

Correct Use for Best Results

To ensure proper function and a long life for your pot, you must follow a few principles. Always place the pot in a cold, un-preheated oven so that the ceramic heats up gradually and does not crack due to thermal shock. Set the baking temperature to a maximum of 200°C. After use, allow the pot to cool down.

Material and Practical Shape

The pot is made of pure, unglazed natural clay, which allows it to absorb water. The 4-litre oval shape provides enough space to prepare a family lunch, whether it's meat or poultry. It also includes a lid that effectively keeps the steam inside the dish throughout the baking process. The circulation of heat and moisture is even.
