DuraHome Roman, 4,5 l, oval

The DuraHome Roman pot allows for the traditional preparation of food, preserving the flavour and nutrients in the ingredients. It is made from natural unglazed clay. Its porous structure enables healthy roasting without added fat. After soaking it in water and gradually heating it in the oven, natural steam is created inside. The steam ensures that meat, fish and vegetables remain juicy and do not dry out.

The Principle of Roasting in Natural Steam

Before the first use and each subsequent roasting, the pot and lid must be immersed in cold water for approximately 30 minutes. The porous clay absorbs moisture, which it then releases as steam during gradual heating in the oven. This way, dishes are prepared in their own juices, without the need to add any fat. The food does not dry out and retains its nutrients and vitamins.

Important Principles for Proper Handling

To ensure its longevity, it is crucial to protect the pot from thermal shock. Always place it in a cold, non-preheated oven and let it heat up gradually along with it. Similarly, never place the hot pot on a cold or wet surface after removing it from the oven. Do not use any chemical detergents or a dishwasher for cleaning. Warm water is sufficient to remove any food residue without damaging the structure of the material.

Advantages of the Natural Material and Oval Shape

Unglazed clay conducts and accumulates heat evenly. This ensures dishes are cooked uniformly from all sides, without the risk of burning in one spot. The oval shape with a 4.5 litre capacity is suitable for roasting larger pieces of meat whole. It also provides enough space for preparing vegetables and baked dishes.
