Info: Classic unglazed steam roaster for the Oven - A medium Red Clay Romertopf red clay pottery baking dish with lid- ready to use, casserole, bakeware, baking dish etc
Like all Roman clay pots, the roaster uses the tried-and-tested steam cooking principle: 
The lid is soaked in water before use, allowing the fine pores of the clay to retain water. 
When heated, a natural layer of steam forms inside, ensuring gentle cooking. The food remains juicy and evenly cooked entirely without the addition of fat or oil.
The natural clay distributes heat optimally and prevents hot spots, ensuring even browning. 
This makes every dish from tender meat and aromatic vegetables to homemade bread reliably and conveniently a success.
Beautiful Beef roasts or Full Chicken or any roasting dish for the large oven, restaurant, catering service, hospitality industry size. 
Large sourdough bread baking dish.
Oven Safe.
Based on the traditional Roman cooking method in the clay pot, the so-called "Roman pot" was launched in the 70s by Römertopf Keramik GmbH.
Cooking in a clay pot has a tradition in many country kitchens. 
In the Römertopf it is possible to cook food without the addition of liquid or grease, valuable ingredients are therefore fully preserved.
Condition: Very Good, previously used - no chips, cracks or crazing on the roaster, the pattern is in very good condition. 
Some minor scuff marks from usage, internally very good.
Natural darkening of the clay from oils and juices is common and considered a sign of a "seasoned" pot.
Hand wash only with hot water and baking soda, avoiding strong detergents, as they can absorb into the porous clay.
Due to the size of the pot and potential breakage this is a Collect Only Item.
