- Does the VITACLAY VM7900-8 pressure cook?
- No. It is a slow multi cooker that tops out at 212°F, so it simmers and steams but never builds pressure.
- Can I brown meat in it?
- No. There is no sauté function, so sear meat and soften onions in a pan first, then add them to the clay pot.
- What can I cook in it?
- The seven presets cover soup, stew, rice and yogurt, and the oval clay pot works well for beans, whole chickens and long braises.
- How big is it?
- The pot holds about 4 quarts (1.05 gallons). It fits a whole chicken but is small for large families or big batch cooking.
- How do I clean the clay pot?
- Hand wash the unglazed clay insert with warm water and a soft brush, and let it dry fully before storing. Do not put it in the dishwasher.
- Is it UL listed?
- Yes. The unit carries both UL and ULC listings.
- Where is the VITACLAY VM7900-8 cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $259.00, as of our latest check.
