CLAY POT CARING
Unglazed natural clay pot promotes nourishing tradition preserving all essential nutrients and vitamins in your foods. It creates excellent texture and intensifies food’s flavors. However,

• Like any ceramic material, clay pots should not be exposed to sudden temperature changes.
• The clay pot is considered a consumable part. For optimum cooking results, keep the clay pot in a ‘wet’ cooking condition allow a low simmer, and intensify flavors. Frequent dry heating of clay pots causes stress that may lead to cracks. To promote the longevity Of your cooker and clay pot, keep the pot in ‘wet’ cooking condition.
• If the clay pot is preheated or is hot to the touch, do not add cold or frozen foods. Do not preheat or dry heat the clay pot. The clay pot should be at room temperature when adding hot ingredients.

USING THE RICE COOKER

Rinsing Rice:
To make great rice we recommend rinsing your plain, raw rice before cooking. If the rice is flavored or enriched, or the package clearly states not to rinse, however, doing so will wash away infused flavors. Try rinsing your plain rice in a strainer or bowl for best results.
The Rice Cooking Function Key (5) cycles between regular rice, brown rice, sweet rice, and reheated rice options. Each option has a different microcomputerized cooking mode which enables the cooker to determine the cooking time automatically based on the rice option you choose. Cooking time setting is not required.

Assumed after rinsing the rice, we recommend water-to-rice ratios are:

1. For white rice (sushi rice, jasmine rice, etc.), place slightly over I part of water per part of rice, and adjust the ratio as needed;
2. For sweet rice, place slightly less than I part of water per part of rice, adjust the ratio as needed;
3. For Brown rice, 1.5 part of water per part of brown rice, adjust the ratio as needed;
4. The ratio of water to quinoa is 2 parts of water per part of quinoa. Choose on Regular (white) rice setting.

Note :

1. If you decide not to rinse the rice, an additional quarter of a cup of water per cup of rice would need to be added.
2. To achieve the best cooking results, after the sound of the ‘beep’, let the rice stay in “Warm” mode for at least an additional 15 to 20 minutes. And then serve
3. If you plan to keep the rice in WARM for much longer than 30 minutes, we recommend adding a little more water as clay retains the heat and absorbs moisture over the course to avoid rice drying on the bottom.

TO Start rice cooking immediately:

• Rinse rice thoroughly and place it in the clay pot with the desired amount of water Cover with a clay lid.
• Place the clay pot on the cooker’s heating element. Ensure the heating surface is clean: any particle interference could prevent the cooker from cooking evenly, can cause a burning smell, and can even cause the pot to crack. If there is food residue on the heating element, wipe it with a damp sponge or magic eraser sponge until it is clean. Do not fill with or immerse in water.
• Close the cooker cover. You will hear a “click” when it is snapped in. Plug the cord into a 120V AC 60Hz-only outlet.
• Press the rice cooking function key (5) to select the type of rice.
• Press the “Starb/cancel” key or within 7 seconds, the light indicator will turn on to indicate cooking cycle has started;
• A few minutes before the cooking cycle completes, a “beep” will sound to indicate that the cooker will automatically be switched to the ‘Keep Warm” state and then the e is ready to serve.
• For the best results, once the rice is cooked, allow it to remain in a “warm” setting for 10-20 minutes before serving. It is then recommended to push the red “cancel” key to turn off the heat. If you plan to keep the rice in WARM mode for much longer than 30 minutes, we recommend adding a little extra water as clay retains the heat and absorbs moisture over the course to avoid rice drying on the bottom. Rice or other food can be left in a closed cooker for several hours with no power and will stay warm, due to clay’s natural thermal retention.

To program rice cooking at the desired time clock:

• Repeat steps (a) to (c) above.
• Press Delay Timer Function Key (l).
• Make sure the clock is set at present.
• Press the “Hour /Minute” function keys (2) until reached at the desired cooking time.
• Press the Start / Cancel key, or within a few seconds, the LCD will display the pre-programmed time. The cooker will begin cooking at the desired time clock. A “beep” will sound to indicate the cooking cycle has started and the cooking indicator light will turn on.
• A few minutes before cooking is done, a “beep” will sound to indicate that the cooker has automatically switched to “Warm” mode and the Warm/Cancel light will turn on. Once the cooker enters the Warm mode, the rice is ready to serve.

Brown Rice and Ouick Serving Tips

A whole grain of rice has several layers, but only the outermost layer (the hull) is removed to produce what we call brown rice. This process is the least damaging to the nutritional value of the rice and avoids the unnecessary loss of nutrients that occurs with further processing.

• Rinse brown rice at least three times in cold water. Stir with hands in a circular motion
• Drain and place into a clay pot
• Follow the instructions for “Using the Rice Cooker”

Cook the brown rice in mushroom or vegetable stock, leftover vegetable- steaming water, or with your favorite herbs. Other variations are to add cashews, cranberries, raisins, apple chunks, mango cubes, mushrooms, garlic, and onions. Sauté these ingredients in Olive Oil and mix them into the prepared rice. Cooking the rice in mushroom stock and then mixing it with mushrooms makes a flavorful dish.
You can turn any rice dish bright yellow by adding a teaspoon of turmeric. This doesn’t change the flavor, just the color.

Reheating Cold Rice
Previously cooked rice can be reheated in the cooker. If the clay pot has been in the refrigerator, be sure to allow it to return to room temperature. Then place the pot inside the housing with the previously cooked rice, add a few tablespoons of water, cover, and select the “reheat rice” option. Break up the cold rice in the clay pot and add hot water as desired to speed up the reheating process.

Quick Serving Ideas

1. Heat cooked rice with milk or soymilk. Add in cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and honey for a delicious rice pudding.
2. Make homemade vegetable sushi rolls by wrapping brown rice and your favorite vegetables in sheets of well-moistened nori.
3. Use rice leftovers for cold rice salads: great for on-the-go lunches. Be creative and add in chicken or tofu with your favorite vegetables, nuts, herbs, and spices.
4. Serve beans and rice accompanied by the vegetables Of your choice for a simple yet delicious lunch or dinner entrée.
5. Rice as a side dish need not be served plain – spruce it up with the toppings of your choice. Some favorites include nuts, sesame seeds, sautéed mushrooms and scallions
6. Place rice and chopped vegetables in pita bread, top with your favorite dressing, and enjoy a quick and easy lunch.

USING THE SLOW COOKER

The VitaClay@ preserves nutrients allowing food to cook in its natural juices. It brings food to a boil 2-4 times faster than conventional slow cookers then reduces the heat to a slow simmer for gourmet perfection. The Automatic Warming Cycle holds food perfectly cooked for up to 12 hours. It reduces the cooking time by 30-50%. It also reduces the cooking liquid by 7 – 8% of the original amount per cooking hour in addition to adequate liquid requirements for each specific type of food. Suggestion for initial use: test frequently to see if the contents are covered with the cooking liquid during cooking, then come to your own decision on the duration of cooking and the amount of liquid desired.

To convert cooking time from conventional slow cooker recipes into slow cooking: the rule of thumb is if the conventional slow cooking time is set on ‘high’ for 4 hours, or on ‘low’ for 8 hours, the VitaClay@ will only take 2 hours. Most dishes will require no longer than 2 hours to fully cook.
To start the slow cooker immediately:

• Place the recipe contents in the clay pot and cover it with the lid.
• Place the clay pot on the cooker’s heating base. Ensure there is no particle interference to prevent the cooker from cooking evenly.
• Close the cooker cover. You will hear a “click” when it is snapped in. Plug the cord into a 120V AC 60Hz-only outlet.
• Press the slow cooker function key (6) to select the desired function cycle. When the “default” cooking time indicator flashes, enter the desired cooking time by pressing “the Mithe nute” or “Hour” key while it is flashing.
• Press the “Start/cancel” key or within 7 seconds, the slow cooker will “beep,” start to heat up and the indicator light will illuminate. When the Slow Cooker reaches the desired cooking time, the system will indicate cooking is complete and will automatically switch to “Warm.” The LCD will display the warm time duration.

Note:
To steam veggies or fish, place 2 to 4 cups of water in VitaClay, then place veggies inside a steam tray or bowl; press the “Slow cooking” key, followed by pressing the “minute” key for 30 minutes, and continue pressing the “Hour” key until “0” hour, press “Start/Cancel” key to start steam.

Caution:

1. To prevent overflow: do not fill the cooker more than 3/4 full of water.
2. Ensure all ingredients are fully cooked before serving. If not, re-program to cook longer.
3. If the Stew/Soup cycle is too thick and causes the cooker to overheat, the cooker will give a warning “beep” and switch to the Warm cycle. You can cancel the operation by pressing the Warm/Cancel function key (4).
4. DOD add any liquid to a hot clay pot, as it can crack the clay pot or lid.
5. Do not place a clay pot or lid on a cold surface.

To program the slow cooker to cook at the desired time clock:

1. Make Sure the clock is set to the present time.
2. Repeat steps (a) to (d) above.
3. Press the Delay timer function key (l).
4. Select the “Hour” and “Minute” function keys (2) to the desired time to cook.
5. Press the “Start/Cancel” key, or within 7 seconds, the LCD will display the pre-programmed time. The cooker will begin cooking at the desired time clock. A “beep” will sound to indicate the cooking cycle has started and the cooking indicator light will turn on.
   Recommendations: When making porridges/oatmeal, (l) set the minimum cooking time to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom (normally around 20 minutes); (2) let the cooker cover open during cooking to prevent overflow; (3) Do not add any cold or hot liquid during cooking that may cause clay pot crack. Approximate 2-3 cups water per cup oatmeal.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Like any ceramic material, clay pots should not be exposed to sudden temperature changes.
• The clay is considered red to consume parts. For optimum cooking results, keep the clay pot in ‘wet’ cooking conditions to allow a slow simmer and intensify flavors. Frequent dry heating of clay pots causes stress that may lead to cracks. To promote longevity Of your cooker and clay pot, keep the pot in ‘wet’ cooking condition.
• If the clay pot is preheated or is hot to the touch, do not add cold or frozen foods
• Do not preheat or dry heat the clay pot. The clay pot should be at room temperature when adding hot ingredients.
• Do uses use cold water if the pot is still hot?
• Thoroughly wash or sanitize the clay pot and let it dry completely before storing your VitaClay@ in a dry and clean environment.
• For general washing, wait until the clay pot cools. Then wash it in warm water with a very small amount of dishwashing liquid and rinse thoroughly.
• Do not use abrasive scouring powders or steel wool. Plastic brush or nylon scrub pads can be used as needed.
• For hard-to-remove residue or to do a thorough cleaning, allow the clay pot to soak overnight in the sink with water and 1/4 Cup baking soda. Wash using a brush or nonmetallic scrubbing pad. Follow this treatment after cooking fish or foods with strong seasoning.
• After washing, dry thoroughly and store with the lid inverted upside down in the bottom, ideally with a towel between the layers. Avoid storing the cooker with the lid sealed because it may become moldy if not dried and cleaned properly.
• If the cooker should become moldy, make a paste Of baking soda and water, cover the cooker with the paste, and allow it to dry. When the paste is dry, rinse with water and dry well.
• If clay pot pores become clogged, boil the pot to remove debris. Use a roaster with a rack and add tepid water. Place the pot bottom on the rack and bring water to a boil. Boil for 30 minutes to remove the debris. Repeat doing the top if necessary.
• Some cooking residue may fill into the venting holes Of the clay lid itself, or around the clay lid. To clean, use warm water to wash the clay lid, and use a damp cloth to wipe the silicon vent gasket and the large silicone ring (being careful not to remove it).

Caution:
When washing the clay pot, it is recommended that a soft cloth or pad be placed between the pot and the ink to protect the pot from hitting the sink.

A remedy to remove burnt food from the bottom of the pot-
Put 1 Cup water, 1/4 vinegar, 1 TP of baking soda, and turn the cooker on the Slow—cooking -stew setting, and let it on for 20 minutes. If you need to boil it for 40 minutes, you need to double the ingredients, especially water to prevent dry heating that causes stress on a clay pot.

CLEANING OUTSIDE OF COOKER UNIT
The outside of the cooker may be wiped clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Grease may be removed with diluted ammonia. Do not let the Control Panel or any electrical mechanisms within the unit get wet.

CLEANING INSIDE OF COOKER UNIT
If an object becomes stuck to the heat element lightly rub it off using fine sandpaper #600 or steel wool. Then wipe with a damp cloth.

How to Operate the New VitaClay@ Yogurt Maker Option

Ever wanted to make your yogurt but thought it would be too hard? It couldn’t be easier with the new yogurt maker built right into your new VitaClay@ multicooker

1. Place 32 Oz to 48 Oz Of fresh, pasteurized milk into a high-sided saucepan (l Cup Of milk makes about a Cup Of yogurt).
2. Heat the milk until it just starts frothing (but before it boils) or measure it: use a cooking thermometer and watch until it is heated to 1800F (820C). Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the milk to cool to lukewarm. To accelerate the cooling down, place the saucepan in cold water.
3. When the temperature reaches 1 IOOF (430C), you may add your yogurt culture.
4. Culture may either be bought freeze-dried or you can use plain yogurt from the store or a previous homemade batch. If not using a thermometer, wait until the pot is just cool enough to touch with your bare hands (still very warm). Pour the milk into a small clean cup and add 2-3 Tablespoons of plain yogurt then stir culture in to distribute it evenly. Mix the room-temperature milk well with the smooth mixture and pour into the VitaClay pot.
5. Place the clay pot into the VitaClay cooker and push the “Yogurt” button. Set it for 6 to 8 hours. Wait for the beep and it will begin the incubation. Place the clay lid on the pot and close up the cooker.
6. Once the yogurt is done, dispense the yogurt into your containers or leave it in the clay pot to refrigerate for 4 hours before using. Store in the refrigerator and use within 4-5 days.
7. Greek yogurt: The yogurt will thicken further in the refrigerator. After more whey is separated from the yogurt, it will become creamy Greek yogurt or yogurt cheese.
8. You might use a strainer or cheese cloth to parate more of the whey from the yogurt. This will help thicken more.
9. Feel free to flavor with fruit, honey, or vanilla beans, and enjoy!
10. Don’t forget to save a small amount to make the next batch!

Note:

1. 6 to 8 hours is best. The longer the yogurt coagulates beyond that time, the sourer the taste becomes.
2. Water may condense on the lid of the cooker. When you remove the lid, take care not to drip any accumulated water into the finished yogurt.
3. Mark the date you made the yogurt Or the date the yogurt will expire ( 1O days). Chill them in the refrigerator for a minimum of three hours before eating.
4. THE YOGURT MAKER SHOULD REMAIN PERFECTLY STILL DURING THE MATURING PROCESS. DO NOT REMOVE THE APPLIANCE AS THIS WILL AFFECT THE FIRMNESS OF THE YOGURT

CHOOSING THE MILK

The following types of milk may be used: Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1%, or fat-free), Powdered milk, Long-life UHT sterilized milk, and Soy milk. Be sure to use UHT soy milk which contains one of the following ingredients: fructose, honey, or malt. These ingredients are necessary for fermentation and you will not succeed if none are available in the milk.
Fresh milk must be boiled and, if necessary, filtered before use. The taste and texture of the yogurt varies according to the milk and yogurt starter selected.

UNFLAVORED YOGURT
The taste and texture of the yogurt varies according to the milk and yogurt starter selected. You should experiment with milk of various fat contents to determine which one you prefer.
YOGURT FLAVORED AFTER COOKING
You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavorings, fruit, or other ingredients to taste just before eating.
YOGURT FLAVORED WITH JAM AND JELLY, (OR HONEY, OR SYRUP)
Ingredients:

• 4-5 tablespoons of jam and jelly, (or honey or syrup)
• 5 tablespoons Of unflavored yogurt or I tablespoon Of culture 32 oz of milk

Heat the milk until it boils (820C-1800F), for 1-2 minutes, and start to climb the sides of the saucepan. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the milk to cool lukewarm (430C-1 IOOF). To accelerate the cooling down, place the saucepan in cold water. Warm the jam and jelly (or honey or syrup) over low heat. Add half of the milk and stir until smooth; let cool again to (430C-l I OOF), stir together the culture, jam, or jelly, and remaining milk until smooth. Add the jam or jelly (or honey or syrup) while stirring.
