Clay bakers

I'm open to suggestions about all varieties of protein, ehBeth. (In case you were wondering if I'm still strictly vegetarian, as I was for years.) I do still eat vegetarian a lot, though. I'm pretty easy about what I'm prepared to cook & eat these days. As long as it looks do-able (and is vaguely healthy ).

I've done some (basic) chicken dishes in my claypot & am open to other suggestion. Something a bit different to my own very limited efforts to date, to see what's possible.

I used to have (back in my big kitchen days!) a Romertopf designed & exclusively used for cooking fish. (the "embedded" odor, ya know! :wink: ) and would prefer not to cook fish in my one general purpose pot.

bumping this up to remind myself to buy a chicken.

I'm doing the turkey in my clay pot as we speak!

Save me some leftovers, please!

Set and I were talking about it being the season for roast chicken last night.

Maybe I'll get one in for the weekend. It'd be a nice treat, and we could do pretend Murrican Thanksgiving.

Dinner. Tonight!

good stuff eh

I found a Mexican variant and have used it a coupla times. Good results.

yum

almost cool enough here to start using the oven again

I'm going for the long soak. It's been...... awhile since it was used. I don't know why I don't use it more. Good stuff, indeed!

I was thinking that since it's not easy to get venison in town here, I want to try cooking goat in the clay pot sometime. I think it's got potential.

I've never cooked goat, but it would be good that way. I've had it in Greek and Indian restaurants in various ways, but never cooked it myself. Lamb would be good too, I think.

ah, the famous Lamb you can eat with a spoon! Tai Chi posted a slow cooker recipe for that - it should be modifiable for the clay pot.

My mother used to try to pass off mutton as lamb. It might have worked if she'd used a clay pot or slow cooker.

Glad to see this thread again. I covet a watchacallit, romertopf, at least partly because I like clay stuff, and then re the way it works..

that would be a miracle.
