The Romertopf clay pot is an "easy cooking method that seals nutrients in and also cuts down on fats.

Some of today's most popular cooking techniques can either deplete nutrients in food (as in the case of over-steamed vegetables) or add fat (as in the case of frying meat or fish).

Cooking the Römertopf way avoids over-cooking while it eliminates the need for added fats.

Meatloaf

One of the best main dishes to cook in a clay pot is meatloaf. You can use the same ingredients that you would if you were making the meatloaf in a casserole dish, but you may have to bake the loaf a little longer to solidify all the ingredients. Before you begin making your meatloaf, soak your clay pot in water for at least 15 minutes so that the flavors of the meatloaf won't be stifled with other foods you've prepared in the pot before. To make basic meatloaf, you'll need:

• 1 lb. ground beef


• 1 lb. ground pork


• 2 eggs


• 1 cup breadcrumbs


• 1 onion, chopped


• 2 cloves garlic, chopped


• 1/2 cup iced water


• 1/2 cup ketchup


• 2 Tbs. brown sugar


• 1 tsp. cider vinegar

Mix all ingredients except for ketchup, brown sugar, and cider vinegar in a large bowl. Mix salt, pepper, or other seasoning to taste. Pat the ingredients into the clay pot, then mix remaining ingredients and spread on top of the meatloaf. Bake for about an hour and a half. Place in cold oven and then set oven to 400 degrees for cooking.
