I had one years ago an it was fun for a while. Like anything else that one buys
it soon goes to the back of the cabinet at one point and becomes replaced by something else which does not involve so much work. As I recall, you had to soak it first. place into a cold oven, and avoid sudden temperature changes. I used it for pot roasts, and dishes which included both proteins and veggies. Then there is the clean-up. If your new pot did not have instructions, here is a link to the maintenance of the pot. Have fun with it! I really did use mine a lot and it was fun to experiment with.

Any recipe designed for a slow cooker can be cooked in your Romertopf, here is a fun one
I have made this several times, served over garlic mashed potatoes, very yummy!

No worries,Barb. I've long since passed on the Romertopf. Did have
fun playing with various recipes in it 12 plus years ago but in the end the item I most prepared was chicken, especially whole chickens. But then I started preferring oven-roasted chicken for the crispier-skin. So I let the Romertopf go and can't say I've really missed it.

I'd send ya some clay pot cookbooks if I still had them. Check your library
though as I often see them in libraries here. Clay Pot cooking is what you're looking for.
Here's an Amazon link to give you an idea of a few books available on the topic.
