Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Reco International Vegetable Baker
Customer Review: Glad I tried it, but
Summary: 4 Stars
Glad I tried it, but I cant tell if soaking it makes any difference at all.. Seems like the water left on the VEG after washing would do the same trick (but I dont really know; perhaps the claim is that the water is released over time from the clay).. The VEG do come out great, and it is very easy to clean (I simply rinse with water and it seems to be enough).. Its a bit of a pain to worry about it breaking from temperature changes (I glean from the directions it is more prone to such breakage than other cookware).. Difficult to handle when hot because the lid doesnt have a handle that works well with oven mitts.. Also takes up a lot of space(I am trying to use a toaster oven and roast garlic too, so space is at a premium).. I do love the organic feel of using the clay.. It is pretty enough so my girlfriend will allow it to be used on display when not in use (otherwise every damn thing goes into the cabinets somewhere)..

Cooking in clay is one of the healthiest ways to cook, no grease or oil needed. It is also a fool proof cooking: if that pot-roast/beef-stew dries up and burns every single time buy yourself a clay baker and the meat is guaranteed to come out moist and tender. I use my clay cookware at least 3 times a week. This one is a nice size for dinner for 2 people. It says veggie baker but you can also use it for baking breads, cook meats and fish. It's the easiest way to cook, you don't have to run to the oven every 5 min to baste the food, the baker does it for you when releasing moisture in cooking process. Just as another person noted this baker fits into a smaller size table top oven - a huge plus when you cook during hot summer months.Customer Review: Excellent for 2-3 persons or 1 person sized meals

Don't let the 'vegetable' in the title fool you. This is just a small size clay baker and you can cook anything you want in it. If you have a large enough countertop or toaster oven, you may be able to fit this in it without needing a full size oven. Check your measurements carefully. It takes a little bit of practice to figure out which things cook best, but you can pretty much just toss in some veggies and/or potatoes with or without meat or anything else you feel like - bake and serve. Get a few of the clay pot cookery books out there to give you ideas, or just throw in your own ingredients. It's pretty simple and foolproof.Customer Review: Fun cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several stoneware baking dishes, however all of them are too large for making a meal for two, so I was looking for a smaller unit. The Reco International Vegetable Baker is PERFECT. It fits exactly into my toaster oven, and with 10 minutes' preparation and 50 minutes in the oven, a most delectable meal for two, including grains and veggies, is ready for our enjoyment. The baker is easy to clean and to handle, and I am delighted.Customer Review: Too icky to use, too pretty to discard
Summary: 1 Stars
I have gone back to roasting my veggies in an open pan. The inside of this stained black after one use. The whole soaking in water and starting in a cold oven is too much trouble for me considering the results have been less than spectacular. It is very attractive on the outside but destined to be freecycled at my curb soon.
