 Makes everything you cook in it taste deliciousApr 18, 2009
By Sky Road
I bought a large Schlemmertopf (the original kind, made in Germany--I believe some of the newer ones are made in Mexico) at a garage sale with no documentation, so I needed to do a little research on how to use it. Found out I needed to soak the lid for about 15 minutes before using it, and that it must always be put in a cold oven when you start cooking the food in it.
I started experimenting with putting various kinds of meat, chicken & fish in it, with lots of vegetables and light sauces and fresh herbs. Everything I have ever cooked in it turned out moist, flavorful, and big-time delicious. I now always think of using the Schlemmertopf pot first when I'm making a dinner from scratch. It holds moisture in, and the flavors in the pot get blended and the herb flavors infuse everything in the pot. Now, I wouldn't want to be without one.
Amazon carries some useful cookbooks about cooking in clay pots, and I recommend getting at least one of them as a guide. But for the most part now that I have some experience using it, I just make the recipes up using whatever meat, veggies and herbs I have in the house and can always feel confident that the food will come out of the Schlemmertopf tasting great. It's also a very healthful way to cook because you don't have to add any oil to the Schlemmertopf. It's an absolute kitchen necessity for me now.

Read the instructions...May 20, 2011
By bromya

I hate when people give a bad rating to a product without thoroughly reading the instructions. In this case, a reviewer wrote that the lid is not "tight-fitting." Having read the manual, it clearly states, "Note that the lid is not completely tight fitting. This allows any excess steam to escape, adjusting the pressure within the pot and facilitating browning of foods." The manual also illustrates why their glazed bottom is a better choice vs. a non-glazed bottom (e.g. Romertopf): "It is much more sanitary than an unglazed utensil, as food particles, flavors and odors are not absorbed into the pot. It is easy to clean and there is no bacteria build up, no worry about mold, no staining or problems with food sticking."
Also included in this wonderful little manual are several recipes for meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables and desserts. It is a wonderful product and with simple proper care, can be enjoyed for years.

We LOVE our #842 Schlemmertopf!!!Oct 22, 2009
By G. Love
We cook everything in there! It's so easy to prepare, the food tastes outstanding, & it's so easy to clean! Great for roasts, vegetables, & grains! No more scouring the oven! No lead, aluminum, or microwave radiation (pending you don't put it in the microwave)! We also have a small Rommertopf & a medium-sized #843 Schelmmertopf & love them all!
We've had our #842 for almost a year - got it last year after turkey season. We just cooked a 14-lb turkey in it & it did fantastic! It was a little big & took 3 1/2 hours to cook (maybe shorter if I hadn't checked it hourly), but overall it did well, tasty! Cooking greens in it is so simple & great, too!
We highly recommend the #842 for it's versatility & ease of use!

love at first bakeJan 19, 2011
By R. Suwarna
"newbie mom"
if you love roasting things and want to eat healthier, buy this thing. it's amazing. just put whatever meat you want in there (beef! pork! fish! chicken! your teenage son - just kidding... ), add a few seasoning, rub with butter, add a little bit of stock, and some roasting veggies.. close the lid, put in oven, turn it on... wait.. and voila! healthy but delicious meal is served. fantastic. your meat will turn out so tender that you won't even remember how you ever managed to cook without it.
although you can't clean it using soap it's quite easy to clean. just soak it in warm water for a few minutes, and scrub with soft sponge.. that's it.
