A Römertopf can be used in an electric or convection oven. Always place it in a cold oven and let it gradually come up to temperature to prevent cracking.
Is Römertopf suitable for baking bread?
Absolutely. The steam development gives you a crisp crust and a light, airy interior. Rustic bread in particular turns out perfectly in it.
How do you clean a Römertopf?
Use warm water and a soft brush. Avoid washing-up liquid, as the clay can absorb it. Let the pot dry thoroughly before storing it.
What does a Römertopf cost on average?
The price depends on the size and design. On average, expect a mid-range price level, comparable to a quality oven dish or roasting pan. You are primarily investing in flavour and ease of use.
