How To Make Pulled Pork Tacos In The Römertopf | Römertopf Cooking Tips

[@SvenWalvert]

Dear Chef Bill this recipe truly is the best I’ve found online! After trying it many times, here’s a useful tip for everyone: It’s crucial to keep the broth that cooks with the meat to maintain its tenderness and flavor. Fill the pot with broth almost halfway up the meat. After 1.5 hours at 180 degrees, open it, check how much longer it needs, and set aside a few ladles of broth - it’s delicious and essential for later! After another 30-45 minutes (depending on the meat’s fat content), remove the pot. Pull the meat gently with the broth inside, being mindful not to overdo it with the liquid. If the meat still seems dry, add more of the reserved broth. If it looks too soupy immediately, remove some broth. It should have the perfect balance to be flavorful without being too liquidy or dry. Enjoy your meal!

Very good advice! Thank you!! I got one of those Bluetooth temperature probes, and now I use it all the time for Römertopf cooking. Adding broth is a good idea, as after 1 1/2 hours things can get dried out. Good luck!

I see that you poured hot pork & juice into the cold clay vessel, can that transition crack the clay?

[@ChefBill]

I see what you are saying. I think I must have felt like the meat and liquid common off the pork wasn’t that hot. Also, the clay was just soaked in water, so that may be a bit of a buffer. If it was a large amount of boiling water, that may have been an issue. Still, it may be prudent to let everything cool a bit first. Most of that pork roast was raw, and right out of the refrigerator. So, that part wasn’t that hot to the touch. Good observation! :)

I'm so glad to found your video, I just got mine today and didn't have the cookbook as I bought it 2 hand. My one is 111 and not glazed, do I need to brush some oil to avoid the burn? Also can I put it in dishwasher? Many thanks and Merry Christmas :)

[@ChefBill]

Hello! There are a few good ‘clay pot’ cooking books on Amazon. Also you can look on eBay and the like for old paperback books on ‘römertopf cooking’. Also the internet. I’m not sure oil will prevent sticking. But it shouldn’t hurt it either. It possibly will discolor, but that is ok. Just remember to soak the pot thoroughly before you put anything on it. Ok, so unglazed means it also may have been produced in Mexico. FWIW I would not put it in the dishwasher! Thermal shock , movement, and chemicals may damage or crack your pot. Just wash with warm water and vinegar, or a mild dish soap if you must. Remember: always completely soak your pot in water for at least 20 minutes before cooking and put in a cold oven. The clay is vitrified, so it should not get bacteria inside. However, having the water soak into any porous areas will further protect the clay from contamination. Happy cooking !!
