how does this clay pot compare to a romatoff claypot?

It depends on what you want to cook, I think both do similar things, the Römertopf is bigger, more traditional, the glazing makes cleaning the chef a bit more easier.

This was a Christmas gift. To someone who has sold Pampered Chef, in the past. This person is well-pleased with this item! I've not used a romatoff clay pot.

Yes, the clay pot, 2 qt, is just like the photo but the lid is like the clay pot to the right. The lid is not totally glazed, but 90% of it is and the outer border is sandy like the pot. Interior is glazed, exterior is sandy. The Wok Shop. FYI...we sell many and to restaurants for seafood, individual serving or for 2...

Sorry but I don't know how it compares. This one is metal and has a sturdy feel to it. The serrated edge ceramic stone rattles a little. Might be heavier that some would like, I prefer that sturdy feel and weight however.

As another reply already pointed out, this roaster is large enough to roast a turkey, so it's an overkill for a chicken. I'd go with the Romertopf #140 for that ( see romertopfdirect [ dot ] com ). I also own a Romertopf #111, but that's a bit too small for cooking a chicken in my opinion--especially if you want to addveggies and some potatoes.Also remember that these clay pots won't be made in Mexico any longer. The new pots wil comefrom Germany and will have a glazed bottom . See fantes [ dot ] com for more info.

Hi GinnyDon't know the answer.I cross referenced between the style or model name/# on the pot. Don't know about vintage pots

Just a guess, that it is easier to keep looking nice. The polished version requires more careful drying to remove water spots. We are very satisfied with the pot!

Not as well as a thicker pot. I use the base of this with a swissmar clay pot. The thicker pot spreads the heat out so the chocolate or cheese doesn't burn.

For me, the greatest benefit is that is not made in China, so you don't have to worry about toxic chemicals being used to make it. I also love being able to brown my meat on the stove top in the pot and then transfer it to the base- no extra to clean up. It's easier to store because the pot goes in the cabinet with the rest of my pots and the base is so small that you can store it anywhere without taking up a lot of room. The pot is durable beauty and easy to clean. I have not found that it sticks more than the ceramic does. You don't have to worry about it cracking like the ceramic slow cooker inserts can. You can also put it in the oven. The base is really plain and simple, but that's what I like about it. I really love this set! Thanks for asking.

Hi JMaine,I bought this pot last Christmas and I am getting another this December. They are great!!! Non-stick (without the unnecessary coating) is more like it. If ever something gets stuck in there, don't you worry. It comes off with one swipe of your dish sponge. If you are considering this pot I recommend that you do make that purchase. They are pricy but you won't regret your money.Good luck and enjoy your Le Creuset pot.

I do not know, my cooktop is ceramic. I do not wish to burst your bubble, but I recommend not to buy the pots. They hold a lot less than they say the do, for example, the 4 quart pot holds on slightly more than 3 quarts, the rest are similarly sized . The pots are thin, so it is easy to scorch and burn stuff. Difficult to clean after you burn something in them.

I don't see that there's a difference - I suspect the tulip reference is related to the handles. I have been using these for some time and find that they are the best (of many) aluminum pans I've used, both in terms of non- stick and uniform cooking. Only caveat is that they are not suited to very high heat applications (like blackening meats) - best to stick to cast iron for that.

i actually own both. the difference, i believe is in their shape. the cheaper one has a wider circumference and lower height. this, i find, lends itself to cooking vegetables, such as ratatouille, while the other is better for dishes in which you do not want the sauce to evaporate too quickly. the smaller diameter helps in that. i was once trying to cook something in the wider flatter pot and the recipe started with making the sauce. as the pot was wide and a larger portion of it exposed to the heat, the sauce burnt rather than cooked evenly as it would have in the other pot. i enjoy both of the pots, as well as the many others i own, but have learnt through trial and error when to use each pot. i hope tho is helpful.

The pot stats at decent heat but I think it cools a little faster than a ceramic. What I use is a tea cozy. It's a "hat" for the teapot that keeps it warm.

You will probably want a clear plastic pot. It is easier to see the health of the roots and repot at a later date. Also, I would hazard a guess that the plastic pot has better drainage than the ceramic one.

Yes, beautifuly! Mine is doing so well and it's a medium pot. It's so full and strong. I absolutely love it.

It is my favorite pot and it has a very smooth surface. In fact the only downside is that it is a bit slippery on my gas stove, but should be fine with glass surface. You won't regret getting this pot. Nothing sticks perfect for soup and beef stew and really easy to clean.

It feels like Cast iron but is smoother heavy anodized aluminum. It works beautifully on a ceramic cooktop that is either off or high temp, otherwise impossible to regulate. It slips a little when shaking pans but you quickly learn to accommodate.
