I know good food and I know medicine and this pot brings both worlds together for a delicious meal. The secret: organic unglazed Zisha Clay," says Mike Fenster, Cardiologist/Professional Chef/Author. "As an interventional cardiologist I need the right tools to save lives in the cath lab. As a chef, I need the right tools in my kitchen to craft wholesome, deli- cious meals. VitaClay is that unique multi-tasker that can easily elevate any- one's game into the professional realm. It is incredibly easy to use as a slow cook- er, rice cooker, steamer or a vehicle for incredibly healthful fermented foods like yogurts and kefir. Unlike other products, the VitaClay employs a water-only glazed clay pot. The clay for the pot is harvested from the same exceptional area in China from which people have been crafting distinctive cooking vessels for thousands of years. Rich in legacy and minerals, the result is an earthenware vessel unlike any others. Abundant in beneficial minerals and bereft of contam- inants and toxins, this container is strong, durable and non-stick. It adds such tex- ture and flavor to simple staples like rice that it is considered the gold standard to cook by. Most importantly, it adds noth- ing else; like heavy metals and off-put- ting flavors," he continues. "As a cardiologist, I appreciate that the kitchen is the new operating room where disease prevention is forged. As a chef, I appreciate that the kitchen is where taste and texture are created. I love that the VitaClay employs ancient tech- niques and methods to bring the synergy of both into the twenty-first century," he concludes. "Unglazed clay was the 'top- of-the-line' for ancient royalty. I feel healthy cookware is more relevant today then ever. VitaClay is my dream come true. I prepare foods that must taste great and promote health at the same time. When I use VitaClay, my meals are incredibly delicious and nutritious beyond compare." Why is clay considered so amazing? Our food-focused ancestors may have felt a strong intuitive message to use clay for two main reasons. First, clay is paramagnetic, with interactive elemental signals, and second, it creates healthful infrared emissions. Unglazed clay may be more than a cooking secret, it may actually be one of the main ingre- dients, enabling us to synergistically bring our seasonal meats, grains and veg- etables into harmonious balance with our ever-evolving lifestyle and bodies living ecology, the microbiome, according to Michelle Liu, inventor of the VitaClay Chef. Using clay in your kitchen has been made fast, easy and intuitive with the VitaClay Chef, a multipurpose cooker, yogurt maker, grain germinator and sprouter. Liu's mother dis- covered that clay was 'magic' and had special properties from a neighboring doctor in China. This Doctor of Chinese Medicine and his family had superior health. Liu's mother investigated the source of this vitality and discovered that they steamed and boiled their foods in clay. Passing this secret on to to her young daughter was just the beginning. Liu wanted to make the Old World under- standing an integral part of a modern kitchen. "I invented this pot for myself and my family, and I use it every day. It is a part of my nourishing tradition. Food becomes more delicious and more bio- available because the clay alkalizes the food and interacts with the ingredients in a magical and positive way," says Liu.
