The Evolution of VitaClay®

For more than 20 years, VitaClay customers have natural clay cooking for nourishing meals, bone broth, rice, soups, yogurt, and slow-cooked comfort foods.

The Nourishing Pot is the next evolution of VitaClay—combining everything customers loved about our classic cookers with a larger 6.5-quart capacity, 11 optimized cooking functions, smarter everyday convenience, and new programs designed for modern nourishing lifestyles.

If you're buying your first VitaClay, this is the model we recommend.

A Return to Cooking

Before cooking became rushed, pressurized, and lined with plastics, meals were prepared with patience and care. Food simmered gently. Ingredients spoke for themselves. And cooking was an act of nourishment — not stress.

The VitaClay® Nourishing Pot was created to return to that way of cooking. Inspired by generations of traditional clay pot cooking and Blue Zone longevity cultures, it brings gentle heat, natural materials, and intentional timing into modern life — without sacrificing convenience or efficiency. This is pressure- cooking, in every sense of the word.

Ancient Clay Wisdom, Refined for Modern Life

Made with unglazed organic zisha clay, it s natural taste and texture without chemical glazes. The VitaClay Nourishing Pot brings ancient clay pot cooking into modern life — helping you slow down, eat food, and nourish deeply without sacrificing convenience. Inspired by Blue Zone longevity cultures, it returns cooking to the basics: gentle heat, pure materials, and time-honored methods — without induction, microwave, or pressure cooking.

Crafted with an unglazed organic clay bowl, this Nourishing Pot enhances natural flavor and texture while allowing food to cook in its own juices. Clay promotes even, uniform cooking and preserves vitamins, minerals, and enzymes — with no toxic metals or non-stick chemical glazes ever touching your food.

Unlike pressure cookers or conventional slow cookers, the NourishingPotTM delivers a slow-cooking breakthrough: the speed of pressure cooking without pressure, and the tenderness of slow simmering without mushiness. Meals cook up to 4× faster than traditional slow cookers, then gently simmer to ion — similar to stovetop cooking, without babysitting.

This is food, not microwaved shortcuts. Make nourishing oatmeal in minutes, enjoy 30-minute one-pot meals, slow-simmer bone broth for up to 24 hours without boiling nutrients away, or return to traditional 4–8 hour slow cooking like grandma’s kitchen. Steam vegetables to preserve nutrition, cook eggs, and enjoy easy one-pot meals.

Designed for slow living and efficient living, the Nourishing Pot adapts to your rhythm — from 10 minutes to 24 hours. Essential programs handle everyday meals, while Artisana™ mode gives you full control over temperature and time for fermentation, probiotic yogurt, enzyme-rich foods, and anti-aging L. Reuteri cultivation. A delay timer, automatic keep-warm, and easy cleanup make it truly set-and-forget.

With a generous 6.5-quart capacity, energy-efficient 700-watt design, and safety testing, the VM1688-9 supports everyday nourishment with intention and ease.
