Two things I highly value…one, my time; two, preparing nutritionally dense, toxin-free foods for my family.

Those two things haven’t always come together in balance.

That was until I discovered the VitaClay® Smart Organic Multicooker.

I’m in love I tell you!

Here at the ranch, LOTS of my time and energy goes into chemical-free, preservative-free food production. Whether it’s growing fruits & vegetables, sourcing quality bulk items, tending to soil, composting, raising pastured chickens, milking goats, and/or gathering eggs…

…I need to know my efforts aren’t being thwarted by toxic cookware.

Insert VitaClay®!

This thing is AWESOME! It is a…

  • slow cooker
  • rice cooker
  • steamer
  • plus bonus yogurt maker

…all in one!

Each clay-cooking bowl is always made of natural, unglazed, Zisha clay, which enhances flavor and preserves nutrients, enzymes and vitamins. It’s free of any non-stick glazes: no chemicals or aluminum come in contact with your food.

The VitaClay® Smart Organic Multicooker is super convenient and fully programmable, thanks to innovative computerized clay heating technology (ancient cooking vessel meets modern society). The all-natural clay-cooking bowl promotes uniform cooking, and the double-lid design not only creates micro-pressure to maximize tender and flavorful food, but cuts slow cooking energy and time in half!

Whole meals and side dishes can be made in as little as 30 minutes from scratch.

Anyhow, I’m so excited about my new slow cooker, I wish we could all have one! But since it can’t be…I had to share this experience with at least one of you!

  1. This looks perfect for a beginner household, just because it can be used for so many different things. I don’t like uni-tasker so this seems great!

  2. Finally! A slow cooker that is not toxic, or made with toxic materials. This does look interesting. I think making yogurt in this would be wonderful.

    • It is one of my favorite features! I’ll be writing soon about how I make yogurt in mine with our goat milk!

      • No kidding! It would surely beat my current method of making yoghurt–wrapped in a towel on a heating pad! Thanks for the giveaway!

  3. I had a VitaClay cooker & it was fantastic… until I dropped the clay crock. Would LOVE to replace it. Thanks for this offer!

    • VitaClay has replacement lids and bowls! Click over to their website and grab your replacement 🙂

    • Most slow cookers/crockpots are Teflon coated or have a finish that contains lead and other toxins. Cooking in them creates the potential transfer of chemicals and metals into the food. Note: Hamilton Beach Slow Cookers are also respected as safe.

  8. I don’t own a slow cooker because I cannot taste any individual foods. To me the textures of the food feels all wrong. Also, I’d rather not run it all day. So in your opinion is it just like a slow cooker? Or is there a difference in taste and do the foods retain their natural texture. Are most recipes 45 min or less? I sure would like to make yogurt in it.

    • I agree with you CTY! That is one thing about a traditional slow cooker…there were certain foods/meals that I wouldn’t prepare because of the how they turned out. So to answer your question, my family and I can tell a HUGE difference in the taste and texture of the foods cooked in the VitaClay. They don’t taste/feel like they’ve been cooked to death. And YES cooking times are approx. 30-60 minutes on average!

  9. I love that it retains vitamins and minerals and cooks so quickly! This is a product I am really excited about thanks for sharing!

  17. i’ve thought in the past how handy it would be if there was just one device that could slow cook, cook rice, and steam all in one, and now there is such a thing! would love to win this 🙂

  21. I would just love one of these slow Cookers. With the work I put into mall planning and working full time, they deserve the healthiest meals I can provide!

  24. A slow cooker like this will make it easier to make meals for my large family and I can rest in the fact that they are not getting any toxins.

  27. I think we have forgotten how to eat healthy in our time… it is time to get back to what is good for us. This would make a great addition to my kitchen.. thank you

  28. Amazing device, haven’t seen it before. Have been looking into crockpots, but haven’t jumped in yet. Will do this year, as my healtyh is finally improving thanks to an AIP paleo regime, and I will get back to work!!! Combining work with cooking is going to be tricky, and this is where this non-toxic crockpot version would come in superbly handy! Thanks so much for posting about this! (And it would be great to win..)

  29. I hardly use my slow cooker because of my concern with the toxins! I would love to be able to regularly use something I feel good about and a rice cooker too!

  30. My family’s health is the most important thing to me. This will ensure my little ones are getting the most out of the foods I can provide for them.

  33. Wow! I never knew these even existed! I have a clay pot that I soak in water and then use it to cook in the oven. This would be absolutely wonderful!

  35. Anything toxin free has my vote!! There are so many toxins we come into contact with on a daily basis, it’s about time manufacturers wise up and produce safe products! So excited to be able to enter this giveaway, thank you for the opportunity!
    *hugs*deb

  36. I’ve never cooked in clay before so that is exciting to try but I LOVE set and forget appliances.

  37. I am really excited about the VitaClay multi-cooker because it does so much and in a toxic-free vessel!

  38. I am really excited about the VitaClay multi-cooker because it does so much and in a toxic-free vessel!

  39. We are trying to grow as much of our own food supply as possible and eat healthier. This would tie it all together. Thank you for the opportunity to win one for my family.

  41. Working full time plus a small homestead and critters to take care of,
    the Vitaclay would surely make dinner time so much easier and healthier.
    Thank you for such a generous offer!

  42. I am an avid yogurt maker … to combine two household electronic devices into one … all in the name of natural, toxin-free cooking! … yay for those who know that small houses need to be efficient on space!

  43. I love saving time in the kitchen and the fact that you can do SO much with this one cooker is exciting!

  49. I LOVE this! I try as much as possible to cook organic, GMO free and non-toxic, often using cast iron on stove top and oven and even though I use a regular crock pot at times, am not crazy about having to do so with a highly polished and glazed porcelain surface. I would LOVE to win this!!!!

  52. I’m sorry to be a “naysayer”, but, are you so certain it is “toxin free”? Where was it made? If it was made in China, it is highly likely that it is not what you think it is. I don’t use anything made in China, I don’t serve anything made in China, and I don’t use dishes or cookware made in China. There is a reason for my “anti-China” anything position, and it’s not politics.

    • I don’t consider you a “naysayer” Carol2! We all have opinions and convictions we are passionate about. I totally respect your perspective…this is a safe place, thank you for being respectful in sharing your views 🙂

  53. I’m trying to return to work. When I do, it will be a blessing to have a tool that helps me cook my family healthy food.

  54. We are really working to lead a more healthful lifestyle. We’ve moved away from buying pans w/coatings, etc. This would be a great addition. Thanks for the opportunity.

  55. I have a large family and do LOTS of cooking. I own a steamer, 4 crock pots, a rice cooker and a yogurt maker, none of which are in great working order. I’ve had them for a loooong time. They are bulky and hard to store in my smaller kitchen. This all in one item would be GREAT! I love the fact that it’s chemical free. I too work hard to bring good, toxin free food to my table. I never really give thought to the fact that it could be ruined in the preparation. Thanks for bringing this product to everyone’s attention.

  56. Thank you for introducing us to this great piece of kitchen equipment! I am impressed by how fast it cooks, along with all of the different types of food it can prepare – while being a toxin-free cooking vessel too! Doesn’t get better than that in the kitchen. 🙂

  57. Everything about the VitaClay Smart Organic Multicooker excites me but toxin-free is a huge plus. I hope to win this and start cooking healthier meals!

  59. I love learning! This product is new to me and I am very interested. I could probably use it for my sourdough starter, my kefir not to mention supper! Thanks for sharing.

  61. I have a clay baker and it makes such delicious roast chicken that I am can only imagine the delicious food that this slow cooker must make without the babysitting of the oven. I am excited to hear about this product and it’s health benefits.

  63. I’m always interested in preparing healthy meals for my large family, but it isn’t always easy to make that happen between homeschooling, kids’ activities, trying to keep order in the house, making sure our toddler doesn’t destroy things behind us, etc. I often end up at 5:00 wondering what I’m going to make for dinner. I do try to keep a good selection of basics around so I can throw something together, but it’s always tempting to keep some quick but less healthy options around for those times. A tool like this could be a big help in keeping us on track!

  64. This looks like a fascinating alternative to my rice cooker, crockpot – would be great to replace them both with one single appliance.

  67. This has been on my wish list for quite some time. I am especially in love with it’s yogurt feature. I would love, love, love to win it! Thanks!

  68. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity. What a great appliance. I also go to great lengths to make, grow, and eat good food. This is something I can see us using a lot for meal preparation.

  72. What a gorgeous opportunity ! I already have a slow cooker in use and simply love it. Enjoying healthy, tasty food at the time I chose. I’d love to win another one to not only spread the word, but also be able give one to one of my adult children. Thanks again for the opportunity !! Warm regards from the Netherlands 🙂

  76. I love that it is Organic and a Multicooker! to boot. Just another way to bring healthy back into our families daily lives! Thanks for the opportunity to win this beauty!

  77. This looks like a wonderful product, would love to have a chance to own one of these. Thanks for the opportunity!

  79. Would love to win this. I am a crockpot cooking nut anyway & this sounds great. Will be saving to purchase either way.

  80. Love that its a multi cooker its so hard to find organic and its a must after working so hard to grow everything yourself only to use non organic cookware thanks for the chance

  87. Like the fact that meals can be prepared in a shorter amount of time. I frequently think of something I want to make in the slow cooker but it is already too late in the day to begin.

  88. It’s a healthy multicooker that I can also use to make yogurt!?! That’s just beyond cool, if I don’t win this it will be on my list of cool kitchen things to buy.

  89. This looks like something that I would LOVE to have! I am trying to cook more healthy for my family and cooking more with whole foods and not canned. I had a huge garden this past summer and canned most all of our food (except meats!). This would help tremendously!! Would LOVE TO WIN!!

  91. Just starting to take eating healthy seriously, hadn’t even thought about the coating on my cookware!! The Vitaclay would be a perfect start on my trip to wellness! your blog has been a great inspiration and extremely useful tool in “opening my eyes” to better health, so a big THANK YOU 🙂

  92. We’ve been going “green” slowly for the past year. I never considered that my well used slow cooker could have been toxic to my family. VitaClay would be a great tool in our efforts to be healthier in all we do.

  93. Wow, what an amazing product! Scary thought that I am slow cooking lead into my home-made food all day….yuck! Thanks for the give-away 🙂

  95. I can’t live without my regular slow cooker. Having the Vitaclay would be a wonderful addition to my kitchen!

  96. This is the first time I have heard about this cooker. I like the fact that it’s toxin free and all-in-one (steamer, rice cooker, slow cooker …..)

  98. I’m excited most about minimizing exposure to unnecessary chemicals. My daughter has food allergies and being monitored for a hormone issue so this could help keep her safer.

    • Absolutely Kelly! Good luck to you and sending thoughts of health and healing to your daughter this morning 🙂

  99. The possibilities are endless with this! I ran across this the other day on Amazon, and was so impressed with it!

  100. I had no idea my slow cooker could be toxic! Good to know and thank you for the chance to win a toxin free one!

  101. Thank you for the giveaway !! healthy food is important for good health and this will help me so much !

  104. I am excited because the food that I am so careful to choose has a perfect cooker that will maximize the nutritional value that is in the food that I serve.

    • You got it Kathy! Seems like so many of us find all sorts of creative, money-saving ways to buy/grow food that doesn’t have all the nasty gmo’s and pesticides…only to cook in pots that do! And yes, the fact that the foods cooked in the VitaClay retain their nutritional value — well that is just icing on the cake!

  105. I’ve been searching forever for a non-toxic slow cooker, but have been wary of all the pots I have looked at. I never ran across this one in my searches, so thanks for this great giveaway! It looks wonderful!

  107. WOW! I have never seen one of these. Being able to use a slow cooker that isn’t loaded with toxins would be wonderful! I love slow cooking but haven’t done any since I read about the toxins released. This is a great deal! Thanks for the chance to enter to win it!

    • You’re very welcome Beverly! I love my slow cooker and I was SUPER sad when I started learning about the potential for toxins leeching into foods cooking in one 🙁 So thankful to have found the VitaClay!

  108. Wow! I had never heard of this cooker before. It looks amazing. Would love to win one.

  110. I’ve already replaced all my pots and pans. But I never even thought about my slow cooker being a problem, so I would love to own this one!

    • Same here Tammy! It wasn’t until recently that I discovered this too…so thankful to have the option of the VitaClay 🙂

  115. The clay cookers I have are worth their weight in gold. I started using a Romertopf when I lived in Germany as it was one of the healthiest ways to cook. I normally don’t have time to heat up an oven, so I love that this is in a slow cooker format…

  116. Forty years ago I got a Unacooker, a clay pot that sat upon on hot pot of water and steamed the contents of the Unacooker. Well, needless to say, the Unacooker lid has broken and no longer works. Would LOVE this clay cooker to replace!

  117. The only way I could have one is to win it! If not I will have to wait for second hand. I know I would use it often!i slow cook 2-3 times a week and cook grain practically everyday.

  118. The Vita Clay is exciting news in itself… I am grateful they have made this product available and for the chance to win the giveaway.. This cooker is on my wish list!

  119. I love the fact that it cooks food so quickly and is a non toxic alternative to other slow cookers on the market. I would love to try this little machine! I currently do not own a slow cooker and I would really like to!

  124. excited to see a slow cooker with none of the non-stick chemicals seeping into my food as it cooks!

  125. I’m most excited to trust that I am truly creating the most healthy meals possible for my family. Thank You!

  127. I think this is great. I had never heard of this product before. I’m new at frugal living and finding ways to cook healthier for my family. Looking forward to winning! 🙂

  128. I am making a conscious effort to simplify and detoxify everything that comes in contact with our family…good quality food deserves to be made in a non-toxic vessel 🙂
    Thank you for this giveaway, I never knew that there was something as wonderful as this!
    Happy New Year 🙂

  129. I want to win this. I am now starting to work harder to provide better meals for my family and need this to continue this quest.
    I want to win!!!

  130. As a potter who uses mica clay from New Mexico, I can vouch for the value of cooking in clay pots.
    PattyMara

  132. Looks like it would come in handy in our 7-person, 4 children household! Frugal, healthy cooking already happens, but look at that thing! Wow! 🙂

  133. Wow! I was introduced to clay “bakeware” when we lived in Germany in the 80’s but this takes it to a whole new level! Thank you for opportunity to win one and thank you for your awesome posts – I so look forward to them every day!

  134. Wow, this is a beauty! The Finnish is wearing off my stoneware crock pot it it doesn’t cook evenly and consistently enough. This would make my life and meals so much easier, but I would never be able to afford it so I sure hope I win!

  136. Would be wonderful for my full house! Knowing its toxin-free makes it 10 times better! How cool.

  139. I would love to try this – love crock pots and can’t wait to try making rice!! Love cooking healthy! Thanks for your site – love it!!

  142. I love watching the improvements in my families health. This is just the kind of kitchen tool I have been looking for!

  145. Are you kidding? What excites me most? I use clay for baking and such. This would be a great addition to my kitchen. Thank you and God bless.

  146. I’m tired of having to buy new rice cookers every year because the non stick coating has started coming off! It will be wonderful to NOT have to worry about that!

  148. I’m so excited that there is a non-non-stick cooker available! I use my rice cooker constantly but can’t stand that it has Teflon coating! I would LOVE this!

  150. Love that Greek yogurt can be made in this! I can’t buy it fast enough for this family.

  155. This looks awesome! We are soon to be a family of 6, so making large meals is something I have to do. Finding non-toxic ways to do it is always challenging. Thanks for the chance to win!

  158. This looks awesome, I would love to own one of these!!! It would help make my farming life easier, since I am now going to school too. I’m not the best cook, but I try. I am probably the only person in the world who can burn dinner in a crock pot! 🙁

  159. We eat organic so this seems like the next step. I had no idea there was such a thing. My family will love this!!!

  160. I’m excited most about being able to make dairy free yogurt with success because it is not as easy as regular as it is more temperature sensitive.

  161. I would LOVE this! 1. My current slow cooker is almost dead. 2. I have been (slowly) working on eliminating chemical toxins from my family’s food. This would be a wonderful step in the right direction! I didn’t know that this was even available as a choice!

  162. What a fabulous item! I can’t cook rice to save my life, I’m sure this would be helpful. Good luck!

  163. I’d be interested in this as we’re always looking for ways to be more healthy! Thanks for doing a giveaway.

  164. Love the non-toxic. Love your site. Even if I don’t win, enjoy all the information. Thank you.

  165. What a great sounding, versatile product! I would love to try this product out! I’m always looking for ways to keep chemicals out of my food!;-) Love you’re blog!!

  166. This is so exciting! Not only do I have limited time & a great desire to prepare healthy non-toxic meals, but I also live in a small home, so saving space is a big issue. One appliance that performs all these functions would be such a lovely, welcome help 🙂

  167. Economical, versatile, safe and fast – what more could someone want in a kitchen tool? Hoping for the best and wishing you well. Thanks for the op!

  169. It sounds like it would be great for so many things, and I would love it for it’s diversity. I have been wanting a rice cooker and this would be great!

  171. I like the idea of the efficiency of this cooker as some of the “slow cookers” use a LOT of energy in the time it takes them to cook something, but mostly I like the idea of it preserving nutrients and flavor in a safe cooking container.

  173. I forgot to mention what I like about it! I also have a roemertopf, and love the results, just not the extra time and work. This would be a great way to get the taste and healthy cooking in my tight mama schedule.

  178. We raise a lot of our food and this appliance not only looks like the perfect non-toxic way to cook it, but is a real time saver, too.

  179. That is so exciting that it does a lot of different things. Slow cooker, yogurt maker, rice cooker,etc.
    That is great and awesome that the pot is ok for your health to cook in. WOW!

  180. I’m all about knowing that a product is toxin free, and I like multi-use appliances. Thank you 🙂

  181. Love your website! I love using slow cookers and would love to win this! Good luck to all!

  182. I’d love to cut any toxins I can out of cooking my food & being as we’re on a tight budget I’d love to win this!!

  185. I never even thought about the chemicals that could be leaching into my food when I used a crock pot. This looks like a good alternative.

  187. I would love one! I’m trying to transition to a healthy lifestyle after a completely mainstreamed toxic life so far. This would definitely help!

  190. Oh, thank you for the chance to win this wonderful kitchen essential! I’m so excited!

  203. Toxin free definitely has our vote. Being in Health Ministry, we promote healthy living with a holistic approach!

  205. I love that it’s non toxic and no lead. I didn’t know that crockpots have lead in them until I seen this a few months ago. It’s on my wish list, whoever wins is LUCKY!! 🙂

  208. Wow! That slow cooker is so cool! We have started to try to eat better, more wholesome foods and this would totally help! Thanks for the opportunity!

  209. I just purchased a rice cooker (the upper up kind) and love it, but now? I’m feigning for this one! I never knew they had something like THIS! o.O 🙂

  213. I just bought a new rice cooker but cooking side dishes in this would be great.

    Good luck to all!

  215. I have a son with Asperger’s, Tourette’s and ADHD, so this type of cooking vessel is very interesting to me. I try very hard to keep all heavy metals and toxins out of our food as these hurt his recovery process. I have a slow cooker but this vessel would help me make meals that are safe for him to eat a lot faster. I hope I win!

  217. I’m not much of a cook and I’ve been looking for something that’s easy to use and that I can make a multitude of dishes in. This seems perfect; I would absolutely love to win this.

  218. I would love to try this product. Thank you for all your wonderful products, you sell on Etsy

  219. This looks like a wonderful, versatile product. My daughter recently started a gluten-free diet and the best “side-effect” is that she is now being very conscious of what she eats and loves trying out new recipes. Since she cooks many of her own meals now, this would be a real help.

  220. I have been looking for a replacement for my slow cooker, and this looks like the perfect replacement.

  225. I like that the foods won’t contain toxins, nor will the air in my kitchen. I’m so careful about cookware not only for my own health, but for the health of my pets.

  227. What an amazing little gadget! I have tried several of your recipes for health & beauty and also some recipes for dinner. I must say, I LOVE them! Would love to win this to continue on my journey to a healthier lifestyle!

  228. I’m so excited about this cooker!! My husband wants rice nearly every day. So I’m replacing my rice cookers a couple times a year because I can’t stand using them once the “non-stick” coating gets scratched or starts to wear. It gets hard to cook healthy toxin, gmo and artificial additive free foods daily. So a cooker like this is invaluable! Thank you

  229. This is just what I have been looking for in an appliance. I am trying to lead a healthier lifestyle and I know I will use this often.

  231. I had a slow cooker and got rid of it because my condo was too small and I rarely used it. I’ve regretted it since then! Now that I have a bigger home and cool all the time, this would be fantastic!

  234. I use my slow-cooker almost every day….always looking for more efficient ways to cook healthy meals for my family! Love this!

  235. With two children under the age of 2 and both parents working full time, this would be a HUGE asset in our household!!

  240. Like you, I give a lot of attention to the quality of the foods I bring into our home and cooking techniques so we can enjoy the healthiest, tastiest meals. Lately, I’ve wished my kitchen had something more natural and easy to use. This looks like a great tool and I love the idea of cooking in clay. How healthier can you get?! Thanks for sponsoring this great giveaway.

  248. We are very active and sometimes we just need dinner ready I love crockpot meals for this reason. We are living a very green life and pay close attention to what we cook our food in & serve our food. Thank you! I am so excited!!

  249. I love this item! I avoid toxins where ever I can and this will be one more tool in my tool kit!

  250. Thanks for bringing this cool product to our attention and for offering the give-away! I love my pressure cooker for fast, healthy meals but gave away my crockpot since we felt it over cooked our food. We eat mostly vegan. Our rice cooker is on its last leg, so a product that does double duty while being toxin free is very appealing.

  251. Oh My!!! Talk about endless possibilities! I would use the heck out of this Vita Clay cooker – finger crossed!

  252. The Vita-Clay Slow Cooker looks like an easy way to prepare the vegetables I’ve worked so hard to ensure they are chemical free.

  253. Wow, I have always looked at dishes and other cookware, I never thought to look at my crockpot… gonna have to get rid of it as I’m sure it contains lead glaze…. ugh

  255. As I’ve become more aware of toxic cookware I’ve pretty much been cooking most things in my little cast iron skillet and stir fry pan and the rest with bakeware. Would love to accumulate more excellent cookware, especially since I cook every meal from whole foods. And I love to share, the more the merrier! 🙂

  256. This is great. I honestly never thought about the chemical or toxins that could affect my family from the cookware I use. I must have this. And the bonus, multiple uses.

  258. Looks like a great way to cook healthy.

    Negative: why do I need to go to the bottom of all post to comment?
    Kinda lame. .

  259. Slow cookers have really helped me give my family better food in less time. I love cooking when I have the time, ie. first thing in the morning, but having it ready when they’re hungry, ie. 8 hours later!

  260. This appears to be an excellent product that I would allow me to prepare cleaner foods for my family and reduce the number of small appliances used. Love it!

  261. Just ordered a new slow cooker but still need another so this is perfect! Thanks for the offer!

  262. Would love to win this for my family. Sounds like an awesome product for fresh healthy food. Thanks for the chance.

  263. I am so excited about this. I have been hearing about it lately. I have two small boys (1 and 5) with multiple food allergies. I am a special educator in private practice and work with children who cannot qualify for services either in the public school system or through their medical insurance (which is a large population of kids). I have found that kids who don’t change their diets don’t get better. I do some public speaking to help educate families about learning problems and their link to environmental toxins and diet. The biggest reason families don’t change their diet is time. The VitaClay looks like it would be a good way for families (myself and others) to cut out toxins and decrease their cooking time while improving their diets!

  264. I would love this cooker. I had to leave all my household goods when I moved here and haven’t been able to replave the rice cooker, crockpot, etc. This would be so much healthier and convenient than all the other appliances. I have never won but hoping this is my lucky day.

  265. I’ve been wanting to purchase a slow cooker recently and this sounds like my perfect match: it’s versatile, toxin-free, it cooks better than other slow-cookers, doesn’t require as much time to cook. What’s not to love? I’ll be recommending VitaClay to everyone.

  267. This is nothing short of AWESOME! I really wanted something to cook rice in that I didn’t have to watch. I can cook rice in a pot on the stove only when I am right there cooking other things. I am so excited about the VitaClay that if I don’t win I will buy one down the road. What a fantastic appliance for the kitchen, thanks for sharing this with all your followers.

  268. I think that the rice cooking function is fantastic…love my rice cooker, but hate the ‘teflon’. And that this doubles as a slow cooker (and I really need one) makes it the best of both worlds!

  270. Did not know about this! I love my slow cooker but I didn’t know about the toxins. Would be very cool to have a clay one. Trying to cook healthier for me (pregnant with #4) and my family.

  271. Considering just how long food can spend in a cooker, I’d love to have it be toxin free! I’d also really like a method / device for cooking better rice, since we always end up with most of it stuck to the bottom of the pot.

  272. I had no idea this type of product was out there! Very excited that there is no aluminum and it is all natural!!

  273. This looks like an amazing product! I like that it is non-toxic clay and can be used for a multitude of purposes. Looks like the perfect size for my 2-person household…plus it means I could get rid of one of my slow cookers and my tiny rice cooker!

  276. One of the main things that we want to do this year is eliminate toxins and GMOs, as my son is bipolar and my husband has hemicrania continua. We want to make sure that we’re not eating all of the crap that is out there and as naturally as possible, so this giveaway is truly exciting!

  277. Thank you for sharing this product with us! What an amazing combination the Multicooker is for healthier eating and food preparation. I’ve been making progress in the area of cleaner less toxic eating and cookware, but seeing your post today has introduced me to new ideas. Thank you!

  280. I love the flavor and safety of clay-baked food, as well as the slow cooker idea. What a unique idea!

  284. Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for the giveaway! I’ve never read about this cooker before, so I’m glad for the info. What excites me the most to use this cooker is that no toxins can be transmitted to my food! I never thought about toxins being transmitted to food during cooking with cookware other than aluminum and lined pans. Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

  285. This slowcooker is intriguing. I wonder if the clay insert retains flavors from previous meals prepared in it.

  286. I have been reading so much about GMO’s, Monsanto and FDA pay off. I like that something is not filling us up with more poison.

  287. I don’t want anything peeling off or leaking into my foods for my family! What a great idea to make a clay insert!! It has so many uses, cooks faster, and retains all of the enzymes and vitamins we need!!

  288. I love that this product is toxin-free, as that is a serious issue I have had with slow cookers in the past. The fact that it is made out of clay excites me because I have never really tried cooking with clay pots before! I also love the old-meets-new aspect as well :). Good luck to everyone!

  291. I’ve looking into getting a clowcooker for my family. I am homeschooling my children, so this toxic free multicooker will be a great addition. What excites me the most is that I don’t have to worry about toxins getting into our food while I cook with this clowcooker. Thank you for sharing !

  294. This looks perfect. I addresses all the problems I have with the current rice cooker/ slow cooker.

  296. When I hear “toxin-free” applied to slow cookers, I think of no poisonous substances from the cooking container leaking into food being cooked in it. Unglazed clay would fit this description!

  297. I never knew they made this! I was thinking the best I could do was a stainless steal rice cooker.
    So excited I hope I win. Even if I don’t I will get one before the end of the year.

  298. I like that the clay pot promotes uniform cooking and I don’t have to worry about toxins getting into our food.

  299. Woot! Woot! Would love this to start my and my families’ journey to eating real foods including no grains! Thank you for all that you do and your commitment to a fantastic lifestyle of healthy foods and growing your own. Looking forward in the future to having my own chickens and possibly a goat as well. For now, doing what I can to eat clean and keeping my home toxic free. Love all that you do! Keep it up and a wonderful 2014 to you and your family 🙂

  304. I have been dreaming of something like like, super excited to know it is out there…now if only a non toxic electric waffle maker!!

  308. Every little bit helps and I could really use this for rice. I use a very old rice cooker and it’s on its last breath!

  309. I love that this is free of toxins. Maybe we can try to undo all the damage that has already been done or at least try to prevent anymore damage for our kids.

  311. We try only to cook in stainless steel, glass, cast iron or clay. Roast chicken in an oven clay cooker is delish!. This would be a new method of old fashioned cookery!

  312. Even though our family eats entirely organic, I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Changes we are making on this healing path include seeking out more ways to reduce possible toxins. The ability to make yogurt, rather than buy it in plastic has great appeal, making rice or quinoa in clay is also very attractive. I love the idea – thank you for the opportunity.

    Thank you for your blog, which often inspires me towards greater awareness.

  318. For the longest time I have been trying to replace my non stick rice cooker without much success. I am so glad this product is offered and thank you so much for giving us a chance to win it. Love your site!

  320. I have been trying to eliminate all toxins from my environment. Never dawned on me that a slow-cooker would be a source. Mine is not teflon coated. It is ceramic. I never knew you would be able to make yogurt in one. That would be cool!! Thanks for the chance to win.

  325. This is right up my alley! I love to use a slow cooker for meals, and have been using them for years. This would speed up everything but the prep time!

  326. Sounds like a fun product that can serve many purposes. I’m all about anything that helps me to prepare healthier food for my family. 🙂

  331. Having this would make me feel more at ease preparing food that will not become toxic because of the cookware being used,.

  332. I love the fact that it is non-toxic and I could feel safe feeding my children and granddaughter using this cooker.

  333. I would love to have this type of slow cooker. At $149, I am unable to purchase one. Winning one would be a blessing. I have a Hamilton Beach slow cooker that I use frequently for beans and stews, but it takes forever to cook food correctly in it. I like that it makes yogurt. I like to make my own, but it is tricky using the oven. This is an amazing product ! Naturally, I would like to win this product.
    Congratulations to whoever wins this way cool cooker ! Naturally, I hope it is me, but I am sure whoever wins this will be thrilled.
    Thank you for the opportunity.

  337. I love this contest !
    I have yet to win any contests, maybe I will get lucky this time .
    Peace and love to all !

  340. What a perfect cooker , non toxic and can be used for cooking rice, steaming and making yogurt. WOW! I see more room in my kitchen

  341. Anytime I can cook and eat healthy, chemical and toxin free, non-GMO, etc…. I am all for it!

  345. It will enhance the way we eat and cook in our household. We are a multigenerational household and it is nice that we all are on the page about eating healthy!

  348. This is the best giveaway! I like the cooker’s versatility, and I’d use each of the options. Thank you!

  352. My slow cooker just bit the dust! So being able to replace with something that fits our life style would be awesome!

  353. The Vita Clay Smart Organic Slow Cooker is toxic free which is very appealing and I like the fact that the cooker has a clay inner liner and it also comes with a yogurt maker.

  359. would love to win this – I use my slow cooker all the time and this one looks especially awesome!!!
    love making soups and roasts in the slow cooker – though I am tempted to try and make some deserts…

  365. Thanks for the contest. This looks like a great way to bring toxin free food sanity back into my life!

  367. Awesome product! Would love to add to my kitchen. Have been wanting to do bone broth every week, and this would be great. Also, would love to make my own yogurt.

  376. This looks like an interesting product. I like that it has multiple purposes. My crockpot is starting to go after 15 years of use. I would really like to try it to make yogurt. I make my own but it would be nice to find an easier way to do so.

  377. I have been researching non-toxic ways to cook for a while, but I haven’t been able to afford anything yet. This is one that I have not heard about yet and is now on my wish list. I’m excited to try so many new things 🙂

  378. This sounds so great for preparing vegetarian / vegan dishes, and whole meals in 30 minutes

  379. Wow! What a great product. I have wanted a rice cooker forever that isn’t aluminum and am also in need of a slow cooker and yogurt maker. I had no idea this multi-tasker even existed. So excited!

  381. I love that it gives me the piece of mind of knowing that nothing will leech into my food. This is a fantastic product and allows me to cook worry free!!

  384. I had just been researching rice cookers and came across the VitaClay when I was considering stainless steel. I instantly put VitaClay in my wish list on amazon when I saw that a clay cooker existed. How exciting!

  387. I like that it is clay & stainless steel both of which are non- toxic! I have been think about a clay oven, so this is great! Thanks for this giveaway, I wouldn’t know about this cooking item.

  388. The idea of having all these cookware items in one ‘machine’–is good.
    As convenient and space-saving as it would be, I would not BUY one, UNLESS…
    it had a SAFE inside-container to cook items in. Rice Cookers & yogurt makers
    usually are aluminum-coated on the inside…so are ice cream makers, for that matter.
    But the creators of THIS item have done their homework, and KNOW what we are REALLY
    looking for: Convenience & Safety
    To think…I could get rid of all those machines and feel safer about eating from
    this VITACLAY SMART ORGANIC MULTICOOKER…I would have to tell everyone!!!
    In fact I will start doing so…before this prize is given out…it’s THAT cool of an item!!! 🙂

  390. The fact the multi-cooker is non-toxic is great. I have a slow cooker that uses the non-toxic clay pot insert makes the best foods I have ever tasted. It does not add or take away from the food or seasonings I use in it.

  391. We have a large family, so our slow cooker is a staple in our kitchen. A healthy, large, faster cooker sounds wonderful!

  397. This sounds like an awesome addition to healthier cooking. Very versatile as well…would be a good investment!

  398. So ironic that I was just frowning at my crock pot today. I would love love love this.

  400. Looks like a great way to cook a meal. I love my crock pot so I know I would enjoy cooking with this.

  402. I would love to try roasting a chicken and cooking rice in one. I am constantly searching for an easier way to roast a chicken that my husband will eat!

  405. I’m most excited about having one less source of toxins to worry about while pregnant! Plus making yoghurt in it sounds really great, too, since we’re getting a herd share soon and will finally have an abundance of raw milk.

  407. Aloha Andrea, mahalo nui loa for all that you share. I’ve learned many things from you that have helped to change my life. OMG, who wouldn’t want one of these non toxic, nutrient saving, incredible cookers!! Fabulousness!! Am off to their YT channel to see what this baby is capable of. Happy New Year!

  408. Our family is working on improving our health by trying to cook as much organically as possible. It concerns me that while we pay extra for toxin free food I may be adding some into that clean food while I cook it from my appliances. It would be great to have a rice cooker that didn’t do this. My current one is more than 15 years old and plastic 🙁

  409. I have not heard of this product before. It looks like it would fit right in to my family’s kitchen just great and get used a lot!

  413. I cook rice and quinoa in my little rice cooker all the time. I’d love to have one made of clay. How much healthier would that be!

  415. Always looking to better my family’s life, have been replacing ingredients/ products used to natural and organic when possible – so glad to be given an opportunity to win such an amazing product – Thank You

  416. I am most excited that I would be able to take comfort in knowing that what I am making for my family is not contaminated by toxins…

  417. So need this! To be able to get rid of three for appliances one would be great for my small kitchen.

  419. I love cooking for my family. Making things homemade meals is one way I can assure less toxins for my family. I can’t control everything they come into contact with. This world is full of toxins in just the air alone anymore (I was a smog baby so I know how detrimental toxic air can be) but at home, I can make sure their food is toxin-free and full of the right nutrition to help them fight the toxins they becomes exposed to.

  420. My fiance and I are new home owners and still getting used to everything. Trying to eat healthy and prepare healthy food isn’t always easy, but we do try. I had never even heard of the VitaClay before! I definitely think this will (hopefully someday) join our kitchen-family, thanks so much for sharing!

  422. I’ve never seen anything like this before in my country (Netherlands), might as well become a huge hit over here. Nowadays people are getting more and more aware food, health, sustainability…this just covers it all! Awesome

  423. Thanks so much for the giveaway Andrea! I adore your blog, I’ve learned so much from you and I’ve recently been reading posts on wellness mama about the cookware she uses. How timely! 🙂

  426. This gadget sounds amazing. I like that is can be programmed, that is always nice in my busy household. I usually try to start my suppers 1st thing in the morning because once the kids are awake I may never have another chance. I also like the capacity of this because we have 6 people in our household, 3 of which are growing boys who can eat LOTS of food!

  427. My family is interested in not using our microwave anymore. Would this help re-heat food and not dry it out?

  428. I would love the flavorful foods it could give us. I already use a clay baker and I love what it does for my foods but it does take time. The Vitaclay is so unique and it is something I have been hoping to get for some time.

  430. This looks great! I currently make yogurt in my crockpot & will be very interested in your post about making it in this 🙂

  432. This looks awesome. Love the fact it is non-toxic, trying to go more natural in cleaning supplies and gadgets. Sounds so much better than an ordinary crock pot.

  433. I have been researching slow cookers – this is the first non-toxic one I have come across. Very excited about trying it!

  437. Soo exited to have a healthy rice cooker option! Wow! Thanks for sharing such an amazing resource!

  438. I haven’t heard of this! Thank you for sharing some info on it! Always looking for healthier cooking!

  439. I’m always looking for easy ways to cook without adding anything unwanted to my food.

  441. Oh, I would love this! I might ask for it for my birthday if I don’t win it. I use my slow cooker several times a week but sometimes (pretty often really) I don’t have a chance to get dinner in the slow cooker until 1- 2pm, this fast slow cooker would be perfect plus the comfort of knowing it is for sure non-toxic. I also make goat milk yogurt and this would be awesome for that!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  443. This will be the beginning of many clay derived cookware brought back into the kitchen!! Yay!

  444. I bake many different things in three clay pots that I have, I’d LOVE to add this to my collection. A baked chicken in a clay pot is to die for!

  445. I use a slow cooker all the time due to being a busy working single mom and the thought of toxins emitting from it never crossed my mind. Don’t know if I can use the old one again now after that so this new toxin free slow cooker would be an awesome thing for me!

  446. I’m not particularly fond of the slow cooker that we now have, this one looks like one that would be used a great deal more often.

  447. We are trying to eat more healthy and naturally. We use crockpots a lot in our house in order to feed our family of 8.

  448. I’m always looking for healthy alternatives–it would be great to have a healthy slow cooker as well!

  449. I would really love to win this. I need all the help I can get with eating healthier. For my mom and myself!

  450. I would love to win this! My slow cooker is over 20 years old and on its last leg. One that can do multiple things would be ideal! A good way to stay on the healthy road! I am ready!

  452. I’ve had foods cooked in unglazed clay pots before (baked garlic is exceptionally yummy) and the flavors are much more intense. I would love to have a slow cooker that uses unglazed clay.

  453. This looks like a great alternative to a “normal” slow cooker. I am very interested in learning more about them. Thanks for the opportunity to win one! Good luck!

  454. I having been looking for an alternative to my vegetable/rice steamer that died a few months back. I have also recently started milking goats (once a week) for the raw milk. I would love to make my own yogurt, but I do not have anything in which to make the yogurt and keep it at the right temps. This cooker would solve several of my problems and I could see using it multiple times a week!

  455. The idea of toxin free cooking is awesome. All the things that can be prepared in the multi-cooker is amazing.

  456. I just received the email today and wow all the subscribers you have is amazing for this website. I have learned so much from this website and the other subscribers. I truly enjoy it. Thank you. Would you please add another entry for the vitacooker. I truly do love this website thanks again.

  458. looks really cool, would love to get one and learn ALL that I can do with it,,,, would love it for yogurt!

  459. I have never seen this product before. So excited to learn more about it. Would love to have one. I am a huge yogurt fan and never considered making my own!

  460. My resolution is to get me and my family healthier. By eating as much whole and organic foods as possible. My prob is being disabled makes it hard to summon enough energy to be able to cook healthfully. This wonderful beauty would make it sooo much easier!

  461. I would love to swap out my rice cooker for something that will do more, and in a healthier way!

  462. I’ve been looking for a toxic free rice cooker and I want to start making my own yogurt. This would be the perfect addition to my kitchen!! Thank you for the giveaway!

  465. I would love to replace my standard slow cooker and Rishi rice cooker with this one machine. Love the clay insert.

  466. We use our rice steamer and our crock pot all the time would be great to have them combined and toxin free.

  468. I always worry about using my slow cooker due to the possibility of lead or other toxins leaching into the food. This slow cooker sounds amazing! I love all of the options it would open for us and how much time it would save for me. Thank you for offering this giveaway!

  469. I love the fact that it’s healthy cooking, and can make yogurt!! (We’ve been wanting to start making our own yogurt, but have been a little intimidated). I wish it were more in my price league though :(…really want one, as my husband was raised “if you don’t grow it, you don’t eat it”, and we eat as healthy as we can, but, sadly, this will have to be on a wish list for awhile :(.

  473. I hadn’t really given it much thought that the crockpot I use might be toxic until reading this post. I had been thinking about a rice cooker but didn’t like the idea of the chemicals that are in the coating in the inserts. Thanks for this post and for offering this giveaway!

  474. I have been trying to put together a group of healthier cooking items. The Crockery system
    would be an excellent item!!

  475. Wow to cook knowing there is nothing harmful in your cookware when you go to such lengths at trying to cook safely this product would definitely put those thoughts at ease.

  476. What a great idea, and such a great offer! A way to make 24 hour yogurt an even more healthy treat (current yogurt maker is plastic and I’m sure full of BPA and other harmful chemicals that seep into the yogurt with heat, but it was all I knew).

  477. I need this for so many reasons. I really want to start making Yogurt though. I am trying to eat natural to cure a few health problems and this would sure help!

  478. I love how versatile this slow cooker is! So many options to choose from. Would be a great addition to any kitchen.

  479. Any opportunity to reduce the toxins in my foods is always welcomed!
    It will be wonderful to feed my family our fresh foods without adding trash

  480. With having a child with Aspergers and trying to cut back or eliminate extra chemicals on a very limited income this would be awesome to have. But I wish all good luck and thank you for giving us a chance to win this.

  482. It would be such a neat blessing to have something like this to benefit our health with as well as make my life easier. We have quite a few health issues and would love to have something like this.

  483. I am so excited to find out about the Vitaclay cooker. It is amazing. ?. I’m hoping to get one soon.

  484. I live in a small condo. To have an appliance that can do so many tasks means I can rid myself of 3 bulky appliances. I love Greek yogurt and I have two yogurt makers going at all times. If I can make 8 cups of yogurt at a time that would be a great time saver

  486. The fact that it is toxin free is the biggest thing and that it will replace several other appliances!

  489. I have embarked on a quest to heal myself…after have contracting Lyme disease. Toxins are my enemy…quite literally… preservatives…excess sodium…added sugar…and the like have driven me to prepare all of our food at home…with fresh ingredients… I’m not going to let this chronic disease get me…and the Vitaclay Multicooker would be a huge help in my fight….particularly on days when the fatigue makes it hard to even drag myself out of bed to eat…let alone cook…

  490. I use my crockpot on a regular basis but have always been concerned about the toxins it puts in our food so love that this us toxic free & bonus that I can make yogurt!

  491. What most excites me about having a toxin-free slow cooker is the possibilities it opens up for new recipes my family and I can try! The idea of making our own yogurt is just one, and would be so much fun! I could finally make one with goat milk (which I certainly can’t afford in the store!) that everyone can enjoy together, instead of keeping dairy products separate due to my youngest one’s intolerance to cow and soy milk. Thanks so much!

  493. What a great product….I cook ALL the time and I can only imagine what a difference this could make!
