Review by Barbara in Melbourne, FL for VitaClay VF7700-6 Chef Gourmet 6-Cup Rice and Slow Cooker Rating: I like cooking in a clay pot rather than aluminum. I've tried brown rice and soup in it and both are excellent. Moisture does collect in the rubber gasket of the outer container lid so care must be taken that it's completely dry before storing it. I'm very careful in handling the clay pot. It seems like it could be fragile and the instructions warn against temperature extremes.

Review by ycdesign for VitaClay VF7700-6 Chef Gourmet 6-Cup Rice and Slow Cooker Rating: I have been searching for a healthy rice cooker for quite a long time. There are plenty of non stick coated aluminum rice cookers out there in the market, but this one is the healthiest one I can find so far. I have owned this multifunction rice cooker for a few weeks, so far it works very well. But this little gem needs more improvement: The timer should be four digits display and should have + and - buttons. Please add on a preset timer function. If they change the aluminum part of the cover to stainless steel, it will be even healthier though this part doesn't contact food directly but when the steam accumulates, it drops into clay pot eventually. After these few improvements, it will be a 5 stars!

Review by E. Maynard for VitaClay VF7700-6 Chef Gourmet 6-Cup Rice and Slow Cooker Rating: I love this rice cooker so much that I bought it for several family members for Christmas. I would suggest the 8-cup for families as the 6-cup can be a bit too small for stews and slow-cooking. It is so great to not have to worry about the non-stick coating found on almost all other rice cookers. Clean up is super easy...if stuff gets stuck to it, let it soak with water and it's easy to get clean. I LOVE it!!!

Review by Ivan's Dad for VitaClay VF7700-6 Chef Gourmet 6-Cup Rice and Slow Cooker Rating: Works well with white or brown rice. My favorite use is for oatmeal,
1/2 cup steel cut oats
1/2 cup mixed grains(flax seed, quinoa, millet, barley, wheatberries, rye,
lentils, split peas)
2 1/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon spice, cinammon, ginger, turmeric, etc
cook on brown rice setting
top w/ frozen blue berries when done cooking, or raisins, or dried apricots
mix w/ 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil, 1 tablespoon mollasses

2 whopping servings of flavor,texture,fiber, iron.

Just don't drop the lid it will break,

Review by Jennifer King for VitaClay VF7700-6 Chef Gourmet 6-Cup Rice and Slow Cooker Rating: I received this product as a gift and I love it! Stews are effortless. Just cut up some veggies and meat, add stock and press "stew". In four hours it's perfect. This machine turns really tough inexpensive cuts of meat into tender stews and soups.

The rice cooks much better than in the cheaper rice cooker I have. No "crunchy" rice at the bottom of the pot.

There's something about the clay cooking which cooks the food more evenly. It is also very easy to clean. There are many other features this cooker has which I haven't explored yet (the product comes with a recipe book), but even if it just made rice and stew I'd say it was an excellent buy!
