Royal VKB Slowcooker
Slowcooker
With the introduction of our Slowcooker, Royal VKB embraces the
latest trend in the kitchen: slow cooking. Fresh ingredients are put in
the Slowcooker without the need for oil as the slow and gentle cooking
process itself tenderises the ingredients allowing their full flavours to
come out. All the original vitamins, minerals and flavours are fully
preserved during this method of cooking. Once the Slowcooker has
been placed in the oven, the chef can then relax, their job is done!
The Slowcooker can be used in two ways simply by turning it over: the
white dish is very suitable for the preparation of meals for one person
or side dishes whilst the larger terracotta bowl can be used for meals
for 2-3 persons. Please note though that the terracotta part of the
Slowcooker must always be immersed in cold water for 10 minutes
before filling it with any ingredients. Once filled the Slowcooker can
be placed straight into a cold oven and then be heated to a maximum
of 230°C. Due to the porous nature of the terracotta material, the
Slowcooker is ideal for the preparation of stews. As the ceramic is
moisture-retaining, steam is released while the dish heats up in the
oven, it is this action that makes the use of oil redundant as the
steam makes sure the dish is thoroughly cooked without drying-up
or getting burnt.
The Slowcooker comes with unique silicone rings on both the top and
bottom halves providing the Slowcooker with more stability and as
well as acting as a trivet for the protection of the dinner table. This
allows you to take the Slowcooker straight from the oven to the table
and then use it not only as a serving dish but also to eat from.
The Slowcooker is made of stoneware material and packed in an
attractive full colour gift box with a recipe manual for some delicious
meals.
Margriet Foolen
The Slowcooker has been designed by Dutch designer, Margriet
Foolen (1982). The terracotta casserole was
her graduation project at the Design Academy
in Eindhoven (NL). On graduation, this young
and promising designer immediately launched
her own design studio in Bergen op Zoom (NL).
She also produces several designs under the
trademark “divers”. Because of the creative
and innovating aspects, the Slow Cooking was
rewarded with the Design Plus Award and the
international Red Dot Award 2008 for product
design.

Royal VKB Slowcooker XL
Slowcooker XL
With the introduction of the original Slowcooker, Royal VKB embraced
the latest trend in the kitchen: slow cooking. Because of the
enthusiasm for this healthy way of cooking, the Slowcooker XL has
now been added to the range, especially for preparing meals for three
to four people.
Fresh ingredients are put in the Slowcooker XL without the need
for oil as the slow and gentle cooking process itself tenderises the
ingredients allowing their full flavours to come out. All the original
vitamins, minerals and flavours are fully preserved during this method
of cooking. Once the Slowcooker has been placed in the over, the chef
can then relax, their job is done!
As with our original Slowcooker the terracotta part of the Slowcooker
XL must always be immersed in cold water before filling it with
ingredients. Once filled the Slowcooker XL can be placed straight into
a cold oven and then be heated to a maximum of 230°. Due to the
porous nature of the terracotta material the Slowcooker XL is ideal for
the preparation of stews. As the ceramic is moisture-retaining, steam
is released while the dish heats up in the oven, it is this action that
makes the use of oil redundant as the steam makes sure the dish is
thoroughly cooked without drying up or getting burnt.
The Slowcooker XL also comes with unique silicone rings on both the
top and bottom halves providing the Slowcooker with more stability
and as well as acting like a trivet for the protection of the dinner Table.
This allows you to take the Slowcooker XL straight from the oven to
