Can You Make Durotherm Recipes in a Regular Pot?

Asked Aug 21, 2019 by Madeliene O.

Hello,

For recipes using a Durotherm, can you just use a regular pot instead (but perhaps cook longer)?

I don't have a Durotherm and was hoping to avoid purchasing another gadget - for now.

It seems the downside of not using a Durotherm is you may loose some flavor as well as vitamins and minerals.

Thank you,

Madeliene

      Hi Frank - I think I answered your question yesterday via email. I’ve copied my response here as well. Good luck! Best, Lynn C

      This recipe was developed exclusively for the Durotherm so we haven’t tested a stovetop version. That being said, this recipe -  - is very similar and provides instructions for using dried beans in the headnote of the recipe. I think you could probably combine these two recipes to get the version you want.
