Durotherm - alternative cooking method
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 Madeliene - I checked in with the recipe developers who worked on our Durotherm recipes and they said they can be modified to traditional cookware. In some cases, our Durotherm recipes are the same as the corresponding traditional recipe whereas in others we had to make some key changes. Was there a particular recipe you were hoping to make? It might help me pinpoint what changes to make in that particular recipe. Let me know! Best, Lynn C.
How about this one: https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/red-lentil-soup-with-coconut-milk-and-spinach-durotherm
Hi Jane - You can find the traditional version of the recipe here. Happy cooking! Best, Lynn C.
What would be the modifications to this recipe: https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/steel-cut-oats-with-cardamom-apricot-and-pistachio-durotherm, using traditional cookware?
How about stewed Tuscan beans? https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/stewed-tuscan-beans-durotherm

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 - https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/white-beans-with-sage-garlic-and-fennel?allow_token=b993113f-c19e-4692-a820-8a5190b749bd - 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.
