Instructions: For Anne who was asking about clay cookers. I have two, one I use for roasting chickens and one that I use to bake bread. I do not have a problem with bread sticking in it because I lightly spray the bottom half with Pam and then sprinkle in a little corn meal. I then put in the shaped dough that has gone through the bread machine. I cover it and let it rise for an hour. I then take off the lid and soak it in warm water for 15 mins. Meanwhile the oven has been preheating at 425 for 30 mins. While the lid is soaking, I lightly cover the dough with a towel. I put the cover back on and it goes into the oven. It bakes for 20 mins covered, and 20 mins uncovered. The bread has a wonderful, crispy crust.

For the chicken, I lightly spray the bottom with Pam, then I take a whole bag of French-cut green beans (frozen) and put them on the bottom. I put the whole chicken on top and bake it between 45 mins and an hour, depending on the size of the chicken.
