Leslie Steinberg's Gluten & Dairy Free Chicken Pot Pie, Dumpling Stye
1 ½ pounds of boneless/skinless chicken breasts (or more)
3-4 carrots cut into bite sized pieces
2-3 celery stalks cut into bite sized pieces
1 medium onion cut up into bite sized pieces
2 Tbsp. bouillon (or use vegge or chicken stock instead of water)
2 cloves of fresh garlic pressed
1-2 cups of quartered mushrooms
3 Tbsp. Tapioca Flour (or other gluten free flour) mixed in with ½
cup water.
Put first 6 ingredients in Rockcrok on medium high heat with water (or broth) to just cover the
veggies & chicken. Bring to a boil & then simmer for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked
through. Remove chicken & once cooled enough to handle, use Salad choppers to cut chicken into
bite sized pieces. While veggies & broth are continuing to simmer, pour the flour/water combo in to
thicken stock. Add chicken back in & add in mushrooms at this time.
Top with gluten free “biscuit” mixture (read below). Bake at 400 for 16-20 minutes until biscuits are
browned to your liking.
To make biscuits, I used Gluten Free Bisquick from the grocery store & followed directions on their
box except where they added milk, I added plain water.

Ceramic cookware heats up differently than metal cookware. It is important to learn to
adjust the heat settings as needed when cooking with your Rockcrok™. Remember to
preheat on medium heat setting or per the directions given for the recipe included with
your Rockcrok™. As needed, lower the heat and move foods around to help promote
even browning.
Can I use nonstick spray when cooking?
No. Nonstick sprays create an invisible buildup which can be difficult to clean and affect
the ease of release of foods. Per the Use & Care, use of nonstick sprays will void the
guarantee.
Is the glaze a nonstick surface?
It is not a nonstick surface, but you will find foods release easily.
Can I use metal utensils?
No. Metal utensils could cause chipping or damage to the glaze and will void the guarantee. Is it refrigerator-safe?
Yes, it is refrigerator-safe. And, the pan can go directly from the refrigerator to oven,
stovetop or microwave to reheat food.

CLEANING
How can I remove blackened residues on the inside bottom of the pan?
The black residues are from cooked-on food residues (or fond). This is to be expected with this
type of cookware. For easiest cleanup, it is recommended to fill the pan with water and heat on
the stovetop. Use a wooden or bamboo spoon to scrape away the residues. Finish cleaning by
hand washing or dishwashing. If after dishwashing any residues are still present, try deep
cleaning with a non-bleach all-purpose liquid or powdered cleanser that is safe for cookware
(Ex: Bar Keeper’s Friend or Cameo).
Can I remove the residues on the unglazed foot ring on the bottom of the pan?
The marks are considered normal wear and tear and cannot be removed. This will not
affect the performance of the pan.
Why can’t I soak the pan for an extended period of time?
The bottom foot ring is unglazed. If the pan is soaked for a long duration of time, some
water could be absorbed in the foot ring which could cause stress to the ceramic.
