  • Place the lid on the clay pot and close the VitaClay. Turn the VitaClay on the slow cooking setting and select "stew." Set it to cook for four hours.
  • When the kalua pork roast is done, shred it with a fork and let it sit in the juices while the VitaClay is on the warm setting (which automatically kicks on after the cook cycle is complete.
  • While the pork soaks up the juices, prepare the butter braised cabbage and onions. Start the butter cooking in a large skillet on low-medium.
  • Chop the cabbage and onion into thin slices.
  • Cook the sliced cabbage and onion in the butter, stirring it to make sure you're putting a sear on all sides, then place a lid on the skillet and cook until soft, about ten minutes.
