I am a cheater.

(hamburger & onions in Clay Coyote pot)

Okay time for a confession. I haven't fried hamburger in a pan on my stove in YEARS.

I put it in my Clay Coyote Cassoulet: http://www.claycoyote.com/index.cfm/Stoneware-Pottery-Cassole-(-Cassoulet-Pot-)/n/fuseaction/product.display/product_id/12/
then put it in the microwave. I put it in for 2 minutes increments. Taking it out each time, and breaking it up and then putting it back in. It takes about 10 minutes. Zero splatter. If I am making spaghetti sauce, I throw that in once it is cooked and microwave a bit more. Done. All in one pot. NICE~
