The Campfire Cast Iron Potjie Pot is great for cooking a variety of foods including meat dishes or larger pieces of meat, vegetables and rice. The rounded shape helps to collect liquid in the bottom of the pot, requiring only a small amount of liquids to be added. The potjie pot can be used by placing the pot over hot coals, either on an open fire or on top of a grill. Its 3-legged design props it up over your coals, allowing air to circulate for more consistent cooking results. It also features a durable steel spiral carry handle which is comfortable to grip so you can move it around easily.
Cooking with a Potjie Pot:
Place coals under and around the pot. The heat can be regulated through moving coals closer or further away from the pot
If a loud bubbling sound can be heard from two metres away the heat is too high
If you can hear a soft simmer the temperature is right. Keep a fire going close by for new hot coals to be added as required
Avoid placing the potjie pot over flames as this may weaken the cast iron and can lead to cracking
Avoid adding cold liquids into a warm potjie pot
When adding liquids pre-heat to boiling temperature or add very small amounts at a time
Always wash a warm potjie pot with hot water or let it cool completely before washing it
