This potjie measures 12 inches in height and the same in width. The belly will hold or efficiently heat 10 quarts of material. Its weight is 30 pounds heavy and stable, but still relatively easy to move with its firm and durable handle, which can also be used to hang it from a tripod or kettle hook. Potjie pots are newly manufactured and coated with a baked on vegetable oil to preserve the cast iron.
Seasoning these cooking pots in the old fashioned way with a good shortening or vegetable oil will blacken them naturally over time and with use, this will also make the pot stronger and more elastic (yes, cast iron, can become brittle), resulting in a more beautiful pot like cast iron form the old days. Potjie Pots are made in many sizes from small herb pots to large cook kettles. Pots include well-fitted lids and heavy duty carrying handles. The round shape allows the heat to flow evenly around the sides and maintain liquids at the lowest point to keep food from burning. The lid has a deep lip for holding hot coals providing top heat.
