Cast Iron Pots and Pans

[Pineapple Smurf]

I love cooking with cast iron
Here are some of the items I have
There is a number 2 Afritrail potjiepot in my caravan at the dam, so no pic of it here

Best Duty number 3 size, round with a flat bottom

Number 10 which uses a number 3 lid
Found this abandoned at a campsite so I took it home and cleaned it, my Falkirk lid fits perfectly
This pot makes a perfect camp bread as it is easy to get the bread out

My Falkirk number 3 that my Dad gave to me in 2001, he bought it brand new in the 80's

My Falkirk 1/4 size and LK's 1/4 size together
I use the Falkirk once a year for rice for a bachelor potjie

Best Duty size 1/2
Round with a flat bottom
Makes a really good size potjie for 2 people camping
My Dad gave me this one in 2009

Also use it on the weber coals when I make my homemade chicken schnitzels

It's pineapple smurf fetish thing.

My cadac poetjie that I need burn clean this weekend after it got left out in the rain.

Love Cadac poetjie pots.

This flat bottom gets used the most as cast iron is induction friendly.

Love my cast iron wok, need to oil it today as we toss it through the dishwasher. Started using peanut oil which works great.

Crêpe / pancake pan.

Really nice to have if you have kids.

Megamaster bread pot. Had it for years before I started to use it this year and now it's our favourite when we braai.

Roll the dough into balls, fill it up, cover with coals and then wait for the best bread ever.

Bought one of these, covered with rust, for R5 at some Durban market about 15yrs ago - I use it very often, but mostly for pan-roasted seeds for garnish... which is not what a real cast iron skillet should be used for!

^ Nice collection there @Other Pineapple Smurf . That Cadac potjie is a very unique shape, never seen anything like that.

I always clean my cast iron immediately after use with hot running water and as little washing up liquids as possible as Ive heard these can penetrate the cast iron. I am also so done trying to keep it oiled, it creates a sticky residue.

Now what I do is once it is bonedry I spray a very very very fine coat with Spray and Cook and this works 100% perfect, no rust and no oily residue.

Aaaaah thanx @scudsucker , now I know what the hell I bought, must give it a try
