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.
