Michael -Size 10 Potjie Pot

This large cast-iron cauldron is designed according to the shape of the potjie, a cooking vessel that archaeologists have found throughout the world dating back to the Iron Age. The potjie has lasted until modern times because it is a pinnacle of iron cookware design. A deep, nearly spherical belly, horizontally ribbed, is supported by tripod legs, while a round lid fits neatly into the wide mouth.

At 15 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 55 pounds, this is a monumental piece that gives both soup and spell-work a stable vessel. It’s pure iron belly holds 7.5 gallons 

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.
