#2 Potjie Flat Bottom
Bean pot
Pure Cast Iron

Traditional iron cookware is slightly modified to be useful for cooking both the old way and the new. This flat-bottomed potjie has a surprisingly large capacity and durable foundry construction. The squat belly of the pot is ribbed with concentric rings.  A well-fitting lid and arched, free-moving handle enhance the pot's utility.

This flat bottom is a low-profile @6.5 inches high and @11 inches wide. It holds @7 quarts of food and weighs a stable, sturdy 17 pounds when empty. It is pre-seasoned, and periodic proper re-seasoning will give it a lifetime as long as yours.

This sturdy flat bottomed kettle will turn your kitchen into an old-fashioned cooking sanctuary-just like your grandmother had.  Unlike your Grandmother's kettles these 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 used.  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 from the old days.

Our flat-bottomed potjies (pronounced “poikeys”) are a re-imagining of a time-tested form of cooking pot that has been used throughout Europe and Africa since at least the 1600s, and possibly as far back as the Iron Age. They adapt the cast-iron construction and rounded shape that cause potjies to cook food so evenly and well, compromised with a flat bottom so that this exceptional sample of ancient crafters' genius can be used on modern stovetops. Each potjie pot is equipped with a sturdy handle for lifting and a well-fitted lid. Cook in your flat-bottomed potjie by hanging it over a fire or placing it on a stove burner, or pile hot coals against the deep lip of the lid to make an efficient Dutch oven.
