Cast Iron Potjie and Seasoning - SHTF cookware

I show and tell about our cast iron potjie, a pot popular in South Africa, and show you how I season cast iron with little muss, fuss, or smell.

I sure do love my cast iron, I've been considering a dutch oven, but now that you have shared with us the potjie I couldn't resist it and then I had to order a Bruntmore #2 from Amazon. So cool, I ant wait to try it. Thank You Pastor Joe Fox!

Ah, potjiekos. Good stuff! Takes me back...

[chiefonelung]

I like that potjie. Thanks for the info. Spring is slowly trying to come here to me on the Cumberland Plateau Tennessee. I am over anxious to get the garden going. I also preserve and raise most all of what I eat. I love watching you. A great Channel.

Nothing beats a good potjie pot full of food! Good to know you're on the potjie bandwagon!

I truly love cast iron. Reminds me of my youth working one season on a shrimp boat. The captain and I the deck hand. I had to cook as well. First time I fried fresh shrimp ( oh that’s so delicious). Well after dinner I had to wash the dishes. I proceeded to apply damn to the cast iron skillet. Well I was lucky all the cast iron skillets as well as the anchor were not tied to my legs and thrown overboard 😂😂😂. No but I learned a life lesson in how not to clean cast iron!!!!

Ron Hood RIP, one of my favorite quotes " the more you know, the less gear you need !

Lard is old school way of seasoning, so that's what I use.  Thanks for vid.

It might sound silly but I've been somewhat intimidated by new/ un seasoned cast iron. The pieces that we use have been around longer than I have. Very good care has made them last and I expect to be able to give them to my daughter some day. I never thought to season on the grill, it certainly eliminates the smoky house issue. I'm thinking that I might splurge on the new, larger Dutch oven that I have been eyeing for camping trips. Thank you for sharing this Pastor.

My husband bought me a Sun Oven and I absolutely love it. we've used it for a year even on a very cold day if the Sun is out you can use it

First season I do is always saffron oil. It has a high burn point. Good stuff, thanks Pastor.

in portugal we still have them, used to cook soup, boiled meals or stew, in open fire, outside or inside open fireplaces, normaly in the extra kitchen that as a brick oven, fireplace, cast iron stove...so cool...you can make marvellous tasty food with that " panela de ferro de 3 pernas" :-)

Great. Another type of cast iron to check out. Been baking bread in a smaller Dutch oven lately. Great taste and made with my own two hands ... not even a spoon much less a mixer. Cool on several different levels.

Good day sir.. I am from South Africa and Love how you pronounced potjie its exactly right!! BTW the food you make In it is called potjiekos.. Not stew.. 😊
Also the rings, around the pot.. And Best Duty is a well name brand here in SA all us Afrikaners use it.. Is to be 'n guide for how many people you want to cook The number of rings on your potjie pot multiplied by the size of the pot equals the number of servings it can make. For example, a size 3 pot has 4 rings on the outside, therefore it can hold up to 12 servings of your favourite, homemade potjie!
Enjoy!

Hey PJ I have 2 of the copper skillets for over a year now I use the quite often. The larger 10 inch one for whatever reason is no longer a nonstick skillet. The smaller 8 inch is beginning to do the same with foods sticking to it in little spots in it. Still use em but need a touch of oil in them now to cook without foods sticking.

It’s my first time running into this channel pastor. I like what u do. I’m a man of faith also. Your a smart man. I been having a lot thoughts about Awareness, and how to react Towards a Collapse. But I’m not sure how to perform when these Actions happen or what should I do. But I’m learning how to prepare. God bless you . Hope to have your feedback. ✊🏼

Your spring weather makes me jealous. Its snowing here today, with 2 feet on the ground.

[audreynanapreps]

I just ordered skillet from China mart! God bless you and yours!

If you look up Ting you will see a bronze Chinese version of this they made more than 5000 years ago. I have seen them in the museum. Pretty cool!
