PREPARATION BEFORE FIRST USE: 1. Rinse thoroughly with boiling water and dry completely. 2. Coat the inside with cooking oil or vegetable fat. 3. Heat until the pot begins to smoke. 4. Allow to cool, then wipe the inside clean with a paper towel. 5. Repeat until the paper towel wipes clean – your potjie is now ready to cook. The more you use it, the better the natural seasoning becomes. AFTER EACH USE: - Rinse with warm water and use a brush or scraper to remove stuck-on bits. - For stubborn residue, scrub with a mixture of salt and oil, then rinse and wipe clean. - Dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to the inside. - Allow to cool and store until next use. STORAGE: - After washing, place over gentle heat to remove all moisture. - Lightly coat the inside with cooking oil or non-stick spray. - Store with the lid on and a sheet of absorbent paper inside to prevent moisture build-up. QUICK DOS & DON’TS FOR CAST IRON: - Do cook a variety of foods, including eggs, tomatoes, and fish – with practice they come out perfectly. - Do start with simple, higher-fat dishes at first to build up good seasoning. - Do use gentle utensils like wood, silicone or rubber. Occasional metal use is fine, but avoid aggressive scraping. - Don’t store food in the pot – it can damage the seasoning and affect flavour. - Do clean the pot soon after cooking and avoid soaking it in water. This traditional 3-legged cast iron potjie is a dependable, long-term investment for anyone who loves outdoor cooking, slow-food recipes and authentic flavour.
