The dishes are gently cooked in their own juices in the Dutch oven, thanks to the constant radiant heat within the pot. This creates the unique Dutch oven flavor. Made from robust cast iron, the Dutch oven is the ideal companion for camping, outdoor, and leisure activities. You can use the cast iron pot not only over an open fire but also in your kitchen oven to prepare delicious meals. The lid of the pot can optionally be used as a serving platter or pan. Just give it a try. Thanks to the pre-treated surface of the Dutch oven, the Petromax pot can be used immediately and does not require additional seasoning, unlike other cast iron pans and pots.
