Product Description

Since the Iron-age, the cast iron potjiekos was not only used for cooking, but also shrouded in mystery because witches and druids favored these pots for their rituals and ceremonies. Ideally designed for cooking over an open fire, the round belly three legged pot was created during this age. In the mid 1600’s, early explorers who used these pots exclusively on their expeditions, brought the tradition and style of the potjiekos pot to Africa. The Africans, after seeing the practicality of the cast iron pot, were quick to trade animals, hides and other commodities, to replace clay pots that were usually used for cooking.
