Traditional Cast Iron Potjie Pots of South Africa
Known in Africa as the "potjie" - pronounced "poi-kei", these cast iron pots came to the African continent during the late middle ages with the Dutch and English settlers. The potjie has co-existed with Aftican culture for centuries, refining this age old pot style. This modern replica is finely cast and fully pre-seasoned for your convenience.

The potjie (cast iron pot), because of its unique design, is the ultimate alternative energy cooking pot available. Because of its tall legs, the potjie is ideal for setting over coals and works just as well over a gas range/burner or open fire. Due to its unique shape, the potjie will absorb the maximum possible heat from the source, where other flat bottomed brands will deflect heat unless perfectly level.

3 Leg Cast Iron (Potjie) Pots
  • The 3 legs and round belly shape allows even heat distribution around the pot.
  • Maintains the liquids at the lowest point to prevent the food from burning.
  • Domed lid allows for optimal heat circulation.
  • The peripheral gutter on the lid can be used for coals also.
  • The opposing side handles and thick wire lifting handles make handling easy.
  • the tall legs make it ideal for cooking directly over fire/coals or a gas range.
  • Lifetime warranty

* Note: A7548, A7205, A7206 and A7207 are too big for UPS to handle and must ship by a commercial trucking company. Though these are in our shopping cart these must go via commercial trucking. Commercial truck is more variable and must be quoted seperately. If interested, give us a call or e-mail us with a possible ship to address and we will respond ASAP with our lowest possible shipping quotation. Keep in mind that if it can be shipped to a business with a forklift the rates will be much lower.

The Potjie Pots also make great planters.

See the Potjie Cookbook in the literature department.

Though these are generally in stock, if for some reason stock is out, please allow time for a fresh batch to arrive. usually 6 to 8 weeks maximum.
You will be billed only for freight from the United States warehouse.

Cast Iron Pot Care
  • The potjies are Pre-Seasoned when you purchase them but it would be a good idea to do it again. The more you use a potjie the better it gets,
  • Rinse with boiling water before use
  • Cleaning the pot - Fill inside of the pot with warm soapy water and scour clean.
  • Rinse well and always dry the pot over a heat source to burn off any residual moisture.
  • Lightly grease with either olive or vegetable oil and leave a paper towel inside to absorb moisture.
Another helpful hint:
 When cooking over a wood flame, using any kind of pot or pan, spread a coat of dishwashing liquid over the bottom. I use Ivory. This will make it easier to wash off the soot from the fire after cooking.

Every year there is a Texas Potjie Festival held in Texas.
If you are near there when it is held it would be a worthwile stop.

Thank you all of you transplanted South Africans for the Potjie Pots. We have come to the conclusion that all SAs are friendly and outgoing, if not a bit on the krazy side. If you are looking for fellow SAs or anybody looking for Potjie Festivals check out SAUSA Forums
