Cuisiland 8.5QT Cast Iron Potjie Cauldron Pot with Lid & 3 Legs – Pre-Seasoned South African-Style Campfire Pot for Outdoor Cooking, Soups, Stews & Braising – Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Dutch Oven

I received my pot in a beat-up box wrapped around with USPS "Received in damaged condition" tape. No packaging material left in the box and missing the pot's lid, but no obvious damage to the pot itself.I contacted the seller about the missing lid. They had one in the mail the next day. It took about a week to receive the lid which arrived in good shape and in time for me to gift this pot to my braai-loving South African friends who had to leave their pot behind when they moved to the US.

Pre seasoned pot is great

We like to cook witheseb

Good quality, heats nice and evenly, easy to clean and maintain.

Arrived quickly. This Potjie will require some work before it makes kos. The seasoning, is it is seasoning and not some industrial oil, needs to be removed and the whole thing needs a good proper seasoning. Also, the bottom of the Potjie is rough cast, this may seem like cosmetic work but those open rough pores will need extra care for the potjie not to corrode from the bottom.If you know how to maintain cast iron then this is worth your while.

The media could not be loaded. Perfect for goblin festivities! Made good soup from the ingredients we pillaged from the grocery store. Holds plenty of soup! Tasty and plentiful make goblin heart happy.🍄🥣😋

The internal finish resembled the surface of the moon and would have been a beast to clean properly if I had not spent the time and trouble to smooth it using power tools.Then the poor fit of the lid due to the poor finish of the pot. As delivered the lid rocked more than a 1/8” and this would not retain sufficient moisture during cooking. As with the internal finish I spent time and effort to finish and level the pot properly. The final step was to do a proper seasoning as this is crucial for tasty meals.Unless you are able to do these things or have someone who can do this for you then don’t buy this as you will have a poor experience.

I hate the metal taste. Followed the steps for curing and did it 3 times. Finally gave up.
