Product Description

The original Petromax Dutch Oven is ideally suited to cooking and baking in the open air or in the oven at home. Cast-iron pots have been around since the 18th century. Even back then the unique properties of cast iron were appreciated. With the Dutch oven, Petromax takes up this tradition and also provides the Dutch oven with a multitude of refined details.

Thanks to the amazing characteristics of cast iron and the special structure of the surface, heat is efficiently stored and distributed. The pre-treated surface (seasoned finish) makes a first seasoning unnecessary, and the sturdy Dutch oven can be used right away. In the open air, it is used on an open fire or with charcoal and briquettes. The raised edge of the lid makes it possible to place embers or charcoal also on the Dutch oven. The Dutch oven is thus heated from all sides and is even suitable for baking bread!

The Dutch oven can be safely lifted thanks to a sturdy handle, and a thermometer hole makes it possible for you to check the temperature without having to lift the lid. When you need to, lifting the hot lid is nice and easy thanks to the Petromax Lid Lifter. The lid of the FT12 does not have any legs, so it cannot also be used as a pan like other Dutch ovens. Beside all these ingenious details, the Dutch oven has a traditional Petromax design: The lid is decorated with the elegant dragon logo, which has always stood for excellent quality and top-of-the-range products. Soups, meat dishes, as well as stews, casseroles and even cakes, can be prepared outstandingly in the Dutch oven.

The Petromax Dutch Oven is available in several sizes, so that the right one can be chosen according to the recipe or the number of people you are cooking for. Other accessories are available, like the Transport and Storage Bag, the Care Conditioner and also cleaning utensils for cast iron. Moreover Petromax offer a Dutch Oven Trivet and Cast-iron Trivets (ft6 and up) that make it possible to cook and bake food without burning anything.

Before First Use:

Clean the Dutch Oven thoroughly with hot water before using it for the first time, and dry it well. Thanks to the pre-seasoned surface you can use your sturdy Petromax Dutch Oven immediately after rinsing it, without needing to season it first. The first few times you use it, do not cook any acidic food, for it can damage the patina (the protective layer of the Dutch Oven).
