HERITAGE POTS & MAIN MEALS
The potjie pot originated from the Netherlands, descending from the Dutch oven brought to South Africa by settlers in the 17th century. The three-legged, cast-iron pot became a quintessential part of South African culture and, in particular, the tradition of potjiekos (small-pot food).
The potjie pot is a shared South African cultural staple used for slow-cooking stews (Potjiekos) over hot coals. The method is low and slow - coals rather than flames. No stirring, the pot is generally not stirred until served.
