A cast iron Petromax Skillet is a versatile and robust pan that allows you to easily prepare meat, fish, and vegetables. Whether you are a hobby chef or a professional, this pan is an absolute must-have in your kitchen equipment.
You can use the skillet directly over a campfire, on an Atago, Rocket Stove, or indoors on the stove. With a diameter of 35 cm and a weight of 4.4 kg, this is a spacious pan, ideal for cooking for larger groups.
Thanks to the flat interior, the Petromax Skillet is highly versatile, also for everyday dishes you would normally prepare in a frying pan.
A skillet with a flat bottom is easy to clean with a smooth Petromax scraper or Petromax scrub. This keeps the pan in top condition and preserves its natural non-stick coating.
This Skillet is equipped with two convenient handles, making it easy to move and use in the oven, on the stove, or in a kamado. Don’t forget to use good heat-resistant Petromax gloves, as cast iron becomes extremely hot during and after use.
Cast iron is a type of cast steel that absorbs and retains heat exceptionally well, and is resistant to extremely high temperatures. This makes cast iron more versatile than steel or wrought iron.
A closed cast iron pan can, for example, function as an oven for baking bread and is also perfectly suitable as a stew pot.
Cast iron products are known for their durability. They are 100% recyclable and, with proper care, can last a lifetime. That’s why these pans are often passed down from generation to generation.
Although cast iron requires maintenance, this is easy to do. Follow these steps to keep your pan in top condition:
All cast iron products from Petromax are pre-seasoned several times (also known as “seasoning”). This provides a natural non-stick coating and protects the pan against rust.
If rust does occur, this is not a problem. Scrub the pan thoroughly with a wire brush, rinse it, and treat it again with Petromax care wax. This way, your skillet will remain in top condition for years to come!
