A cast iron Petromax Skillet is a convenient and multifunctional pan for frying meat, fish, and vegetables. Whether you are a hobby chef or a professional, this pan is an essential addition to your kitchen equipment. You can use it directly over a campfire, on an Atago, Rocket Stove, or simply indoors on the stove.
This Skillet has a diameter of 35 centimeters and a weight of 4.4 kg, making it ideal for preparing meals for larger groups. Thanks to the flat interior, it is highly versatile, also suitable for everyday dishes you would normally prepare in a frying pan.
The Petromax Skillet is equipped with one handle and one long handle. The longer handle offers a great advantage when using the pan as a frying pan, as it allows you to fry food easily and quickly. The handle also makes it easier to flip products, just as you would with a traditional frying pan.
For use over an open fire, a skillet with a handle is especially convenient. You can slide a Petromax Armide handle cover over the handle, so you don’t need to wear gloves and can still work safely and comfortably with the pan.
Cleaning a skillet with a flat bottom is simple. Use a smooth Petromax scraper or Petromax scrub to thoroughly clean the pan without damaging the natural non-stick coating.
Cast iron is a type of cast steel that absorbs and retains heat well and is resistant to extremely high temperatures. As a result, cast iron is more versatile than steel or wrought iron and can be used for a wide range of cooking techniques.
A closed cast iron pan, for example, functions as an oven for baking bread and is also perfectly suitable as a stew pot. Cast iron products have been popular for centuries due to their durability: they are 100% recyclable and last a lifetime if properly maintained. Many cast iron products are even passed down from generation to generation.
Although cast iron requires specific maintenance, it is easier than you might think. After use, clean the pan with warm water and a dish brush. Then dry it thoroughly with a tea towel and store it properly.
All cast iron products from Petromax are pre-seasoned several times. This creates a natural non-stick coating and protects against rust. If rust does occur, you can easily remedy this:
With the right maintenance, your Petromax Skillet will remain in top condition and you can enjoy it for many years to come!
