The Cast Iron Petromax Skillet is a versatile and robust pan that allows you to effortlessly prepare meat, fish, and vegetables. Whether you are a hobby cook or a professional chef, this pan is an indispensable addition to your cookware.
You can use the skillet directly over a campfire, on an Atago, Rocket Stove, or simply on the stove. With a diameter of 40 cm and a weight of 5.5 kg, this pan is one of the largest skillets in the Petromax range. This makes it perfect for preparing meals for larger groups.
Thanks to the flat interior, the Petromax Skillet is suitable for a wide variety of dishes. Even for everyday meals you would normally prepare in a frying pan, this pan is an excellent choice.
A skillet with a flat bottom is easy to clean. Use a smooth Petromax scraper or Petromax scrub to remove food residues without affecting the natural non-stick coating.
This Skillet is equipped with two sturdy handles, allowing you to easily place it in the oven, on the stove, or in a kamado. Note: cast iron pans become extremely hot during and after use. Always use good heat-resistant Petromax gloves for safe and comfortable handling.
Cast iron is a type of cast steel that absorbs and retains heat exceptionally well and is resistant to extremely high temperatures. This makes it 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 maintenance, can last a lifetime. For this reason, they are often passed down from generation to generation.
Cast iron requires maintenance, but this is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps to keep your pan in top condition:
All cast iron products from Petromax are pre-treated several times (also known as “seasoning”). This provides a natural non-stick coating and helps prevent rust.
If rust does occur, it is not a problem. Scrub the rust spot with a wire brush, rinse the pan, and treat it again with Petromax care wax.
With this care, your Petromax Skillet 40 cm will remain in top condition for years and you can enjoy it time and again!
