The Petromax trivet made of solid cast iron ensures first-class heat distribution. Exactly what you need for baking in a Dutch Oven. With this trivet/grill rack, you can perfectly braise, simmer, and bake in a Dutch Oven of FT4.5, FT6, FT9, and FT12 without anything burning. Especially when grilling in a Dutch Oven, this trivet is ideal for creating a beautiful grill pattern on your food.
You can use the Petromax trivet straight away since Petromax products are pre-seasoned. The convenient thing about this cast iron trivet is that you can also use it separately as a grill rack; place it directly in the fire and grill your meat, fish, or vegetables with the classic grill pattern from the trivet. While it’s on the fire, you can also easily place other Petromax items on it, such as a percolator or Dutch Oven.
The cast iron trivet has a diameter of 23 cm. Keep this in mind if you want to use it with other products. Petromax also offers a 30 cm trivet and a 23 cm rack without legs.
About Cast Iron.
Cast iron is a type of cast steel that absorbs and retains heat well and is resistant to very high temperatures. This makes cast iron suitable for many more purposes than steel or wrought iron. For example, a closed cast iron pan can be used as an oven for baking bread, but it is also perfectly suited as a stew pot.
Cast iron products have been known for years as durable products because they are 100% recyclable and last a lifetime if cared for properly. Traditionally, cast iron products are passed down from generation to generation. Cast iron requires proper maintenance, but this is less effort than you might think. After use, clean your cast iron product thoroughly with warm water and a dish brush. Dry it well with a tea towel and store it neatly.
All Petromax cast iron products are pre-treated several times, also known as “seasoning.” This creates a kind of natural non-stick layer and in many cases prevents rust. If your product does rust at some point, no problem—scrub it well with a wire brush, rinse it off, and re-treat it yourself with Petromax care wax.
