The humble Dutch Pot is loved the world over and has been used in cooking for centuries! Affectionately known as a ‘Dutchie’, its legend was elevated to new heights by the 1982 song ' Pass the Dutchie' by British Jamaican reggae band, Musical Youth.
Cast from aluminium in a traditional style, our round-bottom Dutch Pots come in 6 sizes, from small (20cm) to super king (40cm), and are equipped with heavy-duty lids.
Whether on the stove, over coals or in the oven, the Dutch Pot can be used to cook almost anything – stews, roasts, lasagna, cakes, brisket, bread, curries… the possibilities are endless!
After use, Dutch Pots are typically cleaned with boiling water and a brush (no soap). Once dry, they should then be given a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rusting. Mustard oil provides a high-temperature resistance, but vegetable oil is also commonly used. Dutch Pots should be stored in a clean, dry location with the lid ajar or off to promote air circulation. If stored with the lid on, a paper towel should be placed inside to absorb any moisture.
So happy to finally buy a flat bottom Dutch pot as the round one does not work well with my cooker. This flat bottom Dutch pot is the perfect addition to my pot collection and the size is just what I needed to cook up a storm in my kitchen.
