How do I choose the right cast iron cauldron for camping season?
Summer is coming soon, and some products are worth having!
A hunting cauldron, i.e. a cast iron pot, is an attraction and an ideal solution for people who like camping. It can be a perfect complement to culinary attractions at a garden party by the hearth or grill. It can also be used on an open fire or in the hearth of a home fireplace. When choosing, the rule of thumb is 1 liter of food per person, because the food evaporates through long cooking and reduces its volume. You can prepare aromatic soups, stews, ribs, pork neck for many people. Cast iron pots retain heat for a long time. The hunting cauldron is tightly closed, thanks to which the dishes are cooked in their own juices at increased pressure, obtaining an effect reminiscent of cooking in a pressure cooker.
Kinghoff cast iron kettles, e.g. KH-2231 (4 liters), KH-2232 (7 liters) or KH-2233 (10 liters)
they are a simpler solution at an affordable price. They are entirely made of cast iron, i.e. a high-carbon alloy of iron and carbon. This material is extremely durable and has been known for over a thousand years. Properly maintained, it can serve for decades. Maintenance is extremely important, but at the same time simple. To prevent rusting after use, please wash it by hand in water and dry it. After noticing the dullness of the color, it is enough to lubricate the surface with edible oil after washing and burn it in the fire. This should also be done before first use.
In a situation where a rusty coating appears, it is enough to remove traces of corrosion with a wire brush, grease it and burn it in the fire. Cast iron does not like thermal shocks, i.e. sudden changes in temperature. In the case of a hot pot, it should not be poured with cold water, as it may burst.
In the Kinghoff brand offer you will find, for example, Enamelled cast iron cooking pots KH-2241 (capacity 4 liters), KH-2242 (capacity 7 liters) and KH-2243 (capacity 10 liters)
They are coated inside with an enamel coating, which is easy to clean and conducts heat well. The maintenance of such a dish is easier due to the enamel coating, which does not emit harmful substances and does not react with food. It does not change the taste or aroma of the dish, even with acidic ingredients. Be careful not to damage the enamel coating by impact. It is worth remembering not to use strong, corrosive detergents, brushes, knives or other sharp tools when washing. To clean, just soak the pot in warm water and then wash it by hand with a cloth with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. It is worth using natural remedies such as: baking soda, citric acid or vinegar. And in field conditions, water and sand are enough for a bivouac.
