Ahhh .. thanks for your nice comments about my blog ! Potjiekos has a lid & for some slow cooked recipes (lower heat) you actually seal the lid closed with a flour paste mixture and only open it at the end of the cooking process. I’m fascinated to learn more about Dutch ovens as I’d not really heard of them before ?
I’ll be emailing your shortly !

Your quite welcome! I hope everyone gets a chance to see your blog. You life is very fascinating to us city folks.

Potjiekos, does this have a lid or is it just an open pot? I would love to have you write a guest post about this type of cooking. If you are interested just email me and we can set it up.

Thanks again,

Gary

Your site is great, I love the concept of Dutch Ovens. In Africa we have cast iron 3 legged pots which we use to cook food in over open fires. I wonder if these are similar ?

In South Africa the food cooked in these is called “Potjiekos” which literally means “Pot Food”. We cook meat, vegetables/stews in the pots and even bake bread etc in them. Anything that one cooks in a “potjie” tastes delicious and much better than the same dish cooked in a casserole dish in the oven !
