Size 10 potjie pot (also called a bean pot or cauldron) and are the same style as the originals that were introduced by the Europeans into Africa.
This size is getting into a larger cooking cauldron size and is used for everything from cooking whole chickens to meat roasts.
Used on the beach for fish fries or clam bakes too.
Potjie Pots are newly manufactured and coated with a baked on vegetable oil to preserve the cast iron.  Seasoning these cooking pots in the old fashioned way with a good shortening or vegetable oil will blacken them naturally over time and with use and will also make the pot stronger and more elastic (yes, cast iron can become brittle), resulting in a more beautiful pot like cast iron from the old days. Seasoning instructions are included.
Used world-wide for cajun stews, jambalayas, paellas, sea foods, fish fries, beans, turkeys, roasts and anything you can cook over an outdoor fire. Excellent for cooking over open fires.  Potjie Pots come in many sizes from small herb pots to large sugar kettles and pre-seasoned with edible high quality vegetable oil which immediately starts the seasoning process. All of these pots have well-fitted lids with a lip for holding coals, a heavy duty bail/carrying handle, and are made from pure gray cast iron.
Their round shape distributes the heat evenly around the sides and maintains liquids at a low point to keep from burning, which makes them a great choice for slow cooking meals – even cornbread and desserts. Cast iron is also a common choice for searing or frying food. These pots have the ability to maintain their heat over an uneven heating surface, such as a campfire.
Quality Cast iron seems to be expensive but anyone who has used it knows the value,
how it will last for generations, is very heavy and almost indestructible.
Instructions for care and seasoning are included with each purchase.

What size potjie do I need?
Potjie pots and Potjie flats both use the same numbering/sizing systems but both have different capacities/volumes. Both are close but not the same.
By using this formula you will have an idea on the size best suited for your needs. If in doubt go up one size, it’s always better to have more than not enough
Using 10-14 ounces of meat per person.  You determine the amount of meat by multiplying the total number of guests (without Side Dishes) by 10/14 ounces of meat. This formula will help to ensure that all of your guests will have more than enough to eat, with or without Side Dishes
Examples:
If you are going to use a No.3 Potjie (6 persons), you multiply 6 x 10 ounce = ±3.75 pounds and round to 4 pounds of meat.
If you use a No.8 Potjie, for 15 persons, you multiply 15 x 10grams = approx. 9.375 pounds rounded to 9.5 pounds of meat.
