Take your outdoor cooking to the next level with this 7-piece pre-seasoned cast iron camping cookware set. Designed for open-fire cooking, campfire grilling, and outdoor adventures. Pre-seasoned and ready to use straight from the box improves with every cook. Ideal for campers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts looking for durable, versatile cookware that works on open flames, grills, and campfires.
What is included in the 7-Piece Cast Iron Camping Set?
The set includes: 25 cm 4.5 QT Dutch oven potjie pot, 18 cm 2.3 QT saucepan, 30 cm frying pan, 51 × 24 cm reversible rectangular griddle (flat one side, ribbed the other), a cast iron lid lifter tool, a cast iron trivet, and a sturdy wooden storage box for transport and storage. Seven cast iron pieces in a single transport-ready set.
Is the set pre-seasoned?
Yes every piece is pre-seasoned and ready to cook with straight from the box. Wash with hot water before first use to remove any factory residue, dry over heat, and you're ready to cook. The seasoning improves with every use.
Who is this set ideal for?
Campers, 4x4 trippers, hikers with vehicle support, hunters, braai enthusiasts who entertain outdoors, and anyone running an open-fire kitchen at a remote site. Also useful as a complete starter kit for someone moving into traditional South African outdoor cooking (potjiekos, braai, open-fire pap).
How do I clean the cast iron pieces after a camping trip?
Wipe out food with a paper towel or wooden scraper while still warm. If needed, rinse with hot water no soap and a stiff brush. Dry over heat (over the fire or on a stove) immediately to prevent rust. Rub a thin layer of cooking oil on all surfaces, then return to the wooden box for storage. Never put cast iron pieces away wet.
Can I use these on a normal kitchen stove?
Yes. The Dutch oven, saucepan, frying pan, and griddle all work on gas, electric coil, ceramic glass top (use heat diffuser), induction, and in the oven. The trivet and lid lifter are accessories for outdoor use.
My cast iron piece has developed rust. Can I save it?
Yes. Cast iron rust is reversible. Scrub with steel wool or coarse salt + a little vegetable oil until the rust is gone. Rinse with hot water, no soap. Dry over heat immediately. Re-season by rubbing oil on all surfaces and baking upside down in an oven at 200 °C for one hour.
Is this set South African manufactured?
The set is stocked by Big5 Cookware in Thaba Nchu, Free State. Big5 Cookware has been a South African cookware specialist since 1977.
