Durable enamel-on-steel fry pan for outdoor cooking, camping, braai, and budget kitchen use. 24 cm diameter. Classic New World enamelware durability heat resistant, easy to clean, chip-resistant.
Is this enamel frypan good for camping?
Yes. The enamel-on-steel construction is the traditional South African outdoor cooking material. Light enough to carry, durable enough for direct open-fire use, easy to clean even without running water. The 24 cm size fits most braai grids and camping stoves.
Can I use it on a braai or open fire?
Yes. Enamel-on-steel handles direct open-fire heat without warping (unlike non-stick coatings, which would burn off, or thin aluminium, which would buckle). For long sessions, use a heat distribution plate on a high-heat fire to prevent burning the food onto the enamel.
Is the enamel coating safe?
Yes. Vitreous (glass) enamel coatings are food-safe, non-reactive, and have been used on cookware since the 1800s. The double-coated enamel resists chipping. Small chips can occur if dropped on a hard surface these are cosmetic and do not affect function.
Is the frypan oven safe?
Yes oven safe up to 200 °C. Avoid sudden temperature changes (cold pan into hot oven, or vice versa) to prevent thermal shock cracking the enamel.
How do I clean the enamel frypan?
Wipe out with paper towel after use. Wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Dishwasher safe. For burnt-on food, soak with hot water for 10 minutes, then wipe clean the glass enamel surface releases food easily.
