What is a potjie pot made of?

A potjie pot is a traditional South African cooking pot that is made of cast iron. Cast iron is a type of metal that is known for its durability and heat retention properties, making it ideal for cooking stews and other dishes over an open fire. Potjie pots are typically round in shape and have a lid that is tightly sealed to keep in heat and moisture. They come in a variety of sizes, from small pots that can serve a few people to large pots that can cook for a crowd. Potjie pots are often used for outdoor cooking, as they can be placed directly over a campfire or coals.
