I lived in South Africa back in the 1990’s. I experienced firsthand the incredible Potjiekos phenomenon. But I never asked how it was done. I was always invited to friends homes to partake for dinner. After watching your video, I’m inspired to buy a cast iron kettle and try it here in the USA. Once perfected I will invite family and friends to come over and have fellowship around the Potjie. Thanks for the thorough instructions!

I'm glad you have been inspired. Good luck finding a pot, I'm certain there must be a few traditional SA pots available, but failing that a Dutch Oven will work almost as well. Good luck!

Brilliant, I make mine very similar. I don’t use sugar but I do add 2 tablespoons of red current jelly also garlic and Rosemary. Thanks for making this. I’m wiping out the potjie this weekend because of this video

I've had my potjie for 34 years, starting in my Greyton W cape holiday house, moving to New Zealand, where I have to use gas. Heretic! Anyway the base of the potjie is smooth as, as Kiwis say. The smell brings back great memories of fires and friends.

A potjie is NOT meant to be stirred! That may be a great stew, but its NOT a potjie! Sure you can stir the meat when you braise it but once that is done, you layer it being careful NOT to stir! Believe me, the result will be much better! 40 minutes to 1 hour???? Again, a potjie takes about 4-5 hours to cook as the longer you cook it the more tender the meat! Your explanation of the lines and the cleaning of the pot is spot on sir!

As a matter interest how much does the no 5 poitjie weigh. I inherited one from the 50s. It was made by Falkirk in Scotland. The walls seem thinner than the modern ones. Mine weighs 9 kg with the lid My grandfather had it copper plated and used it for a coal skuttle. I brought it with me to the uk where I still use it

@wowKitch 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for taking the time to do a complete walk through of making this lovely dish and share it! Much appreciated. And a quick question if I may. The potjie has this round belly shape, as opposed to a dutch oven. Does make a difference or can potjie recipes also be used for cooking in a dutch oven? I realize this might be sacrilege but dutch ovens are much easier to obtain in The Netherlands ;-)

@chrisdoesstuffza 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! You can absolutely use this receipe in a Dutch oven, however you may just need a little extra liquid. The reason for the potjies shape is that it's primary purpose is to be used outside over hot coals, hence the legs. The round bottom allows the liquid to gather at the bottom and then boil or steam back up through the ingredients, and then drip back down again. Because of this you need very little liquid. Just use your intuition, you don't want to boil the food, but you also don't want the bottom to be dry and burn. In SA we often use a Dutch oven along side a potjie to bake bread, where you also put hot coals on top of the lid. Just remember, if you are buying a new one, you must make sure to prepare and season the pot properly, and after cooking its very important to clean and store the pot correctly.

Wow...I'll be trying:)...........those bars covering widows mate??? hope you guys have good fire exit strategy..........and hate to be pedantic....but decking looks like its been laid ridges up which is not really good!!!!......traps dirt and moisture.....just saying:) thanks for content of your video!!

@chrisdoesstuffza 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the concern, we do indeed have an exit plan. Also, the deck is laid correctly. The ridges are both aesthetic as well as add grip. Dirt is no issue if you clean regularly and moisture is no issue as the timber is treated for outdoor installation and its regularly oiled which adds to the longevity.
