Cooking, roasting, baking
You can use the Saucepan on the stove or in the oven at home and outdoors on a stove, over an open
fire or in a suitable grill. The different heat sources such as barbecue briquettes, charcoal or the embers
of a campfire can have different temperatures. The Saucpan can also be used on all types of stoves.
At the campfire
There is a lot to try out when using the Saucepan over a campfire: Each type of wood creates different
embers and glows for a longer or shorter time. If you place the Saucepan directly next to the fire, you
can cook or braise some dishes with the radiating heat of the fire. However, it is essential to turn the
Saucepan regularly so that it is heated evenly from all sides.
With briquettes
High-quality barbecue briquettes are easy to use and reliable. They are usually similar in size and store
heat for a long time. This is the easiest way to regulate the heat.
How many briquettes you need above and below the Saucepan also depends on the cooking and
preparation method. As a rule of thumb for all Saucepan sizes:
• For cooking soup and stew: 1/3 of the briquettes on the lid and 2/3 underneath.
The following table gives you an idea on how many briquettes you need for which size of Sauce pan. In
the table you find the total number of briquettes and how you should distribute them on the cast-iron
lid or underneath the Saucepan to reach your desired temperature.

You can also calculate how many briquettes you need for baking. To do this, simply swap the specified
number of briquettes from the top and bottom. By the way: For braising and roasting, simply divide the
total number of briquettes by 2 and distribute them evenly on the lid and underneath the Saucepan.
We recommend using the Saucepan together with a Petromax Stack Grate to ensure better stability
on briquettes or over a campfire.
This information serves for general guidance only and may vary depending on the
type of briquettes used, ambient temperature and weather conditions. General rule:
It is better to start with fewer briquettes and add more if needed.
