Petromax FP17 Cast Iron Fire Skillet

When you’re cooking at camp without a conventional hob, this Petromax cast-iron skillet lets you prepare food over an open flame. Its seasoned surface is ready to use straight away, and the removable telescopic handle gives you control while keeping you at a distance from the fire. Adjust the handle length with the wing screw, or remove it completely when the skillet is resting on embers. Cast iron distributes heat for even cooking and retains warmth after serving. Clean it with water and a chain mail cleaner, then care for it regularly.
