How to choose cast iron cookware
Three things matter: vessel shape, capacity and compatibility. In a closed dutch oven, you can prepare soups, stews, goulash or roasts. On an open griddle, pan or platter, you can sear steaks, vegetables and breakfast. El Fuego dutch ovens list the combined capacity of the pot and lid in their name: the smallest is 3.5 l and 1.0 l, the largest 11.4 l and 2.2 l. Weber Crafted and Gourmet BBQ System require a corresponding grate or frame. The ModiFIRE platter can be installed without removing the grate. A different material is offered by stainless steel cookware.
Which version to choose
- El Fuego dutch ovens feature a lid with three legs. When turned over, it serves as a grilling pan. The package includes a handle and a lid lifter. The four sizes weigh from 5.5 to 12.4 kg.
- The five-piece cast iron cookware set adds a pot, pan, base and lid lifter to the dutch oven. The pan has a diameter of 30.5 cm, the pot 18.7 cm.
- El Fuego griddles and pans have a ribbed surface for grill marks and fat drainage. The round griddle measures 34 x 40.5 cm, the oblong one 50.4 x 23.3 cm and the pan 44 x 25.5 cm.
- Weber cast iron inserts expand the grate with a 5.7 l wok, a plancha, a pan, a folding grate with plancha or a Sear Grate. A cast iron press pushes bacon, panini and burgers against the plancha. The Weber 2-in-1 pot with a 6.7 l capacity has a lid that, when turned over, serves as a pan.
- The double-sided Traeger ModiFIRE platter has a smooth and a ribbed side and fat drainage. The second platter, 29.2 x 29.2 cm, is for the Traeger induction hob.
Drip trays and disposable liners can be found in grill trays and liners.
Maintenance and Accessories
Season your El Fuego cast iron before first use. Coat it with a thin layer of oil and heat it up. This creates a layer that improves non-stick properties and protects it from corrosion. Wash it without using aggressive agents and repeat the seasoning process as needed. Weber and Traeger cast iron typically has a porcelain-enamelled surface. The 39 x 39 cm gas burner heats pots with a diameter from 20 to 50 cm. For open fire in the garden, garden fire pits are the ideal solution. For handling hot cast iron, BBQ tools are suitable.
