What you need to know

Solid cast iron. High heat. Full flavor. The Petromax Fire Skillet provides you with uncompromising roasting results - on the stove, grill or directly in the fire.

Description

The Petromax fire pan made of high-quality cast iron is indispensable for your meals over an open fire and in the kitchen at home. Because cast iron pans are extremely durable, they are also used by professional chefs. Once you've tried it, you won't want to do without the fire pan and its many advantages.

The best material: cast iron
The high-quality cast iron with its excellent heat distribution is ready to use and easy to clean thanks to the pre-treated surface (seasoned finish). The durable and robust pan has a natural non-stick effect, which improves with every frying process as a patina forms. Cast iron is also a good heat accumulator, so you can serve your dishes directly in the pan.

On all hobs
You can use the fire pan not only on an electric or induction hob, over a gas flame or in the oven, but also outdoors on a hob, on a campfire or on a suitable grill. Braise, sear or roast - every dish becomes a delight in the fire skillet.

Available in six sizes
The fire skillet has a pan handle with an opposite handle so that you can carry it safely and also hang it up. Whether home cooking or haute cuisine, delicious fried potatoes or the perfect steak: The two different versions of the Petromax Fire Skillet - with two handles or as a classic frying pan with style - are available in six sizes and are suitable for dishes and portions of any size.

Solid cast iron - built to last

The Petromax fire pan is not a one-off purchase. Made of solid cast iron, it withstands extreme temperatures, retains its shape and improves rather than deteriorates over time. Whether on the stove or over an open fire - it is the pan you will use for a lifetime

Even heat. Perfect result.

Cast iron heats up evenly and stores the heat where it is needed: on the entire frying surface. The result? Intense roasting aromas, even browning and a result that is not left to chance.

No Teflon. No compromise.

Instead of a non-stick coating from a tube, the fire pan develops its own - and it gets better with every use. The natural patina makes the surface increasingly smooth over time. The more often you cook, the easier everything becomes.

Frequently asked questions

Does the pan contain PFA?

Our pans contain no PFA and do not require any artificial coating. They get their non-stick effect naturally without PFA through the patina.

The self-forming patina without chemicals or artificial coating ensures a non-stick effect that increases over time and is not affected by high temperatures. This means you can also use your cast iron or wrought iron pans over an open fire or in the oven without any problems and your non-stick effect, which is harmless to health, is retained.

Is the pan suitable for the oven?

Basically, you don't need to worry about wrought iron or cast iron pans. These are even designed for use over an open fire and can also be used in the oven without hesitation.

Can my cast iron pan go in the dishwasher?

Regardless of whether it has a coating or a natural non-stick effect, a dishwasher is too aggressive in its cleaning process and attacks the surface. In the case of cast and wrought iron, dishwasher treatment can also cause rust very quickly.

Therefore, you should only rinse your pan with clean water; if necessary, you can also use a standard dishwashing brush. For optimum cleaning without damaging the patina, use the ring cleaner for cast and wrought iron or the scraper for fire pans and skillets, which is also available for grill fire pans with grooves.

How long will the coating on my pan last?

The durability of the coating varies depending on the quality of the pan or the type of coating. A durable product saves a lot of frustration. You will know this if you have ever been annoyed by holding a dented pan in your hands or seeing scratches on the coating after only a short time.

The best coating is no coating: Cast iron or wrought iron pans have no coating, yet they have excellent non-stick properties. This is thanks to the valuable patina that develops over time after baking.

Cleaning with washing-up liquid can damage the patina. However, this does not make your pan unusable, as you can restore the patina by re-seasoning it. With good care, your cast-iron and wrought-iron pans and their natural non-stick effect will last a lifetime.

You can find out exactly what to do if your valuable patina is damaged in the instructions for use or in our blog guide.

Advisor

Why a cast iron pan without a coating - and not the next "hybrid" generation?

Coated pans have an expiry date. Classic PTFE has rightly fallen into disrepute, so the market is responding with "PFOA-free", ceramic coatings, hybrid constructions made of stainless steel honeycomb and non-stick recesses. All solutions have one thing in common: It remains a coating, and every coating ages. A real cast iron pan does not have this problem because it has no coating that could age. Its non-stick property is created by patina - burnt-on vegetable oil that becomes stronger with every frying process. In the first few weeks, you need to pay a little more attention to this than with a coated pan. After ten years, you will have a much more relaxed pan. Replacing the pan is particularly worthwhile if you don't want to buy new cookware every few years but want to pass it on to your children.

From Sunday roasts to campfire evenings: one pan, many occasions

Most pans are optimized for one heat source and are a compromise for the others - a coated pan for a fried egg in the morning, a stainless steel pan for a steak in the evening, maybe a grill pan for the summer. The Petromax Fire Skillet with Handle does things differently: It is built for the toughest conceivable heat source - direct campfire and uneven embers - and has become so robust that it is clearly superior on gas, electric, ceramic and induction. The handle, opposite handle and hanging hole are forged from a single piece with the pan body, without screws or gluing - nothing can loosen or break. It is precisely this design that makes it possible to use a single pan for the Sunday roast in the kitchen, the fried egg for breakfast, the garden barbecue with friends and the occasional campfire evening. Not three pans, one. This saves cupboard space, is easy on the budget and reduces wear and tear to material that you won't need to replace anyway.

The right pan size: how to avoid the most common regret when buying a pan

The most common regret when buying a pan is not "too big", but "too small". A cast iron frying pan is typically used for ten years or more - and in these ten years, who is sitting at the table, how many guests are coming, whether more family is coming, whether steak is made for three or pancakes for six. Petromax offers the Fire Skillet with Handle in the Original Line in five sizes from 20 to 40 cm - the widest range in a direct market comparison. For those who prefer something more compact and lighter, the Essential Line offers two additional versions (25 and 30 cm) with a side spout, which are specially optimized for the kitchen and barbecue. Rule of thumb for selection: Count the number of people you will be cooking with on average and add one. An FP25-T is the honest all-rounder for couples and small families and is also our bestseller. An FP30-T is the undisputed roast potato standard for families of four.

What the PFAS discussion means for your choice of pan

In recent years, the discussion about PFAS, PFOA and "Forever Chemicals" has created an awareness that families are increasingly taking with them when buying cookware. Many manufacturers are responding with new generations of coatings - ceramic hybrid, diamond dust enrichment, "PFOA-free". All these solutions are technically more advanced than classic Teflon, but they have one thing in common: it remains a coating, and every coating ages. Petromax goes the other way: we leave out the coating. A cast iron pan does not need chemicals to prevent it from sticking - it needs a burnt-in patina, regular care and a little patience at the beginning. The trade-off is worth it: a little more attention in the first few weeks, but a pan that will stay with you and that you can pass on to your children.
