Hardware Hankering: Potjiekos


Sometimes we run into kitchen items that we simply have to have. Currently we are consumed by lust for the South African potjie pots (pronounced "poi-kei"). In addition to being eye-catching objects, they have a fascinating history and superior design. Set on three legs, these pots can hang or be placed directly in coals. Whatever the heat source, they are shaped in such a way as to maximize energy efficiency from that source. Versatile, survivalist cookware if there ever was any!
