Petromax is one of the most well-known camping gear suppliers. Founded in Germany in 1866, Petromax has since become a trustworthy brand that creates skilfully designed gear for adventurous outdoor types who love living and cooking al fresco.
Petromax is the leading manufacturer of durable, high-quality equipment and its range of products is more than impressive. Luckily for you, Preppers Shop has an eye for quality products and we stock a huge selection of Petromax cooking supplies.
We stock a range of brilliant outdoor camping equipment, including fantastic Petromax products, which allow you to make culinary masterpieces in the wild. From cast iron skillets to hot drink percolators, Petromax has everything you could possibly need to host a dinner party in the woods.
When we think of camping food, we might think of an easy meal deal from the shop or a load of cold snacks that leave you missing the warmth of a home-cooked meal. Or maybe you’re already an outdoor culinary genius who slays a camp stew. Well, you can explore your culinary talents so much more and enjoy a home-cooked meal if you’re equipped with the right Petromax gear.
Whether you’re an avid camper, a cooking fanatic or a survivalist, Petromax is bound to have something that you want.
What Do They Do?
Absolutely everything! They specialise in outdoor cooking equipment that is built to last and built to survive the rigours of outdoor living. Cast iron cooking equipment is what they do best, stocking a huge selection and a range of sizes of cast iron fire skillets and Dutch ovens and pots, wrought iron pans, fire grills, sandwich irons and so much more.
As well as their cast iron masterpieces, they also make various hot drink percolators for the finest morning coffee on the side of a mountain, in addition to 25L cool boxes, prongs, tongs and spatulas – and a very impressive Dutch oven cooking tripod.
You might be a “beans out the tin” camper or you might enjoy the challenge of foraging and cooking your own dinner just as nature intended. No matter what kind of camper you are, the Petromax collection is bound to drive your inner gritty gourmet and encourage you to get creative in nature’s kitchen.
What Can I Make with Petromax?
Because they have such a wide selection of high-quality products, you can really let your imagination fly and create some impressive meals for yourself and your friends. You can keep it simple with ham and cheese toasties, courtesy of the sandwich iron, get grilling some burgers with the cast iron barbeque grill, or even make banging spuds in the potato cooker. You could also choose to utilise the full capacity of your Dutch oven and create some brilliant stews or soups.
Dutch ovens are designed to retain heat, which makes them ideal for slow-cooking vegetables or rustling up a juicy roast – which you can keep warm for hours thanks to their durable, cast-iron exterior. However, they can be used for far more than your staple stews and Sunday dinners. You can also use a Dutch oven to make things like apple pies, pizzas and lasagnes, if you’re creative enough. Some people have even been known to bake the perfect loaf of bread in theirs. Discover some of our favourite Dutch oven recipes here.
The chefs among you might enjoy cooking with this one-pot wonder so much that you decide to start experimenting with the Petromax Dutch oven at home, too. They’re the perfect alternative to a traditional slow cooker and are definitely built to last.
Dutch ovens are designed to be simple to use and require next to no additional equipment. However, it’s important to remember the basic essentials, such as a knife for chopping vegetables and some cutlery and camping plates if you want your outdoor dining experience to be more like home from home. We stock a huge range of camping cooking essentials and are always happy to give advice on the best products for you.
