Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi guys, I asked this on the community forum but did not get much of a response
Has anybody used one of those LK braai pans? The steel ones for the fire. Would it work as a skottle replacement?
What cooks well on it?
Thanks

Maybe if you can post a picture someone might be able to assist

Maybe a non-stick version would be a better option?

Warren wont the square one pack away better ?

Fact is, those non stick coatings dont last too long in any event.


in any event I will be following this one closely ..... at our last camp I ended up baking eggs one at a time in a tiny pot ......

Yea, im looking into an alternative for a skottle, as it takes up quite a bit of space and rattles like mad.
When i was up in Tanzania, a bush chef made pizza in one of these for lunch, needless to say i was impressed!
My thinking is i can use it on coals or gas as well.

My 2cw.....

The LK's pan is a normal steel pan. Care must be taken with these, as they will have to be cleaned PROPERLY after each use, and will also have to be oiled to prevent rust. The volcano pan is made from Stainless Steel, a life-long pan, even if the non-stick coating dissappears after a while.

See their website for more details:

They even offer a recoat service...!

Hi Warren, last year I got myself one of these from Makro

Lightweight, easy to clean, just make sure you clean it yourself!!!! Uses no butter / oil and when you are finished, wipe it out with a paper-cloth And walla, ready for breakkie tomorrow!

Will I buy another one? Absolutely !!!!


I have one of the steel jobs and must say, It's a MISSION to clean, heavy and if not treated properly collects rust....

Stainless is without doubt a far better option .... healthier, longer lasting, easier to clean ... you can put a scourer on it if something has burnt fast without having to worry about coatings etc. M2CW

Similar pan from Volcan for R399. I think it's a good deal...

Hi Warren
My first pan was a LK.In the beginning my eggs where silver :shifty: The pan has like a galvinising finish that came off Eventually I got that all removed and started treating the steel with oil/fat that i baked into it.Now it is not to bad.But cleaning is a mission.
Then on my birthday my mate gave me a Volcano and this is tops in my book.Care should be taken not to scratch the non stick surface.i had to replace my utensils with plastic ones.

Thanks guys, Volcano it is.
Had a look at the Cadac ones Mark, but think the heavy duty volcano may be better and packing, well cant be worse than a skottle with attachments

Will let you guys know how it goes.

Cheers

Also get the bag.it helps with scratching.

Warren I use one of those LK pans, a round one not a square one. It works fantasticly for brekkies, bacon, eggs, etc. we even toast our sarmies in it. Not really difficult to pack, definitely easier than a skottelskaar, and I made a special spot for it in our "kombuisboks". Had it for a couple of years now and no problems. We wash it immediately after the meal and it still looks great. We also use it either on the gas stove or on the open fire.

Have one of the round ones at home - got it as a Christmas prezzie from the in-laws a few years back. Not a sratch on it and it goes along when we camp!!!

so waar kan ons dit koop ? ..... aangesien julle nou aanhou krap waar dit nie eintlik gejuik het nie ..... :)

Chris jy koop hom by die Agrimark in Durbanville.... Saam met BAIE ander funky kampgoetertjies wat jy nie eers geweet het bestaan nie...

WYK satang .... :)

Moet nou spaar vir daai Namib trippie .... maar mens moet darem n pan hê om so ietsie warm te maak .....
