I can hear the birds chirping so sweetly !

@TheBraaiKitchen 6 дней назад

Haha yeah thanks. They do provide the perfect soundtrack.

@garethanthonyclark4879 Год назад

I like to cook with red wine and sometimes even add it to the food. Don't forget to add the dumplings at the end. Great video!

@TheBraaiKitchen 11 месяцев назад

Great idea!! It’s been a while since I did a potjie with dumplings.

I have never seen it Enamelled. Mine used to be copper plated and used as a coal skuttle by my grandpa in the 70s

@TheBraaiKitchen 8 месяцев назад

I think it’s a new thing. I have a few of the older non enameled as well, but I’ve never heard of a copper plated one. Thanks for sharing.

Guys you should have added a cornstarch slurry to that pot 10 minutes before dishing up, but otherwise, it looks great!

@TheBraaiKitchen 3 месяца назад

Hey thanks for the tip. Personally I’m not a fan of cornstarch in my potjie. Just personal preference I suppose.

@johnbubb9908 3 месяца назад

Ja Gents, I dont think you gonna like what I have to say, a potjie is not made in a oven, its made on coals the good old way, but it still looks good.

@TheBraaiKitchen 3 месяца назад

I hear you 💯and when I’m in the bush or camping that’s exactly how I do it. At home with my busy schedule I use the man oven as a shortcut. It still uses coals so technically I’m only half cheating. Thanks for watching. 🫡

@johnbubb9908 3 месяца назад

@@TheBraaiKitchen the main thing is that there is a flavorful pot of chow which everyone enjoys, we all have time management issues where we have to take a shortcut or two..

As a matter of interest. I inherited a number 5 pot made in Falkirk Scotland. It weighs 9kg. How much do the modern ones weigh. With the lid. The walls of mine seem much thinner. I now have it in England after leaving cape town. Still fantastic

@TheBraaiKitchen 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for getting in touch, I’ll have to weigh it when I get home.

For how long do you cook the shin to make it less tough?

@TheBraaiKitchen 3 месяца назад

I cooked it for around 4 to 5 hours. The higher the temperature the faster it will cook. I went low and slow.

@shaneburns4349 3 месяца назад

one small tip, use a mild steel blade and sharpen it often. you get a better edge.

@TheBraaiKitchen 3 месяца назад

Ha ha thanks for noticing my struggle there. All my knives are stainless steel. Where does one get a mild steel blade?

@shaneburns4349 3 месяца назад

I used to work in an abbartoirs. I got mine from my family. You sharpen it more often, but it has a keener edge., I think everyone goes stainless these days for germs etc. I grew up in remote Australia where germs did not exist. @@TheBraaiKitchen

@olgajacks 5 месяцев назад

Hi can I please ask where did you buy this colour of pot because i have been looking for coloured ones pls drop me a link in where I can buy it Thanks

@TheBraaiKitchen 3 месяца назад

You can get them from LK’s. Just search for LK’s enamel potjie.

@danjanuarie 7 месяцев назад

Great video. Some advice. Simmer the onions first. A tradition from my father. Don't forget the Red wine. The meat fell off the bone

@TheBraaiKitchen 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for your input. When you say “simmer”, do you mean I should gently fry the onions with the lid on?

@danjanuarie 7 месяцев назад

Yes until brown

@TheBraaiKitchen 7 месяцев назад

I usually do start them like that, but lately I’ve been short cutting the process and browning them along with the meat. I guess I’m getting lazy. 😁

@danjanuarie 7 месяцев назад

No problem. Old age maybe

@waniebabe57 Год назад

May l replace wine with some other liquid to maintain the taste

@TheBraaiKitchen Год назад

Yes you can indeed. Use a good stock or bone broth instead. Let me know how it turns out.

@BillSaltbush 2 года назад

Everything looked absolutely grand . . . until . . . Right at the end, you ladled out the potjie with a metal spoon - scraping and clanging on the enamelled inside and rim of the pot. It's unlike me, but I flinched. Had it been mine, I would have given you a rather stern look. Nay, I would have taken you to ground with my best Schalk Burger tackle . . . maybe even an eye gouging to boot - such is the sin. Good work, just the same and greetings from Oz. 🇦🇺

@TheBraaiKitchen 2 года назад

Yeah sorry about that, so used the indestructible non enamel ones. 😁 Didn’t even realize. I checked on the potjie and luckily no damage. Next time I will use the old faithful wooden gentle persuader. 😉 Thanks for the feedback from down under. 🇦🇺🦘

@Channel-Youtuber2023 Год назад

GREAT, but please tell me: How can you keep that coal burning over hours? Doesnt it burn down fast?

@TheBraaiKitchen Год назад

Hi there, great question! No, the coals do not burn down fast. The Kamado is super efficient, thanks to the ceramic construction it retains its heat for a very long time. Additionally, I closed both vents to a minimum airflow, so the coals burn down slowly.

@allenhendry5695 Год назад

A Kamado Joe will hold heat for 12 hours easily! This is a great idea to do a potjie with a KJ!

@TheBraaiKitchen 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Allen, and yes the KJ is perfect for potjies. I always struggled with temperature control, and the KJ makes it so easy.

@MercyMinister 2 года назад

I made a potjie today and it was excellent. You are correct, water has no flavor. You're better off using a stock or broth.

@TheBraaiKitchen 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear it tasted excellent. I’m curious what vegetables did you use?

@MercyMinister 2 года назад

@@TheBraaiKitchen, I kept it simple... onions, shallots, leeks, carrots, celery, red bell pepper. baby corn, and marrow

@TheBraaiKitchen 2 года назад

That sounds incredibly tasty. The force is strong with you. 🤣🤙👌

@dudleylandsberg1747 5 месяцев назад

I know you don't stir it but then why chuck all the spices into one heap right in the middle instead of spreading.

@TheBraaiKitchen 5 месяцев назад

I wanted to see who was watching closely, 😁 just kidding. I actually don’t have an answer for you as to why. Although I do believe the convection currents would have distributed the spices throughout. Thanks for watching.

Obviously haven't had a traditional potjie, when made correctly all the ingredients still have their unique flavour as opposed to stew where everything tastes the same!

Where does one get black garlic?

We get it from Woolies, not sure what other stores have it. Let me know when you find it what you think of the taste. Happy hunting.Thanks for watching.

@ThePhilphast 7 месяцев назад

You can make your own if you feel up to the effort. Buy a huge amount of garlic bulbs, fill a slow cooker to the top, and leave on the lowest heat for 24 hours (no liquid or anything else).

@TheBraaiKitchen 7 месяцев назад

Hi there, thanks for the black garlic recipe. I’m definitely going to try it.

@shaheendanger 7 месяцев назад

Hi I worked a year ago in a food testing lab and one of the analysts worked with black garlic. Loaded with flavour and pungent. However it was dry coarse spice.@@TheBraaiKitchen

@TheBraaiKitchen 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. I love the taste of black garlic, I can eat it raw out of the clove. 😋

Thanks for the input. Remember, with potjie ingredients there are no rules… I personally dislike Patty Pans 👎 but you’re welcome to gooi them in yours. 😃

@rodneymockson9807 11 месяцев назад

But why putting in the potatoes before the carrots, carrots cook longer than potatoes

@TheBraaiKitchen 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for asking Rodney. I like to give them a long time in the pot, so that they absorb the flavor of the liquid. I don’t know how to explain better, but for me they just hit better when cooked as long as the meat. At the same time a potjie is also about personal preference so feel free cook them less if you prefer. 👌😀

@wvdm3152 7 месяцев назад

You are not suppose to close the lid when browning the meat. Please guys don't mess around.

@TheBraaiKitchen 7 месяцев назад

The burning question is why?

@12hannah 3 месяца назад

Dan stoom dit ipv bruinbraai.

@bkj3845 3 месяца назад

Didn't know it was a rule!

@phathumanu-dm5tf 3 месяца назад

Closing there lid will create moisture and the meat won't brown well.

@TheBraaiKitchen 3 месяца назад

It depends on how hot the fire is. If it’s very hot, keeping the lid doesn’t prevent browning. I like to keep the lid on, so that if I walk away for too long it doesn’t burn. The moisture helps prevent burning.

@fionacassidy9746 7 месяцев назад

Sorry what is it you are cooking

@TheBraaiKitchen 7 месяцев назад

Hi Fiona, it’s a South African favorite called Potjiekos. The main thing is using a cast iron pot and cooking over hot coals. It can be made with chicken, beef, venison or seafood. Recipes vary according to family traditions and preferences. Hopefully you have an idea now. 😁✌️

@bkj3845 3 месяца назад

You will get a lot of criticism from the wanna be chefs that watched the video, everyone makes a potjie different and according to their taste, if you do not have anything good to say don't watch the video and go make your potjie like you like it!
