The Valhal Outdoor VH2L is three pieces of cast iron in one. Together, the two halves make a 2 litre oval Dutch oven for small loaves of bread, cakes and potjie-style sides. Separate them and you have two oval skillets – one flat, one with a grill pattern – so you can grill a fish on one while a potato bake goes on the other. Built for the braai, the oven and the stove.

Why it earns its place

• 4.1kg cast iron – even heat and serious heat retention on any fire

About Valhal Outdoor

Valhal Outdoor started in 2014 in Denmark, the land of the Vikings, and has been based in the Netherlands since 2018. Every piece is designed in the Netherlands and cast in China (Asia) in Valhal's own moulds, to its own iron formula and weight specifications. The Viking head cast into the base is the brand's mark. dreemFIRE curates Valhal Outdoor in South Africa because it is honest, heavy-duty cast iron that earns its place on the fire.

Care

Pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready to use. Heat it up well before the first cook. After cooking, clean with hot water and a brush or chain-mail scrubber, dry it completely over low heat and wipe on a thin layer of cooking oil. Not dishwasher safe. Avoid plunging hot cast iron into cold water. The natural non-stick layer builds up with every cook, so the more you use it, the better it gets. Look after it and it will last a lifetime.
