Petromax Poffertjes Pan – for Cast Iron Cooking, Embers and Campfire Dishes

When the fire has slowly burned down in the morning and the first rays of sun shine through the trees, the best part of the day begins in many camps: breakfast at the fire. With the Petromax Poffertjes Pan, you prepare small mini pancakes in Dutch tradition directly over the embers or on the grill.

The massive cast iron pan has 30 small indentations where the Poffertjes are baked evenly. Thanks to the excellent heat conductivity of cast iron, the heat distributes evenly across the entire pan – a crucial advantage when baking over an open fire.

With a diameter of about 30 cm, the pan fits perfectly on the Petromax Atago Grill. Thanks to the two side handles, it can be lifted and positioned safely. At the same time, the Poffertjes pan also works effortlessly on all common stove types in the home kitchen.

Why this product?

Cast iron is so strong outdoors because it stores heat and releases it evenly. This makes the process smoother – especially with embers, briquettes, or changing fire intensity.

more even heat than thin sheet metal parts
better control when baking, frying, or braising
patina improves with every use

Practical tip: Cast iron needs preheating
Give cast iron time. Preheat first, then add oil or ingredients. This reduces sticking, distributes heat better, and the patina strengthens with every use.

Our assessment (practical added value)

Poffertjes are among the most popular outdoor desserts because they are quick to prepare and easy to share. Especially when camping or bushcraft cooking, they create small portions that can be served directly from the pan.

Thanks to the massive cast iron, the temperature remains constant, allowing the mini pancakes to brown evenly. At the same time, the indentation shape ensures the Poffertjes keep their typical round form.

Many outdoor cooks also use the pan for other dishes like small egg portions, mini omelets, or dessert variations with fruit.

Tips from outdoor practice

Preheat the pan

Warm the pan briefly over the embers before pouring in the batter. This ensures the Poffertjes brown evenly.

Lightly grease the indentations

A little butter or oil prevents the batter from sticking and also adds better flavor.

Turn with a wooden skewer

A small wooden skewer or toothpick is ideal for turning the Poffertjes.

Pe
rfekt for dessert by the campfire

With a bit of powdered sugar, honey, or berries, the mini pancakes become a popular dessert while camping.
