Are they maybe cooking something Creole with tomatoes in it? I know you wouldn’t want to stew tomato in a black iron pot.
people cook tomato-y sauce piquantes in that all the time. if it's well seasoned, it's ok.
also i think coon is referring to a kettle style pot. in comparison to a flat bottom

Please note: what I mean by “jambalaya pot” is a kettle, not a flat bottom dutch oven. I was emailed by someone saying there may be come convusion.

If its very well seasoned you are ok or if its not cooked very long in it. I think over 2 hours cooked with tomato is when you really will start to get issues with it.

cook anything you want..
Gumbos great
Keep it well seasoned
I have cooked sauce piquant for hours in mine.
Just wash it good when you finish and re-season..
No big deal at all.

seems like a roux would require more attention with a kettle vs flat bottom but i thin otherwise it'd be ok. but ive never tried in a kettle.

how do you season a pot of this size?
Posted on 2/23/10 at 2:52 pm to Coon
you can buy them already seasoned. it takes a lot of work/time to do it yourself.

Well apparently the ones I’m looking at are both seasoned, so… JACKPOT!!!

you still should season it, i'd imagine.

Just rub down with oil or shortning and throw on your grill works for me.. You can throw it in a fire too or put in your oven at 250 (If you do this I hope you have great ventilation)

just my opinion, and I have said this before.
Seasoning a cast iron pot is not a one time thing.
Its a never ending adventure..
Everytime I use mine, after washing good and drying well over heat I rub a lite coat of oil and reheat the pot good (this opens the pours) and let it cool down slowly.
I do this with my little iron skillet up to my 15 gallon pot.

I think they have a place in St. Amant
Coon you might want to check out Vernon's hardware on Florida Blvd.
The prices arn't the best, but they often put one item on sale at an incredible price.

When I was looking for a 5 gallon I called the guy.. His hours were just really hard to swing by.. Sounded like he did it out of a shop at his house. He has great prices but shipping was just too much for me and would have preferred to pick up but his hours made that difficult.
Went to some of the places around BR tha hardware stores recommended and while they had great selections the prices were just too much.
I ended up getting a 5 gallon seasoned pot at one of the antique stores in Denham Springs. Pot was a great price at 110. The burner & stand was probably overpriced though at 110 as well but I didnt feel like going to another place.

Just went back and checked I paid 261 after taxes for the pot,fitted stand and burner.
I had to buy a regulator for it on top of that. They also had a deal that if you bought a pot and burner set they gave you a meat injector. I laughed thinking that they were going to give me a syringe but when I say meat injector its a MEAT INJECTOR.. havent figured out what to do with it yet but I figure I could use it to inject an entire cow. Its basically a 1 or 2 gallon garden sprayer with a needle on the end.

He was probably reading lips which explains the confusion.

I just bought an 8 gal setup from Shane at Krazy Kajun. It was worth driving out to his place.
