Medieval Hand-Forged Hanging Pan ULFBERTH® – Authentic Steel Campfire Cookware
Versatility and Hand-Forged Craftsmanship
The product is hand-forged from steel, giving it a unique texture and high durability. The design with the high handle (approx. 12" / 30.5 cm) ensures that heat from the fire rises evenly to the food, while allowing you to safely handle the pan with a hook or glove. If you don't have a tripod available, don't worry – the pan is designed to sit stably on a forged pan trivet or flat stones amidst the hot embers. It is the ideal companion for anyone who prefers honest metal over modern non-stick coatings.

History and Field Kitchen Trivia
Hanging pans were indispensable equipment in the Middle Ages for mercenaries, pilgrims, and wandering merchants. Unlike heavy cast-iron cauldrons, these steel pans were lighter and more portable, allowing them to be easily transported on mules or strapped to a backpack. An interesting fact: in medieval military orders, a "rotte" (squad) of six men often formed a cooking mess that shared one such pan. Cooking together in a single vessel was not only practical but also strengthened the bond of brotherhood among soldiers.
Maintenance and Seasoning Guide
As the pan is made of genuine steel, it requires your care to serve you faithfully for generations:
- First Seasoning (Burning-in): Before first use, scrub the pan thoroughly with hot water and detergent (the only time you should use soap!). Dry it well. Pour in a generous layer of high-heat cooking oil (or lard), add raw potato skins or slices and a teaspoon of salt. Fry the mixture until the bottom darkens and the potatoes turn dark brown. Discard the contents and wipe the pan with a paper towel.
- Regular Cleaning: Never put the pan in the dishwasher! Simply wipe it with a paper towel or rinse with hot water if necessary.
- Rust Protection: After each cleaning, lightly grease the pan with cooking oil to prevent corrosion.
Safety Warnings
The pan becomes extremely hot over the fire, including the handle and hook. Always use blacksmith gloves or a thick cloth when handling hot cookware. Never leave an empty pan in direct heat for an extended period, as it may warp. Do not use the product for long-term storage of highly acidic foods, as they may damage the protective layer (patina).
Recommended Accessories
To complete your cooking experience, we recommend pairing the pan with a forged tripod (SKU 1916438400) or a practical pan trivet. For handling your food, our hand-forged spatulas or ladles are the perfect historical match.
