    Spun steel cookware

    Looking at ditching the heavy rarely used cast iron dutch oven and getting a spun steel bedourie instead, 12" with lid and trivet can replace a number of other heavy items with the bonus of being easier to keep clean and seasoned.
    The aussie made southern spinners look like good value.

    Looks good - I can confirm that you won’t regret the change from cast iron iron after you use it.

    My Dr Livingstone's Bedourie by Southern Metal Spinners must be over 30 years old - I'm pleased to hear that they're still doing them -makes a great baked dinner as well as a great damper

    Mine came with a lid lifter - it is also an essential bit of kit.

    They say that the lid can be used as a frying pan - I've never tried this.

    Had never heard of them. Have just trawled through their website for the last hour instead of sleeping. That looks like great gear and at a reasonable price. And, best of all, made here

    My biggest fear would be uneven cooking. Thats the great thing about thick cast iron. Id want to read some side by side reviews after trying unsuccessfully to cook porridge in a titanium pot.

    I have been told that these cook the same things as a conventional camp oven but you need less heat.
    I have got one sittig at home that I haven't tried out yet But I will give it a try when I get back home.

    Uneven cooking hasn't been a problem, burn a good sized cooking fire down until it has nice hot coals and then gently shift that fire off the fire site (enough to get a good size spot with clearance for the bedourie). Then place the full bedourie on that hot ground, and keep the shifted fire going on one side to provide coals, and put no more than a small shovel load of coals on top of the bedourie and let a small overflow of coals fall down around the base. Top up the coals that are on top as they cool and allow the ash to fall down the outside.

    It's not something that can be achieved on a luncheon stop - it is more a destination thing than for providing a quick meal.

    - and you need your fire going early to heat the ground and get good coals.

    As with a cast iron camp oven, a shovel and leather gloves are essential management tools.
