KarooBraai Stainless Steel Curved Vuur Varkie (Fire Piggy) with Thermometer

The only Vuur Varkie in South Africa available in Stainless Steel!

The only ergonomically shaped Vuur Varkie to follow the shape of home-made bread – ensuring a healthy super-looking loaf from your oven!

A ‘Vuur Varkie’ (literally, a fire piggy /bread piggy) is a traditional South African bread oven.

The vuur varkie /fire piggy is used in the embers and embers or briquettes added on the side slots and over the top – this guarantees even heating.
Naturally you can bake crusty bread in this oven in no time at all!

But besides baking breads, rolls or pastries, the vuur varkie /fire piggy can be used in many creative ways, for example to cook proteins, or a vegetable dish, or even desert!
You can also adjust it so it is directly over the fire or only partially over the fire so some foods get more heat than others.
Some use it on a kettle braai, next to a fire, on top of a fire, or simply with its own coals.

From baking breads, rolls to cooking roasts like pork belly, lamb shanks, ribs, etc, or anything you prepare in an oven – you can have it just the way you like it.
Take it to the beach, camping, tailgating, or put it up in your own backyard.
Have a great time braaiing some chicken, fish, and veggies without burning it to a crisp.

Taking care of your stainless steel Vuur Varkie:
Grade 3CR12 stainless steel is far superior to austenitic alloys in that it strongly resists chloride stress corrosion cracking.
3CR12 may tend to form a light, surface discolouration when exposed to aggressive environments.
This patina is superficial and does not affect the mechanical properties of the steel.

Grade 3CR12 stainless steels exhibit scaling resistance between 600 and 750 C in the presence of air.
Stainless steel and chlorine do not belong together.
We can safely say that chlorine and chlorine products are among the greatest enemies of stainless steel.
Grade 3CR12 has some resistance to pitting corrosion in the presence of chloride.
Under ambient conditions, grade 3CR12 has improved resistance to water and chloride substances, as the corrosivity of chloride contents will be mitigated by the nitrate and sulphate ions.

Our products are guaranteed against faulty workmanship and /or faulty materials employed for the intended use of braai products.
Any braai item needs care throughout its lifetime, and preventative maintenance is necessary to keep our warranty valid.
Damage caused by rust as a result of adverse conditions, no maintenance or misuse is not covered by this warranty.

If you choose to clean your oven with soapy water after baking, then thoroughly rinse and dry it straight away as this will prevent it from developing any rust.
When you are not using your Vuur Varkie, it should be kept in a clean, dry and protected area undercover and away from environmental elements.
There is no harm in oiling your stainless steel Vuur Varkie just the same as you would oil your potjie.
