Harrow Disc Fire Pan Romashka 40 cm with Rim

The Romashka 40 cm pan is designed for outdoor cooking over an open fire. Its cooking surface is made from a processed steel harrow disc measuring 6–8 mm in thickness. This substantial surface stores heat and suits longer cooking sessions outdoors. It provides room for frying potatoes, meat, fish, mushrooms, or vegetables, as well as for moving ingredients between hotter and gentler areas while a meal is being prepared.

A practical format for shared outdoor meals

The round cooking area can hold ingredients in a single layer or accommodate several parts of the same dish side by side. A 40 cm diameter is useful at a picnic, campsite, fishing spot, or country house when a domestic frying pan is too small but an oversized fire pan would be unnecessary. Heat is controlled through the amount and position of the fuel and the distance between the flame and the cooking surface, allowing the setup to be adjusted to the food rather than relying on a fixed hob setting.

A raised rim runs around the pan. It helps keep diced potatoes, vegetables, and smaller pieces of meat on the surface during stirring and reduces the chance of pushing food over the edge. Two side handles make the pan easier to control when positioning it. All metal parts can become hot near a fire, so the handles should only be touched with suitable heat-resistant gloves.

Cooking on a thick steel disc

Warm the pan gradually before adding the ingredients, using cooking oil or another fat appropriate for the recipe. A 6–8 mm steel surface responds more slowly to changes in the fire than thin household cookware. It takes time to come up to temperature, but the stored heat supports steady frying when a larger batch is added. For consistent results, spread the ingredients across the surface, stir them at intervals, and move them between the hotter centre and the outer area when necessary.

The rim is particularly useful when turning potatoes or a mixture of chopped vegetables. Meat or fish can be browned over a well-heated section and then moved to gentler heat to finish cooking. This model has no stated factory non-stick coating, so food should not be cooked on a completely dry surface. The amount of oil, intensity of the fire, and cooking time should be selected for the particular ingredients rather than treated as fixed settings.

Cleaning and storage

Allow the pan to cool naturally after cooking. Remove food residue, clean the surface by hand, wipe it thoroughly, and make sure it is fully dry before storage. A very thin film of food-grade oil can be applied to the steel cooking surface to maintain its prepared condition and limit contact with moisture. Keep the pan in a dry place between outings. When selecting a support above the fire, allow for the stated 40 cm diameter, the possible dimensional variation of up to 5%, and the need to keep the complete pan stable throughout cooking.
