Friendship in a Pot

Real Customer Experiences with the Claasens Designs Friendship Potjie

There’s something truly South African about gathering around a fire, sharing stories, and cooking together. The Friendship Potjie by CLAASENS brings people closer — one mini meal at a time. Made from lightweight cast aluminium, it’s designed for easy cooking, cleaning, and conversation.

But don’t just take our word for it — here’s what real customers have to say about their experience.

What Is the Friendship Potjie?

The Friendship Potjie is a modern take on the traditional South African potjie pot — only it’s made from cast aluminium, making it lighter, more durable, and easier to clean than the old heavy cast iron versions.

Each person can cook their own small potjie meal, turning any braai or family get-together into an interactive feast. It’s perfect for fondue nights, camping trips, or fun-filled family weekends.

“It was fun and joy for each guest to make his own flavor potjie.” — Sarel R.
