Description

The Caribbean boasts as rich and diverse a culinary heritage as any region on earth, one that's given birth to an array of distinctive cooking styles over the centuries as diverse as our islands themselves. There are, of course, a few common threads that unite the region's dynamic gastronomy. Chief among them: the coal pot. Whether you call 'em coal pots, coalpots, coal stoves, or dutch pots, as they're sometimes called in Jamaica, these mighty mites have served as a primary means for making many of the region's most cherished meals for generations. As noted here, just about any cherished Caribbean meal can be cooked to perfection over a coal pot. Owing to their small size and portability, your're also apt to see coal pots being put to good use most anywhere. For example, your coal pot can be used to grill some vegetables or barbeque a veggie burger and perhaps even roast a breadfruit.
