Cast iron cauldron: cooking over a wood fire in freedom

Approche Libre wants to bring the cauldron back to the heart of the home

Cast iron cauldron for cooking over a wood fire – outdoors or in a fireplace

Cooking in a cauldron is more than just a meal:
it's an act of autonomy, a cultural transmission, a special moment... to share.

We are convinced that this ancestral method of wood-fired cooking deserves its place alongside the barbecue to bring a touch of originality and conviviality to our tables.
Slower, more rooted, freer cooking...

With our three-legged cauldrons, you can easily cook outdoors, or simply in the hearth of a fireplace.

Approche Libre® is betting on starting the trend... and it starts now!
