Size matters. I've lost count of the number of pans and sizes in my kitchen. Guessing 6" to 2-handed 15".
I have several, right around the 10" size because they get used more than all the others put together.
Bacon/sausage and eggs, side-by-side, one pan.
I read the specs. I like the folding handle. The wall is straight enough for flipping.
Looks good for the price, too.

thats one nice pan! I have a cheep dollar store stainless steel pan its heavy as it has a hollow handle but then I can put a stick in the handle and be away from the fire a bit I like it but it is just to heavy I would rather get a heavy duty titanium pan and will if I can find a quality one for the right price.

I ordered one this week, it came this morning. I will let you all know how I get on with it . I ordered the smaller 20 cm version
My first opinion is positive, it looks built to last a long long time

Good stuff. I want to know how the inner coating performs.
Nonstick? Some work and some don't.
Tell us a story about bacon & eggs.

I cooked pancakes and bacon in it yesterday , it worked good no sticking . it was only on a small gas cooker tho . I will get it on a camp fire probaly one evening in the next week

Great news. I'm tempted. Did you happen to notice if the wire handle gets hot?

Just not a roaring signal fire but a little cooking fire.
I can taste it already.

Just after sunrise here, beams threaded through the big spruce trees. Breakfast time.

Looks like a good product. I have a similarly sized MSR but it’s stainless with no coating. Unfortunately the handle doesn’t fold, it only detaches.

I've got a bunch of medium-sized pans. They are the best size, I might be using 2 or 3 at a time.
That's why this design caught my eye. Why I'm so interested in the performance.

I use wooden utensils of my own carving to extend the life of the inner surface coating.

I have 3 woks. Two of them are pushing 45 yrs old. Steel tools and non-stick seasoning.
I have yet to use any of them over a cooking camp fire of coals (never flames) but I should.

I would be interested to know if the handles heat up when it's used on a wood fire.
I love the look of the pan.

I will let you as soon as I get out and make fire . I would imagine that as long as the handles are not directly Over the Fire it should be ok .
Although I would imagine that with time the rubber thst covers the handles will start to burn and deteriate.
I had an evernew ti pot for backpacking some years back woch also had rubber over the handles after 5 or 6 fires it was in a state so I just removed what was left of the rubber covering the handles

This ways is the best tasting fish!
Where is the Vodka? As we say in Sweden, 'Fish needs to swim'!
:)


I am not fond of Teflon/non stick surfaces. Scratches easily when you move around the food using your knife.
Quality seems to be excellent.

How heavy is it?

Edit: 675 grams. Heavy baby.

The pan is quite heavy , but it cooks super . The non stick coating g feels robust and even if it turns out not to be then it's no problem as it makes a good pan even without the coating .
It's hard to explain how they have done the coating but it feels kind of impregnated. Although I an not sure if that is the case

Regarding the non stick. The question on everyone's lips is is the non stick fireproof, or is it one that is venerable to high temperatures? Does it scratch or chip, if you hit it or flex the pan?

I have cleaned the pan with a green scouring pad to no adverse effects , I have yet to hit anyone with it so can not really say how it will hold up in a pitched battle

The above photo is a close up of the non stick etching
