Hard anodized aluminium

[beenn]

I bought a cook set today made of hard anodized aluminium as i was going to get the MyTiMug which is £25, 110 grammes and 0.5 liters but the cookset i bought was £15, 200 grammes and 0.5 liter pan with a 0.25 liter lid which seems better
So does anyone have any experience with hard anodized aluminium and is it decent and also how would i go about cleaning it in the woods
Cheers

If you treat it as if it were non stick you won't go far wrong. I know it isn't, but hard scrubbing will eventually wear the coating.
Sponge only.

Thanks I was just wondering as i'm planning a long walk/camp, maybe longer than a week and will not have access to hot water (unless boil over fire and put into something) and it says to leave it to soak in hot soapy water

Once you have cooked whatever you are cooking and eaten it out of the pot, put some water and a little Multi purpose soap (biodegradable of course) over the fire/stove and let it bubble away for 10 mins. Take it off the heat, allow to cool for a little then scrub with sponge.

Thanks, will try that out
What about the outside of the pan?

Probably just wipe the soot off with grass then put it in a plastic bag...

Or before using it, wipe a thin layer of washing up liquid over the outside, should help to stop the sooting.

Soot outside the pan won't do any harm, a bit of detergent and soft sponge for the inside, same as you would a pan at home.
