need help finding cookset

[Steffen]

good evening all.
last night i spent the night fishing and caught 3 small saithe, which i of course threw right in the pot, yummy.

used a 12cm zebra pot which worked great.



anyways...
i need a frying pan too.

i'm looking for a cookset with a 1,5l(+/-) pot with a bale, frying pan with a folding handle and atleast 1 lid.
it must be stainless steel, and i want a dedicated lid since i want to be able to use the pan and lid independently.
price range isn't very important seeing as a good pot is among the top 5 important things a man can own.


if i cant find a cookset like that i will get a stainless frying pan with lid, to go with the zebra pot.
suggestions welcome.

and while we're on the topic of cookware:
is there other stainless pots similar to the zebra pot with a bale, and lid that is not a pan, i should be aware of?
i know of the tatonka, but sadly it has a combined lid/pan.

thanks.

Why must be stainless steel?

Some green sticks, flat stones and certain large leaves or even moss or grass work pretty well too. Don't cost a penny either.

How about something like this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-204...id=1368993091&sr=8-1&keywords=coleman+cookset

It doesnt have a bail arm but that is an easy enough mod.

Or this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tatonka-Stainless-Steel-Camp-Large/dp/B000G4XJ1W/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_2

Why must be stainless steel?

because i don't like aluminium and titanium.
think about it, how come no kitchen pots and pans come in aluminium and titanium?

There's tons of kitchen pans in thick aluminium.

Most do. It's a fact.

I have recently acquired the 14 cm Zebra, and I must say that although its a little small, the plate/bowl thingy that comes with it and sits in the top doubles as a nice little frying pan. I simply use a trangia pot gipper as the handle for it, as well as the billy can. I imagine if you went for the 16cm billy it would make and even better pan.

I fried up bacon in it this morning, while boiling some eggs in my 10cm zebra, on my honey stove with trangia.

I'll put this down to a cultural difference and not a medical one, Aluminium cookware is used pretty much all over the world.

There are no medical reasons not to use Aluminium and in fact its a very good metal for making pots, it distributes heat better than Stainless Steel for example.

Rik - true. But every Al cook set I've had, including a Trangia(so not just cheap sets) has become really pitted and often started to leak - Trangia did that.

My stainless steal MSR Alpine set is still going strong after 15 years withno issues and my cheapo ss set is looking good after 5 - the steal is a bit thin for fine cooking but its ok.

That said I am now tempted by a Trangia again - now they do hard anodised ones. Ditch the meths burner and fit my omni fuel.
