Trangia non-stick coating bubbling off

[Teepee]

The first use of my new 27 pot has lifted the teflon coating all over the bottom in bubbles.

I've sent it back as faulty, but if its a common problem I'll not bother with anymore.


Anyone else had this?

what heat sorch you using, gas/fire/gell/meths? what ever you use should be ok

 

[Teepee]

Meths. I'd hoped to use it with my petrol burner as the aldi teflon set I've got handles it easily.

Don't use Teflon pans never ends well !
learnt that one myself some years ago...stainless, aluminium or iron are ok but never Teflon

 

[Teepee]

I've got teflon pans in the kitchen that work really well, including a £1.99 job from Ikea that has fried no end of stuff. I use them every day. My aldi non-stick camping pots are fine too.

I like them, but you have to be careful with them and never use metal to stir with.

yep I have teflon at home and they are ok....Just when I used over a real fire they didn't last well

I've no experience of the Trangia NS stuff but my MSR Blacklite pans have stood up really well to 10+ years of abuse. It's only the last couple of years that I've started noticing it coming away in places, I think most of that is down to getting sand in the pack on beachy canoe trips

I had a couple of similar pans with Teflon - not Trangia though, Blacks I think - & the coating started to come off. Don't bother with Teflon as a rule now - Hard Anodised on the 25 & Doussal on the 27.

Another vote for the cheap Aldi kit. No problems with mine at all. I never shelled out for the Trangia variety sop can't comment on them.

 

[Teepee]

Update;

The Outdoorshop replaced the pan, the new one has no issue and has not bubbled at all.

The coating on the new one still doesn't look as good as the Aldi pans though.

For avoidance of doubt - that was a fault

My Trangia teflon pans ahve been used three times a week for ten years. They are scratched in places (my fault) - but not bubled and the teflon has not lifted one jot.

Not bad for a set that cost me £1 a pan (oh why did I not buy the 30 pans on offer )
