A friend told me they would probably use normal kitchen pans as the cooker i have gives it a proper burn and may well melt camping pans.

I burnt the coating off a non-stick camping frying pan on the coleman (my mistake for having the flame too high - but it happened FAST!), so last time I just took a cheap frying pan from the supermarket - worked a treat!  Cheaper than the camping pans, too (but they do take up more space...)

When I need to replace the camping pans - a cheap set of pans will do me nicely! More expensive pans with thick bases may not heat through properly because of the reduced heat from the coleman compared to an installed hob - but this is just an assumption!

The second burner is only to simmer on, it does'nt go as high as the main burner.

I use a normal tefal frying pan which works great, other pans are just nonstick camping set & they've been fine.

 For a griddle plate I used the removable plates from a sandwich/grill toaster, the ones I had were a good fit they've just got past it now as they are very old & the surface is gone, I think I may look for something similar again as most of the proper plates do seem to be too big & a bit pricey. It may be worth looking out for a cheap party grill/toaster just to rob the plates.
