The Lakeland stacking pan set is great, its pricey but I got mine for half price as the box was damaged (seem to have a couple reduced down to half price whenever I'm in there) still expensive but the quality is great. I am determined to only use silicone tools so they last for years. They also come with two clip on handles and two clip on lids so you can store food in them as well.

I think "non-stick" is one of the biggest jokes around - I have never had a non-stick pan, regardless of price, that is really non-stick. I am always careful with how I use them but they never last very long!

Hi all,
The main thing that you have to remember is that most camping stoves have a small burning ring that means that there is a small hot spot for cooking on. So the best thing to look for whether nonstick or s/steel is to look for a thick base to spread the heat. Even better would be cast iron but most people would find this to heavy.
Our main pan when camping is a deep sided, large diamater frying pan with lid that we bought from Aldi or lidl (can't remember which). this also allows heat to circulate better and seems to burn less.
we also found that Ikea do a good range of cheap n/stick cooking utensils that are small and compact but still quite stiff and usable and ours havent melted atall after a few years of abuse.

Half the problem is people (like my Mrs) using metal utensils in them. That soon ruins them.

Armchair camper with more tents than I will probably ever get the use out of.

I was only reheating soup over a low heat, it hadn't even got hot enough to eat when I noticed the coating starting to float up. I only use plastic/silicon utensils when camping because of the weight (sad, I know). My frying pan is several years old and that is still perfect! I agree with the comments about thicker bases being better but I do think a pan should be suitable for cooking in and a camping pan should be suitable for cooking in on a camping stove. Love the Lakeland set,BTW!

I bought a Vango set two weeks ago and used them for one weekend. Never again! They are going back to the shop as they really aren't fit for purpose.
Tefal look like they have stopped making their camping stuff so I'll be doing a cheap supermarket / Ikea set for the next trip.

I have a set of Aldi in black non stick, and they have been fine. Having said that, I also bought a good set of heavy Tefal fry pans for camping, and SWMBO now uses them at home rather than our normal home ones.

Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

I bought an Aldi non stick set a few weeks ago, I think they cost £8 and they're really good, I'm impressed. The only thing I don't like is the clip on handle that came with them, it doesn't feel very secure and it started melting too when I used it to hold a pan while I stirred the contents. I'll have to see if I can find a new one that won't damage the non stick coating...

We bought an outwell non stick set a couple of years ago and it has been great. I just tried to find the same set online and can't. I always take a decent frying pan with and use a camping sack to store it in that I get from poundland last year. I cannot be doing with frying bacon, sausage or stir fry for my family in a tiny camping frying pan.
