We have one of those red family stackable cookware sets and the saucepans are ok but the not-very non-stick coating is coming off on the frying pan and I'm not overly keen on the idea of eating it!

Does everyone just take pans from home or do you have special camping only ones?

I also find the propane stove I have is difficult to use on low so the frying pan starts smoking a lot.

DH has implied its my cooking

He will be finding himself going rather hungry on this weekends camping trip

I have a set of small camping pans but I also bought a wok, slightly smaller than full size, as the camping pan lid is kind of small to use as a frying pan.

Tesco value range suits us just fine, and they are all non stick with lids! .. and we do 'proper' cooking in them, with no problems. Also have their covered non stick frying pan.

To be honest I tried the Vango camping cook set and it only lasted one season as the non stick coating came off and the pans fell to bits. I now just take saucepans from home. You could as others have suggested buy a cheap pan set and store it with your camping equipment..? I’m intrigued and will keep an eye on this thread to see what other suggestions are made.

My most useful piece of camping cookware has been the Outwell Feast Frying Pan 24cm (the handle detaches) I’ve had this for around three years and still going strong

I use a wok (though not as much now i've got the Cadac) and a set of 3 Swan alumium pans (vintage 1960's off ebay) that have one handle between them and are triangular shaped and can all fit on one ring.

I bought a set of non stick pans for about £20 and I unscrew the handles so as I can stack them in each other so as they dont take up so much room when packed away.
We only use them for camping, always keep a screwdriver in the box as well so as we can assemble and disassemble them.
It did take a fair bit of searching to find ones that you could take the handles off.

My cookware for camping reflects what I use at home: stainless steel saucepans and non-stick frying pans.

I have upgraded my stainless steel saucepans recently to MSR's Alpine Stowaway ones, and they are beautifully made.

My non-stick frying pans all have folding or detachable handles for easier storage. Outwell makes good ones.

I also have 1 stainless steel frying pan with detachable handle from MSR, again, beautifully made.

Also one cast aluminium non-stick grill pan with folding handle for frying steak at high heat.

With stainless steel, burnt food can easily be removed by steel wood.

I have found the non-stick coating on frying pans will wear off over time, no matter how expensive they cost. Hence I no longer spend over 50 GBP on a non-stick frying pan for home, and buy well-made ones at the likes of Lidl's and Aldi's for under a tenner instead.

I need to replace my non-branded non-stick frying pan with folding handle as the coating has started to come off after heavy use for 3 seasons.

I have a Gelert stackable set which I find fine for boiling rice/pasta etc for 1-2 people  but the frying pan became marked after a few uses, is non stick and I did not really get on with it. I now have a cheap non stick saute pan brought in Carrefour which I took away with me this year and have recently bought some good but cheap cookware from Aldi especially for camping.

I have a Remoska oven from Lakeland (needs EHU but uses very little electricity) and found I cooked almost every dinner in that.

We bought a DryPan from G.O. and it's grat. Little mess, cooks anything from eggs to chicken breasts and stew or chips and scallops (Tatties sliced).
Expensive at about £27, but worth it.

Still loving my Swedish Army Trangia stove. I've used it in all sorts of weather. It's dinted, scratched, burned, has bits missing off it and it still does it's job without fail. Including postage, I must have paid under £15.00 for it.

I have a set of the Coelman family pans and I also have a cheap supermarket own brand set which we use for camping.

I cook meals for up to 8 people and all the pans are doing their jobs well!

We have a set of the Primus Litech super,tried the cheep sets when I used to go to France carp fishing. My mate said they were the best he had used ever, he is quite a good lake side cook. After seeing the quality of the Litech super had to havre them, not cheep but then quality never is. Have a look see what you think www.expeditionhardware.co.uk/Primus
