What about pots!
 

I'm on my second set now (first cooking set was two Vango pans which were crap). Currently using a Primus pot which has been pretty good, but I find the non-stick coating has, like the Vangos did after a week, began to rub off. Any suggestions for my next set? Non-stick saves a lot of scrubbing but no good once it wears off.

Cheers!

Stainless steel.
As soon as finished .. put in water and raise to boil - for cleaning.

There re some tricks to cooking with minimal clean up.. if using cheese .. add it last and leave it on top .. that will leave the pot/pan very easy to clean.

Both the camping shop sets I currently use are stainless steel. I've used aluminium (presumably some alloyed version) ones in the past but not only have they not lasted, they've looked like some part of the pot has ended up in my dinner when using acidic ingredients. I do have a set of non stick coated ones somewhere but cooking with err... "robust" implements (like my Swiss army knife or a screwdriver) has taken its toll on the coating.

We just took a couple of regular non stick saucepans / frying pan (with handles that unscrewed) on our recent US trip but used proper plastic / wooden kitchen implements and took care with cleaning them afterwards. They all survived ok and will get used again.

I use good quality stainless steel pots with alumiium sandwich constructed bottoms. They seldom burn so easy to clean, Helps if your stove can simmer well as I like stews/curries and casseroles (one pot wonders).

Agreed with every one. Stainless steel.

I have had this set since..1995. [url=http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/cookware/simple-cooking/alpine-2-pot-set/product]MSR

Used and abused, and except for a few dents you cant tell they are not a week old.

Stainless steel....

You can't beat it. It's not the lightest or the cheapest but it's by far the most practical.

I like the Zebra stuff.

On a trip I can make almost anything in the 12cm Billy. It comes with a little dish inside which is handy too.

They don't stack in each other which is annoying. But I just use the space for Teabags, condiments, scouring pad etc.

They're near on indestructible. I've thoroughly beaten mine up for ten years and it still looks near new.

And Ray Mears uses them haha. ;)

Buy - Billy Tins - Ronnie Sunshines




EDIT...

I've just spotted a new product of theirs. called the Food Carrier. Looks like a very versatile piece of kit for bike travel. If you have the space. You can cook with all those separates.

Also the Zebra Lunchbox works as many things. I might get one.

Looks like what the Indians use to transport lunches around in .. possibly a larger version?

I have something similar .. does not have the separate tray but very similar.
You can pack lot in there and the lid locks down so it won't spill the contents. The locking handle becomes the cooking handle over the fire. Not water light as I found out after crossing a rather too deep creek, prewet tea bags are not things you want to use. :helpsmilie:

"Rocket" is another brand.

The Indians use Tiffins. That's what the zebra one is styled on yes. Looks just a tad big though. I've just ordered the Zebra 14cm Lunch box.

Wow stainless steal it is then! Thanks for the suggestions.
