Best Frying Pan

“Who takes a frying pan with them when they backpack?

What kind is it?

How heavy is it?

How does it work?

Thank you.”

“Good questions:

I don't use one.”

“I bring one.. it comes with my cookset.. small.. 6-9".. teflon.. use it for eggs, pancakes..”

“I love an 8" cast iron that is well seasoned.”

“heh .. nothing like cast iron.. do you carry one sometimes?.. really?”

“what's the puppy weigh in at.. 3-4lbs?”

“I love cast iron!
off the trail that is.

I used to bring a 8" stainless frypan of my moms. weighed somewhere near a pound I guess.

I don't use one anymore though.”

“hpm: heh.. u guys boil water.. that's about it.

:)”

“Well lately anyway, yes.

If ya get a chance ask Madman about the omlettes I made on his first trip with me. All fresh stuff.”

“I bought a 7" non-stick frypan at WalMart cheap, took the handle off. It still weighs 9 oz. The apple juice can I use to boil water weighs 5 oz. So the titanium pot weights published amaze me almost as much as their prices.”

“No, I don't carry cast iron backpacking. Now if I could talk someone into carring it for me....”

“Skully brings fresh eggs.. :).. and she is a GOOD cook.”

“I used too bring only fresh food and actually cook when backpacking.

I must be getting lazy. I think I need to start doing that again.

Nothing like a 3 egg omlette with ham, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, a little green pepper, and two types of cheese in the morning. While on the trail.”

“That's what I'm talking about! Now come on. Who's got a nice frying pan they take with them? I'm looking to purchase an individual pan, not a whole set. I'd like it to have a rounded bottom if possible. like a sautee pan. And I'd like it to weigh the least possible.”

“yes, and Teflon coated please”

“Like the one that comes with my Bakepacker oven. Does double duty.”

I am takin a hiking twip to wyoming & this is gonna be my trout cooker! only 11 oz & a good price! !”

“That's pretty cool, Sratdewd. I've also been looking at this mutha”

“I went to the local supermarket and found one the suited me just fine except for the handle and that I cut off, It has served me well for over two years.”

“Chech out this hard anodized aluminumFrying Pan”

“Cook anything with tomatoes or acid in it and away goes the coating. It's just been treated with a sulfuric acid compound to harden it. Got to see this thousands of times. Literally. Works really well though. Still best to have a teflon coating with it.”

“I thought the non-stick coating was teflon.”
