Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience of using something similar to the ridgemonkey pans? I'm looking for something a little more compact with folding handles ideally.

Thanks

Not used any RM pans but ,the Trakker stone ware cook sets in small ,med,large look really good plus they have a removable handle

Or Trangia do a multitude of separates,cook ware,ie 27 or 25 size hard anodised ,or non stick ,frypans ,pots etc..removable handle as well

Smallest one is a 28 size frypan ,from Sweden.

Is that what you mean ..?.

Primus stove set is pretty good - frying pan have folding handle pots have the grippy type. I take one pot and use the frying pan as a lid with a Primus kettle neatly tucked inside so reasonably compact for what it is.

Never used the ridgemonkey stuff tho

The problem with a pan like a ridgemonkey with folding handles would be, as the pan is supposed to be rotated every now and then, the handles would fold on you as you flip the pan. So basically, the pan would need some form of inventiveness to create such a folding handle that locks which is doable.

And that would probably not happen as there is nothing on the market like that for the tackle industry to copy and mimic.

But, if I was to buy another ridgemonkey style pan, it would be the "Happy Call" which I understand the Ridgemonkey was copied from. Far better as it has a silicone seal with a "steam gap" between the lids which stops fat etc flying out when you rotate and also speeds up cooking as it gets a bit more pressurised inside. Plus, they are a bit bigger. Friend of mine has one and its far superior.

Looking at the handles though on a double sided pan, it would not be that difficult to alter them by sawing them off, drilling some holes and make them attachable with a bracket or spigot and wingnuts

I think Ridgemonkey have got the on the bank cookware pretty well covered. Umpteen sizes of double sided frying and sauce pans with removable handles. Bound to be something in the range to suit.

Failing that. Have a look on Amazon or the various outdoor stores for pans with removable handles. Probably a hundred and one diffrent options out there.

They do a version which the handles clip on and off, it also separates so can be used like a standard pan if needed

A friends got the No Good Tackle version.
At £25 off Amazon and a seal on the lid I can't fault it.

I would expect that the Happy Call pan would be good Zack...they're nearly £100 which seems a bit excessive for any pan ,never mind something to take fishing or camping .
There again...I wouldn't pay more than twice that for a cooker for the house

Check out Stanley. They make some nice cookware. Very rugged, compact and well thought out - especially how all parts and accessories fit into one another.

Ive had the primus kit as suggested below its decent but since the ridge monkey was rel;eased I only use the primus when im camping with the family, the RM XL has detachable handles and is actually smaller and more compact


In my view the rm toaster has been a total game vchanger
Are you sure?
