Looking for recommendations for top quality pans/cookware. Have used the fox stuff and its too lightweight and bows when under heat. I have been looking at the Stanley cookware as its stainless and heavy duty

anything primus, you cant go wrong,ive had my pans over 23 years.

I have the Stanley pan set and wasnt keen, being stainless things can catch easily.
I've moved to the trakker armolife and cant fault it tbh

I'd stay right away from any fishing branded cookware

If I didn't have over 35 yrs use of the Trangia system or wanted a change,I'd be looking at the medium Trakker armolife stuff with the lid and granite toasty..👍maker..

I use pans for house loads better in my opinion

Trakker Armolife Marble is decent - I've had the compact set for several seasons now and its stood the test of time. Make sure you get the lid (for cooking curries at low heat etc) and the removable clamping handle which although bulky, is way better than the 'fixed / folding' type found on other cookwear. Means you can remove the handle with one hand during actual cooking which is a godsend on uneven ground / on top of a bucket etc as you'll never unbalance a full pot / pan. The frying pan doubles as a plate but you can cook a small fry up in there no probs . . .make sure you use plastic utensils to retain the life of the non-stick surface . . .

I've had my pots from Trangia for well over 30 years and still going strong

I use the tefal ingenio range - the cookware where you can detatch the handle and use the one handle for all the pots and pans.

Its solid and heavier as its designed for home use rather than travel, so we've got loads at home and a couple of pans that stay in the fishing bag. Having no handles they slot nicely into a cookware bag.

Some big sales on their own site at the moment.

This does just fine. The plastic bags stop the saucepan scratching the frying pan and are also used as a small bin bag in the bivvy.
The pan also stores some basic necessities 🤓
The strawberry sauce bottle now has ketchup in it, and the old klinik bottle is washing up liquid.

Are you cracking up 😂stay away from fishing branded stuff but get the trakker gear

In reply to Post #10
No I'm definitely not 'cracking up ' I worded my post incorrectly, what I should have said is ....most fishing branded cooking kit is generic copies ,however ....the Trakker stuff,would be something I'd be interested in,it does actually look quality,...its different to the norm ,looks functional..

Happy now 👏

Ok mate 👍

Depends what you want and how much you want to pay.
Wouldn't spend much or worry about longevity if cooking over a Coleman.

I bought an Eta-power MF stove in 2007-ish, I was fishing all week, working nights, eating and sleeping on the bank plus the weekend.
The pan was used daily for one pan wonders and reheats, spag bols, currys, etc.
The non-stick coating lasted about 5 years,- convert that to however many weekends, I bought a second set in a sale which is still good albeit with much less use.
I have a eta-power jet boil of the same vintage, water, soups..the pot is still mint
Their coating was/is better than any general camping gear or kitchenware.

I also had a small Tefal frying pan for a Sunday fry up and a cheap steel wok, nothing too expensive to worry about.

really rate trangia stuff, had my set which includes stove, upper / lower windshield, pots, pan, kettle for more years than I can remember, the spirit burner great little thing too when it gets below 0c

John Lewis budget range , can’t go wrong with.
