A great addition to backcountry kitchens | |
| Rating: |  |
| I've used this pan mostly for cooking backcountry chinese food. It's the perfect size for scrambled eggs for two on an out-and-back trip, and I can fit a heap of spinach or choy in it on solo trips. For two, however, I find we have to cook in two rounds. This is no problem, the pan performs great. The handles are thankfully coated in a non-slip rubber that keeps me from spilling or from burning my hands (which I'm prone to do), and the size/shape make it easy to just shove in wherever. The non-stick coating holds up well, whether browning garlic or scrambling eggs. It does seem difficult to get super clean, so I apply the soap directly and use friendly lichens to scrub. The pan has stained a little over time, but this does not affect its performance in the least. I'm a previously comfort-driven packer moving toward minimalism, and I find this to be a perfect addition to my cooking set when I want to eat something that isn't a one-pot-meal without breaking my back. | |

Perfect lighweight frypan for one or two | |

| This little fry pan is just the right size for one or two. I have cooked eggs, steak, cornbeef hash, grilled cheese, pancakes and much more; all cooked perfectly! I am always careful not to use too high a flame and avoid burning food. Wipes clean with a paper towel. | |

Not Worth the $$'s | |

| This frying pan is very lightweight, but it is too small to use a spatula in (& I love pancakes).. The nonstick is almost impossible to clean (even at home with plenty of soap and a scratchy pad),, I still haven't been able to get it totally clean after only trying to use it a couple of times. About the best use for this frying pan is boiling water, and there are far better options for that. Also, the handles on all of the titanium cooking stuff are very unstable and you risk getting a lap full of boiling water in the backcoutry with them. I'm an avid backpacker, not an armchair car camper. | |

Titanium is just wrong for frying pans | |
| Rating: |  |
| I bought one of these because of the light weight, but they are a terible idea. Titanium just doesn't spread heat well. I never even took mine into the woods, I did a few tests a home and made pancakes that where burned in the center. The only way to get even cooking was to constantly move the pan around. I got one of the aluminum coated pans that come with the Chefware sets and couldn't be happier. It's a couple ounces heavier but worth it if your going to fry fish or pancakes. | |

Not impressed | |

| Bought the titanium pot and fry pan prior to last summer's BWCA trip. Good size for two people. Like the pot for boiling water, but VERY disappointed with the fry pan. Titanium heats very quickly, but doesn't spread the heat well. Despite careful attention while cooking, food quickly burned to the bottom of the pan and could not be adequately cleaned, effectively ruining the "nonstick" finish. Will not be using again. | |

very light, but at a performance loss | |

| I've had my ti ware 3 seasons now, average really isn't the right description, for lightweight it is awesome, but for cooking, it kinda sucks. titanium has horrible heat conduction. It's only due to the thinness of the pan, heat gets through readily, but heat spreading is very poor. I've been using a whisperlite for 20+ years and with a scorch buster, I am very adept at simmering. Going from an aluminum pan to the titanium has added a whole new difficulty to the art of pancakes and fish frying in the woods. But as I bring a lot of creature comforts, I'm always trying to minimize the weight of the stuff I do bring, and so I will continue to suffer with the drawbacks of titanium. I wish one of the manufacturers would get smart and add just a little weight to drastically improve the heatspreading by adding a 20 mil copper cladding to the bottom of the titanium pans. And the frying pan would be better for fish if it was about an inch wider in diameter. | |
