Just added a Frying Pan!
As we get our kit read for our upcoming European tour we decided to add a frying pan to our cook kit. Went with a Sea to Summit one. Dec we might like to vary our meals with eggs!

What and when is your trip?

I have their collapsible cup and bowl. Love them. I also have one of their mattresses. Love that too. My all-time favorite.
I don't cook breakfast (other than boiling water for pasta and maybe heating up a bagel in the same pot while the French press is doing its thing), so I don't bother with a pan. Sautee in one pot and cook pasta in the other.

I have never tried one of their pans. But have tried several other brands of camping fry pans.
Over the years I have been quite frustrated with camping fry pans that were too thin and had hot spots near the stove burner head. But a good kitchen quality one was a bit too heavy. Eventually one day I saw a cheap home use type fry pan on sale, I looked at it and it was about half the thickness of the good kitchen ones, but still much thicker than the thin lighter weight camping ones. And the handle could be removed with a screwdriver. But, I have a camping type pot gripper, did not need the heavier handle. Bought it and it works great for camping for two or three people. See photo.
Since then I had been on the lookout for a small one that would nest in my small pot that I use on solo trips. Found one, although I had to drill out part of two rivets to remove the handle. Stores perfectly inside my small cooking pot. With the weight of a ziplock to protect the non-stick surface, the pan without handle is 115 grams, plus a 45 gram pot gripper.
