Ah yes. These days you buy a super expensive item from a known company with long history only to get shafted. What a time we live in. Tbh PTFE-coated pans are a very bad idea for camping. Not only you can easily damage them mechanically, they also can easily overheat when cooking on coals, which breaks down PTFE and releases toxic gases in the process.
Super expensive? it's 30 euros for the burner, pot, fry pan, stand, pot gripper. I don't know about "super" expensive... It's just PTFE being PTFE if it weren't for the coating then this would be non-issue.
@@dobrofool That's nice. But it's not a non-stick coating or anything. It's more of a decorative/protective kind. I've heard good thing about new kind of non-stick coating with titanium in it. My friend just brings a light Tefal pan from home with him and is perfectly happy with how it performs. Maybe Trangia will incorporate it in a year or two, who knows? But honestly I don't really care about coated camping cookware. I'm using German army mess tin replica made from food-grade aluminum and don't experience any issues with it. Cleans easily too with a bit of water and charcoal from the campfire. If I were to buy another camping pot/pan I'd probably pick stainless steel, only because it's dishwasher safe and I don't need to be delicate with it like with coated cookware.
That's a great hack, along with the same windscreen I added to mine. I like the rubber bands to limit pan shifting. Very well done. 👍👍🙂

Agreed on all points. Interesting thought cooking over coals.. 🙄

@@Tiger-789 Trangia sets cost upwards from 60$ where I live. So it's a matter of perspective.
@@romant1127 I just found out that (supposedly) they will be releasing an HA (hardanodized aluminium) version of the mini some time this summer… 🤔

If you buy non stick you get the nubs flaking non stick . On the flange nail. Learn cook. Not flakey excuse
