Pots and pans - advice

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Camping-Equipment-tent-folding-chairs-sleeping-bags-/230576752338?pt=AU_Tents&hash=item35af7206d2

I bought a set of these recently.

Excelent price. One removable handle, therefore real easy stacking.

Tefal Ingenio Blue Saucepans

And these:

Frying Pans

It's a shame they didn't have the frying pans in the "blue" range as they are cheaper. Nevertheless, they stack beautifully and handles and lid knobs are removable.

I just bought a new set for the OKA here in Fiji.
They are made in India.
Stainless steel with copper bottoms and 2 side handles (not a 'loose' handle).
They nest. Available from tiny to huge. Slightly squat compared to most sausepans. These things are great.
Check the Indian shops. I have seen a couple of styles here and they are quite cheap.

I chose cheap pots and pans (like from Woolworths and Coles) as they are lighter. Cheap enough to replace if they ever come to grief. I purchased lightweight cutlery but can't remember where from - probably Big W or similar. The same ones (or look the same) are sold in camping stores.Mine came in a square plastic jar.

I too have just purchased a set made by Tefal from Kangaroo tent city a little bit pricey but very compact and comes in its own little bag.
Used it for 4 weeks camping over Xmas and never looked for or needed another pot or pan during that time, apart from a Hillbilly Camp Oven and a Square Fry pan from ABR (for cooking snags on the beach.)
For two adults and three kids it was perfect.

Dont buy the Coleman red set of pans...They are crap..

Good quality light weight stackable stuff can be had from most stores that provide gear for hickers. Mountain and similar brands also do stackable everything. Have found the most useful thing a heavy steel frying pan with a handle that folds in flat to the base of the frying pan. It is about 30cm (though came in many sizes) and can be used on a stove or fire with no issues. It was less than $20.

I use a Trangia for my pots, and just add a full sized saucepan which the Trangia fits into, and a large frypan. I put it, together with a plastic container containing all the plates, cutlery etc into a Nally fish box( also holds the filleting knives, cutting boards, etc)..... - not much room to spare and I cant think of how to / havent been able to pack it up any smaller

We bought our Tefal Ingenio at the Caulfield Caravan Show a year or two ago from I think Good Guys. Much cheaper than at Myers. A great product. I think Nav1 got theirs at Harris Scarfe.

We go the simple route and use a set of aluminium billies. They are light, stack together and you can use them on the stove top or the fire. We also have an old non-stick frying pan from IKEA that has been retired from house service. Along with that we carry a Bedourie and a big stainless billy for our showers.

The whole lot stacks together with the bedourie on the bottom, then the stainless billy, the set of billies and the fold-up mesh toaster inside that, and the frying pan slides down the side. It all fits into a drawer in the back of our 80 series.

For plates, we bought sets of plastic picnicware (big plates, bowls & cups) from Bunnings (around $7 a set) and our cutlery is old household stuff, but you can buy a cheap set from Big W or IKEA or any of the big shops. You can roll it up if you want to stash it somewhere small.

I don't happen to know of any quality sets that will do what you're asking, but with a bit of innovation you can make up your own and it will be just as good!

Tefal Ingenio have a blue enamel set of saucepans 5 stackabe with non stick coating they also have a 28cm wok and 2 smaller frypans.

they have 2 stainless frypans non stick 28cm wok
also have set of stainless saucepans
also a coocoon set stainless non stick 1 wok 1 frypan 1 pot
these are all great sets but pricey

you could just buy a handle about $25
a set of cheap saucepans from kmart or stvinnies or the salvos they need to have a small lip for the handle to clip onto, remove original handles grind off any protruding bit and you have a set that fits together
