Non Stick Folding Camping Frypans

Opps..


I always thought this was a folding frypan, but would not buy it because of the health problem, with the non stick chemical. (it is known to be highly toxic)

Might pay to email them..
On reading the article properly, I may have been wrong.


We have 2 folding handle iron frypans, a large, and a small one

I got one of those ones. It's now in the local landfill. Never once did anything NOT stick, no matter what we tried :(

Bucky's on the money.

I have a small folding handle Hillbilly frypan and it's great for eggs, etc.
It is not really "non-stick" out of the box but as with most Hillbilly gear, seasoning of the frypan (just like their camp ovens) will give you a great cooking tool.

The spun steel needs oiling to maintain a rust free surface but gives a similar (better) result than a teflon coating.

Love my Hillbilly gear!

We bought a set of those stacking sausepan/frypan/wok and yes we don't put them on the flames, but I carry a griddle that I sit on the coals and sit the frypan on the griddle.
They are non stick and very good quality.

Yep, us also.

Got the same set and so has my Brother in law as soon as he saw it.

Brilliant piece of kit. Threw all the other camp cooking pot/pan rubbish in the bin.
We also use the wok unit at home. So easy to clean and store.
(gas or hot coal cooker only...wouldn't put them on an open fire)

Don't know my self but the link also says
" Are Teflon® non-stick coated cookware products safe?
Yes, Teflon® non-stick products are safe. Prior to market introduction, DuPont non-stick coatings were subjected to studies at the DuPont Haskell Laboratory for Health & Environmental Sciences. Cooks in more than 40 countries around the world have purchased and used billions of pots and pans with DuPont non-stick coatings. Over the past 40 years, there is only one published account of a minor health effect, reversible flu-like symptoms, as a result of severely overheating non-stick cookware. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that DuPont non-stick coatings for cookware are acceptable for conventional kitchen use. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission rejected a petition in 2003 to require a label warning for non-stick coatings. The Enivoronmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not believe there is any reason for consumers to stop using any consumer or industrial related products."

It's gotta be safer than smoking or driving a car?

I not overly concerned about their health issues, rather the usability/survivability of these coatings on uncontrolled temperatures. I'm sure there will be an out-clause around somewhere mentioning "when used in accordance with manufacturers recommendations". :)

Used our Coleman only on gas stove for 4 days and it's already ruined! Used right tools etc but it's coating just isn't strong enough!

That's the way John.

Just put in approx 50mm of hot water, a squirt of detergent, wait 5 minutes.

Presto !.. nothing stuck.

A smear of oil, fire up the heat for a minute, re-seasoned

All non stick is banned from our house

I think Robin means the Campfire range of pans.
They do frypans and pans that are cast alloy with an enamalled surface. Gave ours a recent 5 weed workout with no problems.

Thanks Robin.

That's worth a follow up.

Cheers.

Yes...well that's not all that helpful MP.

Wot about some details??

Cheers.

I bought mine many many years ago in a camping store in Bundy. However i have seen some at garage sales in WA. Odd occasion have seen them in Kmart or Target Nothing comes to you unless you go and get it.
Good luck.

Thanks MP.

Altho retired, I don't think I've the time to doss around the garage sales on spec; need the time to prepare for the next trip.

Think I might look at one of these instead:
