Mix of experience really both camping and home. If I had to choose bomb proof it'd be a thicker Titanium but cost would probably make me choose stainless.

None stick, expensive or cheap, great at 1st but don't last. Camping/fishing wise, if a few years will do you the MSR Skilllet is very good, but pricey.

Granite, wierd one. At home and expensive a granite one lasted just over a year but our Ridgemonkey ones are still going after 3 or 4. We use the RM ones for camping and fishing too.

Stainless, for me personally the best if weight not a consideration. Yes stuff sticks but you can scour them and they don't hold smells.

Cast iron, 3rs best. You have to be a little careful cleaning which isn't a biggy but they can slightly hold smells from things like curry/sesame oil etc. Is that a problem, not really. If you do clean them too enthusiastically you will have to apply a light coat of oil to stop rust.

Titanium, for me the best if weight a consideration. It's what's in my fishing gear. I bought a really light thin one as I was on a weight saving drive, it can buckle on high heat but I don't find it a problem, thicker pans don't. Like stainless things can stick but they can be scoured.

Edit, just had a quick look on Ebay, the price of titanium camping frying pans has at least halved since I last looked about 10 or more years ago!

I wouldn't get a cast iron pan ,they weigh a ton ,but did you know Trangia do a whole range of frying pans ,if you go on the Trangia website you'll see what I mean

These pans can be used in,or on they heat source,so they tough
Trangia,also bringing out a ceramic ,super non stick pan drekkly.

Also....if I was looking ,and used a gas heat source,I'd definitely be looking at Trakkers granite range ..

Stainless is a faff, I know because,I have MSR Seagulls..

Bit of a random one, my ridgemonkey is knackered, I need a new pan. Non stick pans never last, has anyone had much luck using a stainless steel pan or a seasoned cast iron one?
