Backpacking skillet

[Sverimerica]

Hi there,

Wondering if anyone uses or knows about a good lightweight skillet that would be good for short backpacking trips with the kids. Bacon in the morning is something we all love! I have one from my trangia alcohol cookset, but wondering what else anyone here uses. Thanks

You just missed a great Massdrop special on Keith Titanium frying pans. they had a regular and non-stick version. I received mine in the mail recently but haven't had an opportunity to try it out in the field yet.

MSR makes a good non stick. But they are pretty small

Fry-bake pans are my go to camping pans, the alpine set is a reasonable size for backpacking if you like to actually cook.

I picked up a really small skillet at Walmart. Maybe 4" wide aluminum and teflon coated. It only weighs a few onces. One egg at a time tho!

I cook a piece of bacon cut in half, when near Down cracked an egg over it and thru it in tortilla. Worked well, one at a time...

Love having bacon in the morning, but all of mine is precooked, can be eaten cold or thrown in the skillet (MSR) with the hash browns.

I bought this and it works awesome. It is not titanium. It's aluminum. But, its light. Like 3.5 ounces light. Not fond of the china thing but, that's where the brand names one are coming from too. Except they cost about 5 times more.

Check out the new Sea to Summit Alpha Pan 8” and 10”.. $35 and $45 respectively. I’m going to pick up the 10”.. read good things about their new Alpha cooksets and cookware.

Have you cooked fish in it?

Thanks for the great suggestions guys, I will take a look and pick something up. The spring fishing trips are great for fire cooking, ie. no ban on fires

For a short trip with kids, why not that Paderno carbon steel skillet? It would be bomb proof and damn near perfect for bacon. Not the lightest option, but with kids, you going in far? I dunno.

Absolutely. Just wanting to get away from the cast Iron

It’s not cast iron. It’s carbon steel. Much much lighter.

I just remembered something I tried.

My wife bought those cookies that come in a roll, and it came with this thin 4" coast iron fry pan and o make big cookies at home.

I nabbed it. Not light maybe 4-5 oz. did a scouting trip and took it and stove. Cooked a bacon strip cut in half, then cracked an egg over it and thru it tortilla.

It's a novelty piece, but it will serve one and an option I'll do again.

Yeah, I meant that cast iron is what I have used... Good for car camping, nothing else

I’ve used the GSI pan a little bit. Seems to work well and weighs nothing
