Any suggestions for a bikepacking frying pan? Small and lite without being too small. ;)
Cheap would be great as well but I don't really know what the budget is. :?

The Primus Litech wee pots have a lid that you can use a frying pan... I use an ancient trangia mini frying pan with a pot lifter, not the lightest but its a good size and does the job.

Evernew do a titanium one if you have 50 quid spare! :ugeek: You could drill holes in to make it lighter too! ;)

If you actually want to fry something make sure whatever you buy has a non-stick coating. I picked up a hard anodised, non-stick frying pan last year. It might have been a Gelert or Coleman one, I recall it was less than a tenner ... seems to work okay.

Been looking at this one. Big enough to double as a plate as well.

There's one in Poundland that is flimsy with a crap handle, but is a quid (obviously) and weighs next to nothing. Worth a shot

Pretty sure that one from Cotswold is what we use for family car camping. Works very well, not super light but not mega heavy either.

As Yorlin says ... the Evernew Ti frying pan is nice but costly. Weighs 140g and is 18.5cm x 4cm ... I'm always a little concerned about Ti frying pans, as Ti doesn't conduct heat as well as aluminium and the thin material can be prone to hot-spots.

Ah yep, read up a bit about ti heat transfer - it goes straight through and doesn't spread... Not a problem for noodles or a cup of tea but for frying that's not so great...

MSR 'quick skillet' looks pretty good £24, 166g, 19cm wide, though it's 5cm deep? Apparently it stacks :geek: Looks like it would sit well on a wood fire.

Couple of years back we camped out at Pattack falls (along from Laggan Wolftrax) and scavenged (dead) wood and a rusty bbq grill from the forestry plantation/illegal parking/campsite across the road- something like that would have been great as we could cook properly! Might have a look in the local pound shop, something that cheap you don't mind if it gets knackered or coated in blackened egg!
