Nesting camping cookware

• This nesting camping cookware weighs 320 g for the set, about as much as a full water bottle, and goes in the rucksack without an argument.
• The shallow pan drops over the pot, and the two nest and pack as one lump instead of rattling loose at the bottom of the pack.
• Wire handles fold flat against the body and have a sleeved grip, so you can lift a hot pot straight off the burner.
• The aluminium takes heat fast on the gas canister stoves most campers run, and a brew is minutes away rather than a wait.
• Handle sleeves come colour coded in green or orange, and orange is the one you can still find in long grass at dusk.

Nesting camping cookware: a 320 g aluminium set for one or two

Cooking for one or two on a wild pitch comes down to a pot, something to eat out of and nothing else. The Nesting Camping Pots and Pans set does that at 320 g: a deep pot for water and a shallower pan that sits over it for packing and doubles as a bowl. Both carry folding wire handles with a sleeved grip, so they lie flat against the body in the pack and give you something to hold when the pot comes off a gas burner. Aluminium picks up heat quickly, which suits a canister stove in a tent porch or a fast brew at the top of a long climb. Wash it by hand rather than putting it through a dishwasher and it keeps looking like kit rather than scrap.
