MSR Alpine Fry Pan

An OLD friend.

I think I must have bought this 20 some years ago. I can not remember for sure. I do remember paying $8 for it so that says something about it's age. I camp about two months total a year and NEVER go without this pan. It has helped prepare food for large groups and sometimes for just me. I banged it around pretty good over the years and accidentally turned a few meals into charcoal. A little gravel or sand and it's good to go again. I have not "lost" the handle and those that consider the det...achable handle a "con" might consider looking at themselves instead of the pan. I have a pot that it makes a perfect lid for so the two of them are the backbone of my kitchen. Sorry for being long winded about this but I ran across the advertisement for it and was kind of shocked to see they are still around. I would buy another but there is nothing wrong with the one I already have.

No Nonsense. No Non stick.

I am a MSR fan after they fixed my whisperlite international, I just paid shipping. This pan is so underrated. I cook with it at home, trail, park, etc. I have been using for over four years and I can throw it in coals or gas it serves the purpose. I enjoy not worrying about heat and non stick. The weight of this is severely negligible for the much better heating qualities of stainless over titanium. Check out my picture of cooking in it with very little leftover I was able to scrape it out. ...As with all pans don't let it get scorching hot. Tip: practice cooking eggs at home, on whatever stove you'll be using. Once you do this a few times and are proficient, you will be ready to take on cooking anything out there and all your wildest dreams will come true.
