UL frying pan ideas on 08/03/2009 18:36:44 MDT Print View

I'd like to try some of the pizza and pancake recipes I've seen lately, but I don't want to carry a heavy frying pan into the backcountry.

Ideas? Could you use a foil product like a pie pan, or something a little thicker than that?

If you search you can find very light fry pan lids. You don't need a deep nor heavy (or thick) pan for doing it - but you will need to watch the pan and shift it on the heat source.

As well, if your cooking pot is a wide/shallow one and is non stick, use it! Deep and narrow is not a good choice though.

I once bought an el cheapo aluminum pie tin when a friend decided he'd be fishing on a trip... worked fine with plenty of oil and low heat. Evernew makes Ti non-stick fry pans, maybe 5 ounces?

Try the One Egg Wonder at Target or Wal-Mart. My friend uses this to make trail pizzas using an aluminum foil lid.
