Cooking pots, saucepans & frying pans for hiking and camping

```html To accompany your hiking stoves, it is necessary to have a container for your food that can withstand heat. This container should be light and compact to easily fit into a backpack.
To cook in the forest or mountains without being burdened, there are several types of accessories: the cooking pot, the saucepan, the frying pan, or even the kettle. Each meets different expectations.
Our catalog contains all the necessary equipment for your activities. Let's see together which one best suits your situation.

The cooking pot: an essential for trekking

The cooking pot is halfway between a cup and a saucepan. Generally, it offers a larger capacity than a cup. Its capacity varies between 0.5 liters and 1 liter. The cooking pot is an accessory exclusively dedicated to camping, bivouacking, and expeditions. It is light, compact, and can be placed on a wood fire or a gas stove.
There are several materials for hiking cooking pots. The first is stainless steel. It is a robust, light material with no health risks. It is also durable over time and will accompany you on many outings in the wilderness.
Next, there is aluminum. Even lighter than stainless steel, aluminum cooking pots are ideal for those looking for ultra-light accessories. Be careful, aluminum can be dangerous to health if ingested by the body. Therefore, make sure to opt for quality equipment. All aluminum cooking pots sold on Freezedriedandco.com are completely safe for health!
The noble material for cooking pots is titanium. It is the lightest of all. Titanium cooking pots are barely noticeable in the backpack. They are also robust and durable over time. Slightly more expensive than aluminum and stainless steel ones, they remain a good long-term investment. High-mountain trekking enthusiasts love them, particularly the Toaks cooking pots.
Finally, there are silicone cooking pots. This material has the advantage of being foldable. Thus, a silicone cooking pot takes up very little space in the backpack since once folded, it becomes flat. It is a bit heavier than other materials but still very light. The disadvantage of these cooking pots is that they are less versatile than others. Indeed, foldable silicone cooking pots are only used on a gas stove. To do this, they must have a stainless steel base. Silicone is sensitive to heat. Therefore, it is strongly discouraged to use them on a wood fire.
Freezedried & Co offers you a wide choice of cooking pots below. There are options for all prices, materials, and capacities. If you want to filter to see only the cooking pots, use the filters.

The hiking saucepan: ideal for cooking

If the cooking pot is mainly useful for heating water for your freeze-dried meals or pasta, it quickly shows its limits when it comes to cooking with refinement. You then need to opt for a saucepan. Unlike the cooking pot, the saucepan is wider, allowing for better distribution of food and even cooking.
The camping saucepan also has a larger capacity. Its capacity varies between 0.8 liters and 4, or even 5 liters. Large capacities are ideal for groups. If you are used to hiking with friends or family, the saucepan allows you to cook convivial meals to share around a fire.
Regarding materials, the most common is stainless steel. It is the most robust material and the most suitable for carrying heavier loads. This is why you don't find large-capacity titanium saucepans.
Titanium saucepans rarely exceed 1.2 liters. But there are still models starting from 0.7 liters. You can cook good meals without weighing down your backpack. For example, the Toaks titanium cooking pot sold on Freezedriedandco.com has a capacity of 700 ml and weighs only 90 g! It is suitable for one person going on a trek or expedition.

The frying pan for bivouacking: equip yourself with quality equipment

Although less common, there are frying pans suitable for bivouacking or expeditions. They are rarely found on GR® or short hikes, considering it a luxury that can be done without. However, for long expeditions, it is an essential accessory for cooking foods such as meat or eggs.
The frying pan is also appreciated by van or camper travelers. Finally, it is also suitable for bivouacs around a good meal, at sunset.
Current models are almost all made of stainless steel for the qualities described above. It is more robust and still light. However, there are also high-quality anodized aluminum models. Most models have a non-stick coating that prevents food from sticking. It is still preferable to use a little oil.
To maintain the non-stick character of the frying pan, do not use abrasive objects such as a knife or even a stainless steel fork. However, you can use bioplastic sporks or wooden cutlery. To clean it, use the yellow side of the sponge and not the green scrubbing side. A microfiber cloth can also do the trick.
Stainless steel frying pans for hiking and camping work on all types of stoves (wood, alcohol, gas...). You can also use them on a campfire.
