    I looked at the tfal griddle before settling on an imusa nonstick pan.

    Its 4.3oz, 6"ID, 1" deep and maybe $5-10.

    Ive used it to cook eggs, bacon, gravy starter,pancakes…

    > you put one of the smooth round river rocks into the hot embers to pre-warm it

    I thought river rocks in fire could be dangerous?

    If you pick the right kind of river rocks, apparently it is not a problem.

    Besides, what could go wrong? Maybe the rock might crack open.

    Old thread. But, I really like the MSR flexlite. Ti fry pans just don't work. Flexlite is just thick enough. A little bit of foil is enough for a diffuser. The thing about the flexlite vs other frypans, is that you only need one pan because the high sides on the flexlite make it a good pot for boiling as well.

    I use a super light 6 oz 8″ titanium frying pan I got on Ali Express for $20 bucks. You can season titanium in the oven just like you would cast iron pan. Works perfectly and creates a non stick surface. (avocado oil rubbed on (THIN) with paper towel, place pan upside down in oven on 500 for an hour, repeat many times to build up a layer of non stick surface)

    I have experimented with different solutions to keep food from burning in titanium.

    The simplest, lightest, and best function I have found is a .1mm piece of copper foil.

    works perfectly, costs a few bucks:

    Now that IS a new and good idea. (Well, for me anyhow.)
    I wonder whether aluminium cooking foil might also work?
    Thank you.

    Cheers

    I’ve always used a cheap aluminum cake pan either round or square. The trick is finding a nice light one that is suitable for using with a potholder. They can be extremely light and work well with the caveat that the only thing I ever use mine for is fish.

    I have also, in a pinch, used aluminum foil to cook small fish directly on a stove. I wrapped them up completely in the foil and they came out great.
