open country non-stick pots

The one I purchased from Trail Designs is uncoated.

labeling can get confusing that one.

I'm remember looking into this before I bought one, pretty sure they are non-coated, unless they have changed.

…Trail Designs used to sell an Open Country non stick 3 cup pot and a hard anodized aluminum pot. Now its only the hard anodized aluminum pot.

I got the hard anodized pot and it is a tough coating but not non-stick, just "less stick".

** Maybe Open Country could put you in touch with a retailer for a non-stick pot.

BTW, speaking of non-stick, I got a ceramic coated (white coating) "one egg" fry pan from Wal Mart & cut off the handle. That fry pan precisely fits inside my TD Sidewinder and will stay put and not tip IF I have the two ti tent stakes inserted below it. Couldn't ask for a better fit.

" "one egg" fry pan from Wal Mart & cut off the handle. "

How do you move it on and off a hot stove?

The Open Country "non-stick" pot has a xylan coating, which is basically a generic form of a teflon coating.

As mentioned above, there is only one hard anodized version of the open country pots, and it is a non-baled variety sold by Trail Designs and marketed specifically as hard anodized.

Hope that helps.

the non stick versions that AGG used to sell had a non teflon coating which is easily scratched.
As opposed to the more readily available hard anodized.

I have had the non stick 3 cup and 2 quart for 7 years. still okay but a little battered looking.

thanks all for the feedback. Looks like the safe bet is that if it says "non stick" it is likely coated.

I did also note that four dog sells a hard anodized set.

Bob,

I use an aluminum pot gripper for my Sidewinder's mating 3 cup pot and the Wally Mart circumcised skillet.

Eric, who was the mohel for the skillet?

Yesterday I bought a 9" non-stick skillet for $6 at Wallymart. I unscrewed the handle, leaving only a little bracket still riveted to the skillet. The skillet now weighs about 7 ounces. The forceps I use for fishing grabs that little bracket just fine.
