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…

I thought river rocks in fire could be dangerous?
Jan 7, 2014 at 11:30 pm #2061454If 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.

Jan 8, 2014 at 4:37 am #2061462Old 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.
May 28, 2020 at 7:17 pm #3649839I 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:

I wonder whether aluminium cooking foil might also work?
Thank you.Cheers
May 29, 2020 at 9:28 am #3649898I’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.
