Good pans with frying pan lid?

then I say buy the Evernew one, I’m surprised anyone even makes what you’re asking after, tbh. Cut the handles off if you don’t want them. I can’t even find a place to buy the ECA404 you mention.

I’m also not sure about this clikstand thing. Can’t you just use a side-jet pressurizing stove and forget the stand altogether? Why don’t you buy the larger size windscreen if you want a big pot? You could also just use your sleeping pad as a windscreen instead of their ‘special’ one. You could also make your own stand by bending a coat hanger as described here or with flashing and your tent stakes like here.

I think there are lots of different (and lighter!) ways to approach your problem, other than just buying some obscure expensive pot. Good luck to you and I hope you find a solution that makes your trips more enjoyable.

BPL 1350 pot has a decent lid fry pan. Also the Snowpeak 1400 pot in either Alum or Titanium. you could try also the MSR alpine cook stuff the lids can work to fry stuff and there is a set with 1L, 1.5L and 3L pots with a separate handle.

I am used to travelling with the Trangia 25. When I go out travelling I usually go out for a month or more at a time, and there're certain commodities I'm not willing to forfeit; good food in this case. I like to cook from raw ingredients, and while I take weight into consideration, a 1 liter pot or similar doesn't cut it.

Some months ago I let my brother borrow my Trangia and it got stolen, so now I'm looking for a replacement, and since I'm at it, a lighter one. I did some hiking with a pop-can stove and a stand made with bicycle spokes, but after using the Trangia I came to appreciate its robustness. The clikstand is something quite similar while being lighter. I haven't bought it yet, so I'm open to suggestions, but I've done a fair amount of research and it's the one I like the best so far. Being able to use it inside a tent, and its stability are what I like best about it.

What I would like is a large pot where I can make pasta or stew for 2 or 3 (hence the >1.5liters requirement), a skillet or frying pan for sauces and the ocasional fish/steak, and ideally a 1 liter kettle, but I doubt I can find one that fits, and I can live without it. I could also use a regular pot and a separate frying pan, but all i've found are too big for the clikstand with the windscreen on.

Antigravitygear seems to have the ECA-404. The Clikstand has a windscreen that sits elevated on some metal hooks, and this allows proper air intake, so using a sleeping pad is not an ideal solution.
I know I'm not exactly lightweight. I've been gradually learning, optimizing and cutting down on weight, but my personal comfort point is way more heavy than what most of you carry.

Thanks for the response. Cheers.

Diego, good on you for cooking proper food while on the trail. I have a snow peak cook and save 2L pot which has a fairly flat lid plus a snap on plastic lid.

It is possible to use the Ti lid for frying steak etc, but it's a bit shallow for sauce making. The snap on lid is good for carrying your already cooked food to the next campsite for reheating. Maybe too big on diameter for your setup though, it's around 16cm and 225g complete.

I also want to be able to fry as well as boil. I've been experimenting with some GSI pans that have fry pan lids, and the Evernew DX stove set. I'm very impressed with the stability of pans on the DX stand. The clickstand I use has reasonable pot support as well, but having the circular support on the DX makes it pretty easy to avoid imbalance as you move the pot around while cooking. The titanium stove in the DX is a real blow torch: faster than almost any other Al stove I've seen. I am experimenting with a damper to reduce its output. Also, for me, I find that the very easy cleanup associated with the GSI pans, and the relatively small increase in weight over titanium fry pans (I have used the Evernew type Ti pans as well) make the GSI pans worth it. The GSI pans wipe clean easily, even after cooking messy foods. Even with a lot of care, I still sometimes have food stick on the Ti.

I have had the nonstick aluminum GSI bugaboo set (the old one) for years and years and have cooked about everything imaginable in it. Light for what it is and can handle frying, sauces, dutch oven, steaming. I have been really surprised by GSI!

It isn't the lightest but is affordable and a workhorse:
The GSI Backpackers set. Stripped down to the 2 Liter pot and fry pan lid with pot holder and you are good to go. The plastic lid is worth having along if you boil pasta. You can get it in 2 versions, the cheaper Bugaboo works just fine.

Here's an option for a big lightweight frypan you can cook a sauce in:

Lifeventure Ultra Lightweight Titanium Plate

7.5" diameter, 1.2" deep. 2.3oz with drawstring bag.

Pricey though!

Thanks for all the replies. The Evernew stove set looks very interesting, but I couldn't find any in-depth review; I wonder how well it works in the wind and how efficient the burner is.

GSI has some nice stuff I see. The bugaboo backpacker is too wide for the clikstand, though. It would do nicely with a wider windscreen or with a different stove.

Cheers.
