I used to be a die-hard Jetboil Sol Ti user but have recently switched to the MSR Windburner for its incredible performance in wind.
For longer, easier expeditions, where I can afford a few extra ounces for some added long term comfort, I really like bringing a fry pan. My staples for fried meals include a variety of spam dishes, tortilla dishes, trout, fried pasta, and fried bagel dishes. I usually bring my Alpine Fry Bake and mate it to the little Jetboil adapter. But this is kind of a heavy solution for frying.
I’m wondering if anyone has experience with the MSR Windburner Fry Pan? I’m contemplating bringing this on my upcoming trip in the Sierra next week.
What are your favorite fried food recipes?
Mine:
* Fried cheesy bagels – bagel halves fried with cheese, salami, and spices
* Trout – breaded in cornmeal and montreal steak;
* Brat & veggie stir fry – a traditional first night dish for me.
I usually use the little coconut oil packets for frying.
Any nuances with the Windburner / fry pan system I should be aware of?
What do you use for a lid?
