Where plastic hides in camp cookware

Titanium, cast iron, enameled steel and bare aluminum pots all work over a fire. The plastic is on the parts you hold. Pot handles carry silicone sleeves or sit in a silicone grip, and lids have silicone tabs, nylon knobs or a plastic vent. Aluminum pots are hard-anodized, which is fine, or coated in PTFE, which is not. Enamelware should be vitreous, glass fired on steel, not a painted polymer coat. Sets ship in a nylon or mesh stuff sack, and the sack is in the box.

What to check before you buy

  1. The metal: titanium, cast iron, or bare or hard-anodized aluminum, or a PTFE nonstick?
  2. The handles: bare metal or wood, or silicone sleeves and grips?
  3. The lid: metal, or a silicone tab, nylon knob or plastic vent?
  4. The enamel: vitreous glass on steel, or a polymer coating?
  5. The carry bag in the box: cotton or canvas, or nylon and mesh?
  6. Utensils in the set: steel or wood, or nylon?
