Here in OZ we can get some cheap stainless steel pots and panikins .. made in thailand (like the MSR stuff .... probably the same factory). I've the 1 liter panikin - comes with a lid (to keep the embers out) and a long handle .. it is fine. Less than $aud20 some years ago. Branded on the back "Rocket".

I'd like a very small fry pan.. non stick .. rugged (has to be with me). Yet to find that..

that TEFAL Cookset link did not work above ..

Google picked up this
Tefal - Product Reviews - OUTDOORSmagic

....
Several frypans over at REI .. search on frypan REI: Outdoor Gear & Clothing for Skiing, Snowboarding, Snowshoeing, Camping, Hiking and More
Note they only post MSR products to the USA .. pitty - 160mm diameter is geting towards small ..

The 'open country' one is 200 mm
the 'Evernew' is ti .. 160 mm on special at $usd30 ... maybe. I'll do some measurements on the pack at home...

I do quite a bit of camping, have done since I was little (was a scout!) & bought some 'dixie' tins maybe about 10 years ago, three of them fold up into the largest one & you can pack your Knife fork etc in the middle of them - still have them, they are a bit bashed but are still fine to use, cook in them & eat out of them so no need for plates etc so saves on washing up!!

Our "cookset" consists of two stainless Revereware pots purchased at the Salvation Army for three bucks 15 years ago. The same make and brand 12" frypan complements the set and is rounded out by (and I am not joking) a double-bottom 3 quart Revereware rice cooker. We spent less than 20 bucks for all of them and have used them for all these years with no sign of wear. On the road through Africa we expect to do most of our cooking with local foods and the rice cooker doubles as a steamer for veggies. Good food to us, is an essential part of life and not being able to cook something for lack of a pot or pan is senseless. I think (lordy, stepping into the debate brown stuff now) that before going light on the cooking gear a person would be better served by cutting down on the non-essentials such as a laptop, GPS, portable televison, massage pack for the WOTB. We will experiment with all local foods and if we like it, we'll learn to cook it for ourselves. If we don't like it, we are well equipped to cook whatever shows up in a method that satisfies our tastes.

Optimus Crux
For the weekend jaunts I use the Optimus Crux (its tiny and folds up) & a small C100 Butane cylinder + an Optimus Terra Solo Cookset (a small pot with a small frying pan lid good for the egg banjo) + Folding Titanium Spork. (All of the above fits in the Cookset)





And a Tatonka GSI Mug, which can also go on the burner if needed (and it fits on the bottom of a 1L Nalgene - no problem).



For anything longer I'd go with a something that can burn multiple fuels i.e. Petrol, something like a whisperlite... + maybe a weekend Cookset (same sort of thing as the solo just bigger), if there is more just me that is. I don't bother with plates & cutlery.

i use the trangia too, my -27 has the gas burner option and boils .75 litres in no time at all because more of the heat is used, saving a lot of fuel.
ive got the non stick alloy pans which have been excellent so far, if they become a problem in the future i can always change them all trangia components are available singly. i only ever use one of the pans so i have a spare, so the system should last me a good many years and it was on offer at £60 inc gas burner, which should usually be £50 on its own
