Interesting results. All who have camped with me can attest to the fact that I enjoy making elaborate, and thus often rough on the cookware, meals. I do tend to take really good care of the cooking surfaces of the pots and pan though. I put a plastic bag between the surfaces of the nested pots, and everything that is nested inside is either plastic, or covered in plastic. My main stove is also a Trangia, which I am sure is not as hot as some other stoves, so possibly your stove is hotter and may cause the teflon breakdown. -Patrick At 7:48 PM +0200 10/25/01, Warwick Carter wrote: >Personaly I am not a big fan of non stick camp ware.
