I need to replace my camping set of pans. The ones I have, which are now old and scratched and manky, all fitted into each other which is perfect space wise. But they are a bit small as I'm now cooking for 4+. I need a bigger pan to boil pasta for a start. Can anyone recommend and good set please.
Like everything, there are a billion options out there and I've no idea what are any good.
Cheers!

I am assuming you are camping with a car and not backpacking.
I use the stainless steel pots and pans I have in my kitchen.
If space is a problem when loading you can take the handles off to stack them. (Unscrew them, don't forget to take the screwdriver)
The pans sold specifically for camping are made with thinner mettle so can burn the contents more Easley .

I use one of the silicone collapsing ones. They have a proper steel base, so don’t burn like thin ‘camping sets’ and squash down flat. Some are v expensive, I bought my Gelert ones reduced in Spirts Direct.

I'm in a car but space is still tight. Also I like having a box just for my camping stuff ready to go so I don't need to empty out the kitchen!
Thank you both.
I'll check gelert stuff. Cheers!

I've got a really good set that stack into a fairly small box. They work with induction hobs too, if you ever decide to get one of those

We bought a normal non stick wok (Tefal) which is great for cooking the pasta sauce part, or warming waffles/bagels at breakfast. We use trangia titanium for our pasta type pans as these are non stick. These days we get by with one big trangia pan and the wok for most meals (high sides of the wok give great capacity). We used the wok to cook 4 salmon fillets this holiday and it washed up a dream after.

I have a fab outwell set that is sadly discontinued. Actually bought the newer set a couple of years ago but the handles were crap so I sent it back and found an old set on eBay. 3 pans that fit inside one another and the kids can be used as frying pans. With a universal handle. Also looking for recommendations for when these die!

Tefal Ingenio all nest together, the detachable handles are really strong and they are so easy to clean.
We habe a set for the kitchen and one for the Motorhome as they all store inside the small oven.
