The Titanium Cookware range by Trailmate Gun City Ltd
Reviewed by Sam The Trap Man
Cooking in the back country can be a little tricky. We all want a pan, a plate and a cup that is compact and lightweight, but also performs well.
I have always got by with clunky and heavy enamel plates and frypans in the bush, but admit to being envious of folks in the hut with their compact lightweight gear. Recently I finally made the switch to titanium with a set from Gun City.
Here’s what I like:
Titanium is super strong and won’t bend out of shape. I have bashed and crashed this set of cookware around the scrub with me for the last three months and they are still as good as new, not bent, not dented, not scratched. This was a real surprise because I am rough on gear and the few lightweight cooking kits I have tried in the past bent out of shape real fast.
Titanium is incredibly lightweight which means I can carry more food and less cookware. (Pan 136g, cutlery 50g, plate 62g, cup 64g)
The cup has a lid which is an excellent design feature as it prevents me spilling water or soup on uneven ground or when carrying water up from the creek. When it is stored in its mesh carry bag the cup can also act as a perfect capsule to carry pikopiko, berries etc foraged on the way.
Each component comes with its own carry bag which helps to keep lids secure.
The frypan has a ceramic non-stick coating making it super easy to clean.
When the pan and cup are empty they are just the right size to store butter, bacon etc, keeping them cool and protected.
The handles don’t get too hot when you are cooking which is a bonus.
