Product Description
Keith Titanium frying pans are ideal for backpackers, climbers, and hikers who count every packed ounce. Both pans are made of titanium, which is known to be as strong as steel but 45 percent lighter Read More
I just realized... did the July 2018 drop for this go sideways? I joined, and have the email confirmation, but never heard about the drop closing and never received the pans.
While the lightest 8'' stainless steel pan still weighs 11 ounces, this 8'' titanium pan merely weighs 6 ounces. For camping and short distance hiking, this should be okay for fish, eggs, and the like.
For comparison, a Toaks 142mm titanium pan weighs 2.5 ounces; the 137mm pan is 2.1 ounces. Frying eggs might be more difficult on the Toaks pans since I suspect they are thinner; I'll test this with my gas stove within the next month.
Anyways, here are the weights of the Keith Titanium (uncoated) pan that I've purchased via AliExpress. I could've saved 18% via Massdrop....
Pan only: 172 grams / 6.07 oz
Pan with stuff sack: 193 grams / 6.81 oz
EDIT: As others have mentioned, it is bewildering that this pan is a whopping 17% heavier than the manufacturer's listed weight of 147 grams (5.19 oz). Massdrop's listed weight of 128 grams (4.52 oz) must reflect an older model....
W8lkinUSAI've just cooked bacon, onions, and over easy eggs (in that order, but was more like medium due to learning curve with Titanium) on this 8'' Keith Ti pan using the Coleman Sportster 433 stove. It came out well, but I should have taken pictures.
EDIT: Due to its large diameter, I had to maneuver the pan every now and then to evenly cook the eggs. Though not terrible, caution should be exercised since stability isn't the greatest when using the Coleman stove.
I'll cook with the Toaks 145mm next time, but fear its 6'' size is too small for similar work. I'll also get pictures next time.
CalaverasgrandeThis 8'' pan is barely large enough for 2 persons, but simultaneously using two or three of these pans might work. A 10'' titanium fry pan would be more beneficial (if it were even made).
Make sure you've got a wide burner or a fire for this. Titanium does not spread heat well and you will get hot spots. Tried to do pancakes in this over a medium sized camping burner and it was an embarrassing failure. Frying fish on the same burner worked because the oil dispersed the heat enough, but it would have been better in something else like a thin stainless pan (not sure). ALSO BE SURE YOU USE THE SPREADER LOCK. My friend didn't push it up all the way and dumped a bunch of food while camping. Even with the spreader lock pushed all the way up, I can unhook the handle by pushing hard enough. Be careful!
