The first thing you’ll want to do when using a set of cookware for camping is to remember to clean it as soon after use as you possibly can. Allowing food to stick to the pans can not only lessen the effectiveness of any non-stick coating, but it can also lead to microscopic pits or scratches that can lead to food contamination.
Also, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when it comes to how much heat to use, and what type. Some camping cookware is designed specifically for camping stoves, campfires, or alcohol burners. If you use something that the set wasn’t designed for, damage can occur.
