Thread: tefal ingenio - nesting pots and pans with removable handle

Yes we bought these in Sydney on our trip around Australia. Really good cookware. The only downside is the glass lids but they survived the following 10 weeks on the road in the Kamper's kitchen. This included some major corrugated roads including driving back in to Gove.

We got them heavily reduced at Myer (I think it was about 60% off). The handles are excellent. We have the fry pan, wok and 3 sauce pans. The fact that the saucepan lid handle comes off and there is no protuding handles means storage is excellent. The heat retention for cooking is also fantastic as they have a very solid base.

We are very pleased with them.

If you want I can post pictures.

I am also looking at this set
NESTING BILLY CAN COOKING SET CAMPING POTS PANS STOVE - eBay, Cooking Supplies, Camping, Sporting Goods. (end time 29-Nov-09 05:10:36 AEDST)
The postage to Australia is about GBP14

if you bought 2 or 3 would the postage be about the same??

Oh crap, forgot to get the pictures. Rugby's on in an hours time so won't be tonight.

agreed on all counts NM...

Regarding the ones from the UK - I've had a full set of them for years - IMHO, not bad on a stove, horrible on a fire. The folding handle is great for storage, good for a pot lid but pathetic as a frypan. Also the aluminium is quite thin and deforms so the lids don't fit well after a few heat/cool cycles as a frypan... I use em still when hiking as they are lightweight and I can fit my stove (MSR whisperlite internationale) and full eating kit inside the small pot with the lid... but for car camping they don't cut it...

Hi, I have a set of those - have been using them since we bought them from a small corner shop in Ipswitch in 1976.
I would describe them as being more suitable for bushwalking/motorcycle camping than vehicle camping where weight is not a problem. They are quite light weight, and can burn the food through the thin aluminium if you are not careful. We are looking for some new stainless gear for the new camper, but quite like el-cheapo Teflon pots for ease of cleaning.
cheers

just after some feedback before I *ahem* recommend them to the missus

Stackable Cookware - Cookware - Tefal Australia -

We have one similar (glass lid) ok for home use but may be a bit heavy/fragile for camping.

I hope to check out


at Whitworths at some time.
No idea of quality/feel as yet, but will get to the shop some time.
cheers
