[pct-l] Ultralight Fry Pan

[Gail Van Velzer]

I have a Black lite pan.  It uses the same handle clamp that I have for the 
rest of my cookset.  It just happens to fit outside my existing kit.  I like 
to cook gourmet on the trail and there are two of us, so the extra weight is 
negligible.  I can also fit it into a cozy to warm other things.  Never had 
a problem with the coating.  As far at titanium, it's good for boiling 
water, but the heat transfer is uneven and it stinks for cooking anything, 
especially frying.
Golly
