A dedicated kettle is the accessory that changes how a Trangia actually gets used in the morning. Water for coffee goes on while the pots stay clean and free for food, and a kettle pours without slopping down the side of the stove.

Trangia publish this as fitting all 25 Large stoves. One honesty note: they say “fits,” and they do not use the words “packs inside the closed stove” anywhere. The storm-cooker set pages list a kettle as included without saying where it stows. In practice this is the kettle for that stove.

One caution Trangia publishes and we are going to repeat. On bare and anodized aluminum: “avoid cooking and storing acidic or salty foods in aluminum vessels for extended periods of time,” and maintain the surface to prevent scratches “that may increase the risk of metal release.” Tomato sauce overnight is the thing to avoid. If that is how you cook, the Duossal version of this pan has a stainless interior and sidesteps it entirely.

About the plastic. The lid knob and the removable plastic cover will melt if they get near the flame or sustained high heat — Trangia say so themselves. Lift the kettle by the wire handle, and take the plastic cover off before it goes over a fire.

Care

Not dishwasher safe, and this is Trangia’s own position rather than ours: “the chemicals used in dishwasher detergent destroy the aluminum’s surface.” Hand wash with washing-up liquid and a brush or soft sponge. For stubborn residue Trangia permit steel wool or a scouring pad — on everything except non-stick.

Do not store food in the pots, and do not boil dry: Trangia warn that “without food or liquid, it can melt.” Keep plastic parts away from the flame.

Induction and oven use are not published by Trangia, for any of their cookware, so we are not going to claim either.
