The outer pot from Trangia’s 27 Small storm cooker, sold on its own in hardanodized aluminum. Buy one to replace a pot you have burned through or lost, or to change the material of a set you already own — a Duossal pot in an otherwise Ultralight set is a common and sensible upgrade.

No lid is included, and Trangia do not mention one. The matching lid is a separate item.

One note on how we know which material this is. Trangia sell these saucepans as a single product with a material dropdown, and their page prints no article number and no weight against the individual material variants — the weights above come from Trangia’s own published Weight & Size chart, matched by article number. The material-to-article mapping is corroborated by the distributor’s own naming, by the fact that the coated and clad versions weigh more in Trangia’s chart exactly as you would expect, and by several independent retailers. We are showing you that reasoning rather than presenting it as a line off a spec sheet.

Trangia’s four materials, and which one you want

This is the choice that actually matters when you buy Trangia cookware, so here it is in their own terms:

• UL — Ultralight. Aluminum alloy 5005, which Trangia says is “50 percent stronger than regular aluminum.” Lightest, conducts heat best, cheapest. Trangia’s own caution: “soft material, prone to denting.”
• HA — Hardanodized. A surface treatment on the same aluminum that makes it hard and scratch-resistant. The selling point is Trangia’s own: it weighs the same as UL, because “the treatment penetrates the material.” Easier to clean. It is still an aluminum cooking surface.
• NS — Non-stick. UL aluminum discs with a coating. Easiest to clean, least durable surface. Wooden or plastic utensils only, no steel wool, and Trangia say outright that “the frying pan may need to be replaced from time to time.”
• DS — Duossal 2.0. A laminate of aluminum and stainless pressed together — 0.8 mm total, of which 0.3 mm is the stainless interior. Heaviest and dearest. It is the one to buy if you cook acidic or salty food, because stainless, not aluminum, is what touches your dinner.

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.

25 Large or 27 Small — which system is this for?

Trangia build two sizes and the parts are not interchangeable:

• 25 Large — 3–4 people. Packs to Ø220 × 105 mm. 1.5 L inner and 1.75 L outer saucepans, Ø220 mm frypan, 68 cm strap.
• 27 Small — 1–2 people. Packs to Ø185 × 100 mm. Two 1 L saucepans that nest one inside the other, Ø180 mm frypan, 61 cm strap.

A 27 pot will not serve a 25 system and the windshields are different diameters. Check which stove you own before you order a part for it.

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.
