Trangia’s T-Cup does three jobs: it is the mug you drink from, the cup you measure with — it has milliliter graduations inside — and a small saucepan you can cook in. The handle folds, and the base is recessed so it sits stably.

Trangia note it is “extra stable when used together with our Trangia Mini or Triangle stove.”

🔴 Two things to be clear about. Trangia publish no 25 or 27 fitment for the T-Cup — it is a Micro and Mini item. And this is the plain version without a lid: Trangia sell a separate T-Cup-with-lid article and a hardanodized one, and a supplier photograph showing a lid does not belong on this listing.

Keep the plastic handle away from direct flame — Trangia’s own instruction, and the one way to ruin this 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.

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.
