The lid Trangia make for their saucepans — the one that actually exists, as opposed to using the frypan as a lid, which Trangia nowhere suggest you do. It fits all 1 L inner and outer saucepans used with a Trangia 27 Small stove.

A lid is worth more than it looks on a spirit burner: it cuts boil times materially, which means less fuel carried.

A small inconsistency on Trangia’s page: the specification says it fits the 27 Small stove, while the description says it fits “all” saucepans of that size. Those are nearly the same statement; we have given you both.

Looking after the non-stick

Wooden or plastic utensils only. No steel wool, no Scotch-Brite. Do not overheat it and never leave it empty on the burner. Trangia suggest oiling it lightly before first use, and they are honest that “the frying pan may need to be replaced from time to time” — a coating is a wear part.

About the coating, and why we are not going to tell you it is PFAS-free. Trangia describe their non-stick as “a type of PTFE.” Elsewhere on their own site they also describe it as “PFAS-free and PFOA-free… its main component is PTFE.” PTFE is a PFAS under the usual definition, so those two statements cannot both be right as written. We are publishing the part they are consistent about — it is a PTFE-type non-stick coating — and saying nothing about PFAS in either direction. No brand name for the coating is published anywhere. If this decides the purchase for you, ask us and we will put it to Trangia in writing.

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. No steel wool and no scouring pads on this one — it is coated.

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.
