What pots and pans do you keep in your van?

[vanagonjr]

Mine's a mish-mash of camp pans (now) considered too heavy for backpacking, Salvation Army finds, cast-offs from the kitchen and a large enamel camp pot.

Basically, everything that is free, or nearly so.

Lots of pots and pans have come and gone over these past years. Trying to reduce the volume of stuff brought with us and the inevitable "where did I put that"!

So out with just about every pot that I have used for the last 10+ years and in with a new set from Primus.
These are not inexpensive but I found one site on clearance. https://www.nrs.com/primus-campfire-cook-set-large/prap

I bought a square fry pan from GSI a few years back and don't know how I lived without it all these years.
So much easier to get a hold of things with a wall to grab them. Also got rid of the large griddles and got a 12" square reversible that I have used for a few years.

For grilling we picked up this UCO Flat Pack grill that came in a pouch that we keep under the bench.

Love this Dragonfly drawer organizer, so much easier getting out what you need.

Last but not least is The Hawkins 1.5L pressure cooker. Tried and true for so many dishes, it was the perfect size for our Westy.

Nice set up Tim! I might actually buy one of these. While I like everything to have two functions if possible, a small T-pot is great and convenient for boiling water, although I tend to use it only back packing.

UPDATE:
These BugABoo pots are great! They have withstood the test of time.
My Brother and his Wife have a set from about the same time period.
They are in their later 70's and have been camping for a long long long time.
These are the best pots they've ever had.
Anytime the opportunity arises where camping gear is gift worthy, these pots are their "Go To" gift.

we like our bugaboo but the plastic lids have melted when (accidentally) used on the pot/pan while cooking.. it's really a shame that they didn't use plastic capable of boiling pasta water on the pot it's designed to fit..

I may jump into this stainless set, looks like they have stainless lids.

another thing l did, to save a little space on board, was to use the ignitors from old dometic fridges to light the stove, we don't need to look for lighters any more.
although l guess one would still be needed to light a grill outside the van.
