Camp cookware is commonly purchased in kits, but individual pieces can also often be found through most manufacturers. Titanium, stainless steel, aluminum and anodized aluminum are all good materials. Cooksets should generally weigh 5lbs or less depending on the size of the group. Short, broad pots with rounded bottoms and corners balance well on camp stoves, create even heat distribution and make cleanup easy. Snug fitting lids boil water faster and keep ash out of food, while handles or pot grippers allow for safe handling. Cooksets should be complemented by lightweight, durable utensils and dishes.
