1 pot, 1 pan, 1 set of utensils per person living there.&nbsp; I eat out of my pot/pan directly, since I'm the only one eating, more than 1 person perhaps 1 plate/cup/etc per person.&nbsp; I think Bob talks about what kinds of pot/pans to get.&nbsp; I have non-stick (both), and a 1.5 quart pot, and a 10 or 12" pan.&nbsp; Both have lids.&nbsp; I think having lids and non-stick are wonderful.&nbsp; I agree about a can-opener, I have a military one, a P-38, I think they call it.&nbsp; It's a tiny little thing, works great!<br><br>Visitors, I make them bring their own utensils, plates, etc.<br><br>Wish you lots of successes!<br><br>With Love,<br>Tara

Same as Tara here but since I use ceramic and have a set I am bringing 2 pans unless someone wants one. Covers are must! Not just to keep splatter away but so you don't use much propane. Company?

&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; I use the Alpine nestable set made by MSR.&nbsp;&nbsp; They're all stainless and I have 2 plates, 2 small pots, 1 frying pan and tea/coffee pot.&nbsp; They all fit together and only take up a space of under 9" across and 5" tall.&nbsp; I found mine used on Ebay, but it looks like they are a bit pricey new.<br><br>http://www.amazon.com/MSR-Alpine-2-...1364948345&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=alpine+msr<br><br><br><br>&nbsp; I've also heard great things about the Magma brand nestable pot set.<br><br>http://www.amazon.com/Magma-Nestabl...colid=3JGC9CZHS1R30&amp;coliid=I1O82Q0UAMD5T1

I use my ceramic deep fry pan. Recommend! An old broken-in 19th century cast iron fry-pan is great for over camp fires, as well as slow cooking.

<p>1 pot and 1 fry pan is all that I need, I'm replacing my old ones with ceramic. I thought about getting cast iron but I think it would use more propane to get the pan hot enough for cooking. &nbsp;I like to use the better hand can openers or my swiss army knife can opener. The swiss army knife I've had for 20 years and still opens cans like it was new.</p>

My can opener by choice is the kind that crimps the lid open as apposed to cutting the lid off, it becomes a lid and I have seen people selling them for "hide your cash" cans at the flea 1-2 dollars each made by zylizz

Hey I had one those can openers, it was a good one. Don't know what happened to it.
