Looks like a sturdy little pan! One tip for making it relatively stick free is to do the mercury ball test with a drop of water. It’s quicker to go look it up on Google than me trying to explain it here. I was a little skeptical, but ever since I’ve learned that trick I’ve never had anything stick to my stainless steel pans. It’s also quite mesmerizing watching the little droplets of water join together to form one ball then roll around on the pan… It’s my daughters’ favourite part!
I have a pan that has a similar bottom, it definitely distributes the heat very well. I'm disappointed that you didn't cook anything with it, because I'm hungry.......😘😁✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
Good review. I have the Stanley Outdoors fry pan which is about the same size and has a similar bottom. I've had the Stanley for a few years, but if I were shopping for one now I would probably go with the Firemaple.
G'day Mark, I'm with ya, the perfect unit in terms of design, materials and dimensions. With the high sides, I reckon it'd work for MREs too, if that's your thing, probably negate the need for a pot altogether and as you mentioned so easy to clean in comparison. Dig the inclusion of the pie dish, though would be nice to have a factory fitted one with a lip like a saucepan lid IMO, just to prevent any sliding off while in use. Cheers Duke.
good, thoughtful review as always - not like I need another pan but the cost is not too horrible to add to the lineup. thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I don't have a Stanley pan but based on their listing, it would appear the Fire Maple is a bit bigger, has a pour spout the Stanley does not, and the handle folds the opposite way. The Stanley has a plastic lid. Thanks for commenting
No need in my opinion as hard anodised aluminium fills that role, it’s very good as a frying pan compared to titanium. Trangia have the Duossal pans which are aluminium exterior and stainless interior but not that thick.
Nice fry pan, but i don´t like the handle closing to upside, it should close to downside, because you can´t build a cook set to fix inside this fry pan with that handle. BTW it could if that handle was removed.
@@Semeion7 Double checked. Not as easy as I thought. Would take some modifications. I must have been thinking of another pan. Worth suggesting to Fire Maple though

Yes, good tip. Having the pan at the right heat makes a big difference. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for sharing this product. It’s the size of one I saw on line but costs less.
Good to know. Thanks for commenting
Thanks Mark, these small frypans are very handy while backpacking.
It is a most useful size unless cooking big meals. Thanks for commenting

Sorry, tried to keep the video short. It has appeared in a few other videos though. Thanks for commenting

They are similar in many ways. Thanks for commenting
Such a great frying pan, good review Mark 👍🍳
So good, especially for the price. Thanks for commenting Wade

I agree, an improved version of the pie pan to fit a bit better and still nest would be cool. Thanks for commenting Duke
Great Price For The Quality, Thanks For This, Mark ! ATB T God Bless

This was the one product from Firemaple I wasn't sure about purchasing. Now I am curious. Can't wait to see the videos where you cook with it.
I have a few videos that show using it already with more to come. It is my first choice pan. Thanks for commenting

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
Nice heat spreading base and the spout would be useful.
Could be used in Trangia if one uses the pot stand.
Yes, the triangular pot support for the Trangia set would work. Thanks for commenting
Looks like a nice pan. Will you ever do a review containing this pan and different pans comparing them and their benefits?
Yes, I an planning a video on how to keep foods from sticking and will compare the types of pans then. Thanks for commenting
Good review Mark , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks for watching!
How does it compare to the Stanley fry pan? Specs seem similar. Thanks Mark!
I don't have a Stanley pan but based on their listing, it would appear the Fire Maple is a bit bigger, has a pour spout the Stanley does not, and the handle folds the opposite way. The Stanley has a plastic lid. Thanks for commenting
Nice pan, I wonder why no one seems to make a titanium pan with aluminum cladding , feels like a missed opportunity
Good question! Thanks for commenting

Trangia have the Duossal pans which are aluminium exterior and stainless interior but not that thick.
Hi Mark, your video prompted me to purchase this fry pan. Could you tell me where you you sourced the stuff sack?
Hi Steve. You should receive a stuff sack with it. Thanks for commenting
Something I learned from Jeff Smith The Frugal Gourmet "Hot pan - cold oil - food won't stick."
Interesting. I find it works for me to heat the pan, then heat the oil to match the food. Thanks for commenting
Wasn’t he a pedophile?
Nice fry pan, but i don´t like the handle closing to upside, it should close to downside, because you can´t build a cook set to fix inside this fry pan with that handle. BTW it could if that handle was removed.
Yes, good point and as you say, the handle can be removed. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft easily removable?

good video, great pan.
Are there any othe camp fry pans that feature a pour spout?
I took a quick look and did not see any. Thanks for commenting
Thanks, Mark. I was looking to get one of those. 👍🙂🏕️
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
