Have you ever gone backpacking and caught a wild trout in a mountain lake and fried it in a pan for dinner? Me neither (I’ve always used sticks or foil), but with this ultra-light pan from Sea to Summit I aim to give fried trout a try soon. I can say it cooks up backcountry spam and taters like a champ, and even nailed a pan-fried medium-rare steak without sticking while cooking over a backpacking stove. The hard-anodized aluminum alloy material it’s made from boasts exceptional heat transfer. The removable, “click-safe” handle is a pretty sweet addition that ensures safe handling when sizzling hot without fear of it collapsing or giving out to the weight of a 16-oz. ribeye. Speaking of weight, the pan only weighs in at 13 ounces, so you’ll barely notice it in your pack. MSRP: $69.95. Seatosummit.com (Derrick Knowles)
