Pretty nice pan. At this point I don't think I could replace my pan if I wanted too. It's become as non stick as any pan I've ever used. I'm also not sure I could cook eggs that nice at home let alone over a canister stove, great job. Thanks for sharing Mark
Your pan is getting lots of use for sure. Non-stick is not all that important as long as you put a bit of oil in the pan and keep the temperatures down. Thanks for commenting Steve
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Like those old asbestos lab pads. I made a large diffuser by cutting the bottom off a cast aluminum pot. It works well with my big carbon steel skillet.
That hot skillet hovering right over the butane can is worrisome. I would lay a silicone pad over the can. I love Fire Maple products. That said I have burned Neem leaves in my SS Fire Maple teapot twice. What a stink it made in the house. It took a lot of scrubbing to clean off that burned on material. It's definitely good quality to be usable again after such a burned on mess.
nice review the FMS-116T has a very fine simmer fry pan hack.. use the cut off top of a tin can to use as a heat defuser which then allows you to spread the heat and bring down the pan temperature I have a can opener that cuts the side of the can and leves the ridge, makes it less slippy on the stove
Great video as usual. I have and love that pan, but don't know if it's under the "Feast" banner. Just want to add, that although there are so many great little stoves, including the one here, after too many near pot topples, I've sworn off the three support arm varieties. I go for Soto Windmaster types. Happy holidays!
I have tried kitchen heat diffusers and a few experimental ones for the woods. I have not found anything I am really happy with yet. I will likely make a video on it at some point. Thanks for commenting
G'day Mark, up front, I am appreciating more and more, a higher walled pan, even at home, cuts down on sideways splatter somewhat, .... but mainly for versatility, though you do sacrifice a bit of accessibility with flat utensils, unless you come in from the other side, i.e. go over the whole diameter, if that makes sense.. Reckon I could control it over coals, (I do think thats mandatory away from base camp), and I do dig the handle design, but there are a few provisos on this one. Cheers Duke. P.S. yep with ya mate; oil, butter or ghee makes all the difference, dont need much at all, just enough to cover the surface when melted. In fairness, pure grilling not so much, but even then, doesnt hurt IMO ; )
Interesting pan. I’d be curious about your thoughts on the new Pathfinder carbon steel pan. It has a folding handle and the nonstick coating is a nitride bonded to the metal, metal utensils will not damage it. The first batch of them are due to ship by the end of December
I like carbon steel. The SRO pan looks good and reasonably priced. It does look a bit lightweight which means having to be careful not to overheat and burn food. Will require lots of care to keep seasoned and preventing rust. Thanks for commenting
@ from what I gather the nitride coating requires no seasoning and stays nonstick. It also has a heavier bottom thickness and is suitable for open fire cooking. I have one coming so will find out.
Teflon, even if they claim it's better, will always be total no go for me - why ever choose it when there are plenty great ceramic alternatives? Not just for me, but production of Teflon is often problematic for factory workers as well.
@@MarkYoungBushcraftIn my experience, ceramic coatings are waaaay too slippery at first, making one chase their eggs around with the spatula to try and flip them, and they tend to lose the non-stick properties MUCH quicker than a good teflon. Treat a teflon properly (don't overheat, handwash only, no sharp implements), and it's safe and lasts a good long time.
That's a nice pan! Looks like it would be a nice piece to take camping. It goes nice with that stove too. Thanks for the review, Mark. I enjoyed it!
Most welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting

I carry an aluminum disk in my kitchen box to use as a heat spreader. Great for skillets, but also useful for sauces to cut down on burning.
I have been trying a few different heat diffusers. Right now, I am trying ceramic on mesh meant for lab use. Thanks for commenting

@@northwind7409 I found a tiny cast iron frypan sold for making single cookies. Cut the handle off and used it. Works great but a bit heavy

I agree. Fire Maple make high-value products. Thanks for commenting
Nice job on the breakfast Mark
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
nice review
the FMS-116T has a very fine simmer
fry pan hack.. use the cut off top of a tin can to use as a heat defuser which then allows you to spread the heat and bring down the pan temperature

Right on. A heat diffuser is a great addition. I am working on a video that about them and your hack will be included. Thanks for commenting

It has worked well for me so far. Thanks for commenting
another nice video THANKS have you ever tried a heat diffuser like you would use on your kitchen stove?

HI Duke. I do like this pan for its lighter weight but use the FM Antarcti SS pan more often when I can have a fire. Thanks for commenting
Good review Mark, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
Thanks for commenting Michael
The sputtering also might be just a little air in the line. Could be a gew things. All good. Nice convienent setup and Good weather there!
It was nice that day. Now, not so much. Thanks for commenting

I prefer ceramic for non-stick myself. Thanks for commenting
