Just have to find what works for your chef!

That's great advice!
I do the cooking too (hubby) - both at home & camping, & LOVE cast iron at home for many dishes, & would probably love them too if cooking over an open campfire, but we just don't do that often, what with the galley in the Westy & Avion. I'm trying to stay away from the added weight of C.I. in the trailers & wheezy VW Van ("Zero to 60 in 30 mins.!"
).
The C.I. Dutch Oven for campfire Cornbread is especially tasty, but I can do our traditional "Cherokee Cornbread" on a piece of bark with an even better smokey flavor!
(.... before the sarcastic comments start - it's not a joke, seriously)
I've also cooked on non-coated of both stainless steel & aluminum pans, which work fine if you use grease, butter, Pam, etc. - & have some of the aluminum camp set ones in the Westy, as well as the aluminum coffee pot in both Avion & Van.
So folks can really use whatever they prefer at home or camping, & I don't think anyone here is saying one or the other.
In my case, I was just hoping to find & asked the collective knowledge about an aluminum based & quality ceramic coated nesting set with folding/removable handles for our VW Westfalia Camper Van - & maybe we'd do them in our
1960 Avion & if we do get a vintage Eriba Puck or similar small Euro trailer to tow behind our smaller cars.
I don't want to see this topic turn into one of the debates, like they too often do with hitches or trucks vs. smaller TV!
Cheers!
