Pan Cosy
Upper and lower halves together and pan inside.
Pan Cosy
Using my main cooking pot as the template I, in true Blue Peter, fashion crafted the two cosy halves.

Just a short post extolling the virtues of the pan cosy kit from BackPackingLight.co.uk

Although I m sure you can buy the material cheaper else where if you buy in bulk ( ie: large rolls from the insulation section of a DIY store ) for the amount a camper needs I think its good value. In my case I bought enough to make the container section and the lid section ( double thickness on base and top ) with a few sections left over for general wind breaks around the burner. That was two kits at £5.00 each. My Pan cosy design insulates the pan with a double layer all round.

So far all my cooking has been what I call BTTB cooking. Bring To The Boil.

Rice , Pasta, Porrige etc have all been well cooked by the BTTB and then leave in Pan Cosy for 15 to 20 minutes method.

So Gas consumption is absolutely minimal... means it goes further ... means I have to carry less ... goto be good!
