What type of coating has been chosen?
The PTFE Xylan+ coating by Whitford was selected for its good non-stick quality/resistance/price ratio. The items are PFOA-free and are therefore suitable for cooking food. Although the items are durable, it is best to avoid using with metal utensils to preserve the coating.
How do I clean the cooking set?
Before you use it for the first time, rinse each item three times. After using the items, wash them with warm soapy water and dry them before storing. All items are dishwasher safe. Washing the pots and pans by hand preserves the coating. Avoid abrasive sponges and sand.
What about the cutlery and the bowls?
The polyamide cutlery is lightweight and resistant to heat (100°C), knocks and deformation. Perfect for hiking, the cutlery is both practical and durable, and is free of Bisphenol A (BPA). However, be careful not to expose them directly to a flame to prevent them from melting
A few words about food from our design team:
"When out hiking, one of our passions is cooking. Even outside, you can cook much more than just pasta. And why not pick your food during the hike. Finally, it’s easy to cook and that's what we wanted to achieve with this cooking set: we wanted to make hikers' lives easier. Food taste different when you eat outside. We appreciate dishes differently."
What about the choice of materials?
We have chosen 18/8 stainless steel for its durability, resistance to corrosion, and food safety. To make up for its low conductivity, we’ve added a double aluminium base to better distribute heat. Result + heating efficiency and - gas consumed.
Our design team tells you the story of the MH500 cookset:
From the very beginning, we wanted to design a product that lets you take everything with you to cook and eat outside, while staying clean and practical to use.
What next? Many people are involved at each design stage, 3D modelling, tests with experienced and novice users, lots of emotion and finally, a product that makes us proud: a "turn-key" cooking set, simple to carry and use so that you can use it stress-free in the outdoors.
What cooking items are included in the set?
This set contains everything you need to cook for two people:
- 1 graduated saucepan with 1 folding handle;
- 1 frying pan with 1 folding, lockable handle;
- 1 lid / strainer;
- 1 place mat / wooden chopping board ;
- 1 carry case.
How do I store the kitchen set?
To optimise size and reduce noise, place cutlery on lid, then place mugs and bowls inside the saucepan. The place mat locks everything together and the cover makes it easy to transport, even when it’s dirty. And there's no need for patience – it's all done in seconds!
How do we test our products?
All our products undergo a series of laboratory and field tests to check their quality. This kitchen set has been tested for its anti-stick properties, as well as its mechanical, thermal and abrasion resistance.
