Camping and hiking cuisine
The Camping Cooking page brings together the gear for cooking and eating while hiking and camping: titanium and aluminium cook sets, Snow Peak cups and sporks, compact and lightweight.
Eat well while camping without weighing down your bag.
Choosing the material
Titanium is the lightweight hiker's favourite: very light, it is corrosion-resistant, doesn't leave any metallic taste, and lasts a lifetime. It conducts heat less well, which makes it ideal for boiling water, but not as good for simmering. Aluminium, like that of the set Snow Peak Compact, distributes heat better and is suitable for real cooking, at a slightly heavier weight and a gentler price.
Camping on site
Camping also includes:
- Tents.
- Sleeping bags.
- Furniture, folding tables and chairs.
- Lighting.
All the gear is gathered on the camping page.
Snow Peak
Snow Peak is a Japanese brand of outdoor gear, known for the finish of its pots and titanium utensils. Its cooking sets nest inside each other to take up a minimum of space in the sac. The titanium cup, with folding handles, also serves as a small pot on the stove. The spork, long or short, replaces knife and fork; the long version reaches the bottom of freeze-dried meal pouches.
Getting well equipped
For a solo hiker, a pot and a cup are enough; for two or more, a nesting set, with lid and handles. Choose the size based on the number of people and the type of meal: boiling water for a freeze-dried dish or cooking properly. Rinse your pot with hot water after each meal and let it dry before storing. A stove and a gas cartridge complete the camping kitchen.
Good deals
Good bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24 hours are prepared and sent in 24 hours. The year's highlights follow a stable order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and back-to-school.
Frequently Asked Questions
Titanium or aluminium: which material to choose?
Titanium is the lightest and most durable, ideal for boiling water while hiking. Aluminium distributes heat better and is suitable for real cooking, at a slightly higher weight.
Which utensils to take on a camping trip?
A pot with a lid, a cup, and a spork are enough for most outings. Choose nesting pieces to save space in the sac, and bring a backup lighter.
How to clean your pot while hiking?
Scrape off leftovers, then rinse with a bit of hot water and a drop of biodegradable soap, away from watercourses. Dry the pot well before storing it to avoid smells.
Why choose a titanium cup?
A titanium cup weighs almost nothing and can go directly over the fire to heat a drink. It doesn't retain any metallic taste; a double-walled model prevents burning your lips.
How to boil water faster while camping?
Always put a lid on the pot and shield the flame from the wind with a windbreak. A wide pot with a thin bottom heats up faster, and starting with warm water speeds up boiling.
