Do you use anything special for cookware? Another Question

We stocked ours with cast iron, what we use at home and can be taken outside and used on any source of heat. For pans we use some old Revere wear, the ones with the copper coating. Other than that we added a wok and a pot along with an electric skillet. We use a Nu Wave oven for roasting and it doesn't need anymore than foil.

The pizza stone or unglazed tile goes on the metal shelf just above the burner. Just do not cover any of the holes.

Cast iron griddle, fits two burners on TT range. Cast iron skillet. Cast iron 12" and 8" Dutch ovens. Aluminum pots inherited from grandparents. Never have used the microwave; it's my bugproof storage area. Little oven works great. Percolator coffee pot. One nonstick aluminum skillet for eggs. One nonstick aluminum griddle for pancakes only. I do as much cooking on the campfire or with briquettes as possible. Nothing tastes as good as food grilled on a wood fire or coals.

I put mine on the bottom shelf. You don't want to cover the holes on the perimeter of the shelf. A 12" X 12" unglazed floor tile will generally fit this area perfectly. They're cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot.

I don't buy "sets" of cookware. I just have my large nonstick fry/sauté pan. I buy individual heavy stainless steel pots at Marshalls, TJ Max, etc. I like the ones that are deep but narrow for the 3 burner stove. They will last forever. I have my small Weber grill and bought the griddles that fits it. I use crock pot when I have power. This pretty much meets all my needs. Hint: Go to Lowes/Home depot and buy a unglazed tile to put in oven. This keeps stuff from burning on the bottom. Evens out the heat. Oh, forgot my iron skillets and dutch oven for campfire cooking.

I use regular pots and pans on the stove and in the oven. Put a pizza stone or unglazed tiles in the bottom of the oven to keep food from burning. Love my oven.

We cook outside. We have a campstove, and grill. I also have a cast iron griddle that can be laid on the campstove, or on the fire.
We also have a electric griddle, and toaster oven, for when we have electric

We just don't want all that cooking grease inside the TT.

That's a good point. I mostly wanted pots and pans for breakfast. I can't really think of any big meals that I would be doing inside for dinner. As long as the weather is nice, probably use the outside grill.

We also keep a pizza stone in the oven all the time. Supposedly evens out the heat from what I have read. Otherwise, all our cookware is orphan stuff from the house kitchen.
