What kinds of foods can (and cannot) be cooked in a Frontier Collapsible Pot or Frontier Kettle?

Frontier Collapsible Pots and Kettles are not designed for frying or sautéing, but that doesn’t mean they’re limited to boiling water for freeze dried food. They’re versatile enough for a wide range of camp meals –  just follow a few simple precautions.
 

Great options for your Frontier Collapsible Pot or Kettle

You can safely cook or heat:

• Pasta
• Rice – Turn off the heat a few minutes before it’s done. The remaining heat will finish the cooking process without risking damage to the pot base.
• Curry – Note that saffron may lightly stain the silicone sidewalls.
• Soup or stews
• Couscous – As with rice, turn off the heat early to prevent overheating.
• Chili – Tomato-based sauces may stain the silicone.
• Spaghetti sauce – Same note on staining.
• Oatmeal or porridge

Avoid cooking the following

Do not use your Frontier Collapsible Pot or Kettle for:

• Frying or sautéing – Cooking oils can reach temperatures high enough to damage the bond between the aluminum base and silicone sidewalls.
• Reheating solid foods – Without water to regulate temperature, the base can overheat and separate from the sidewalls.
