There are times when heating up a kettle full of water in order to rehydrate freeze-dried food in a pouch is warranted. Perhaps you’re climbing or backpacking and need to keep things extremely light in weight. Then, there are other times you can bring the full weight of your outdoor kitchen to bear in order to impress your campsite mates and your own taste buds with your culinary prowess.

For those times, don’t skimp.

Finex Cast-Iron Cookware

There are plenty of kitchen tools available that are made to be lightweight and packable. While we love those items, there are some cooking implements that are best left to their full-sized brethren. In this case, we’re talking about castiron cookware. There’s no way around it: Cast iron is a weighty material, and if you’re going to bring one to use during your backwoods adventure, you might as well enjoy the best there is to offer.
