Perfect for flipping pancakes in the backcountry, our hard-anodized Alpha Pans' advanced, PFOA-free, food grade nonstick surface provides excellent heat distribution and a durable, abrasion resistant finish. The unique low profile flip up handle with safety lock provides a secure and ergonomic grip when in use and folds away at the bottom for easy stacking and storage. Adding functional versatility to the Alpha series cook system, the graded sizing allows the Alpha Pans to nest inside each other for compact packing. The Alpha Pan 8" nests with the 3.7L Alpha Pot and perfectly complements the Alpha Cookset 2.2.
