Frontier and Detour Pots are not designed for use over an open fire. Here’s why:
- Handle damage:
- Both products use a Click-Safe handle with a nylon release tab.
- Exposure to campfire heat would melt the nylon, permanently damaging the handle and creating a potential injury risk if the mechanism is used afterward.
- Cookware damage:
- Frontier and Detour Collapsible Cookware have silicone rubber sidewalls that would be permanently damaged by direct flame or high campfire heat.
- Frontier and Detour Collapsible Cookware have silicone rubber sidewalls that would be permanently damaged by direct flame or high campfire heat.
- Soot buildup:
- Open fires may produce heavy soot, which can be oily depending on the wood used.
- This soot is extremely difficult to clean, especially from coated cookware.
Recommendation: If you want to cook over an open fire, use older stainless steel cookware without coatings – not Frontier or Detour pots.
