Aluminum is a lightweight material known for its quick and even heat distribution. This prevents food from burning in the center of the frying pan. The hard surface also provides good protection against scratches and wear. Ultralight aluminum is 50% stronger than conventional aluminum, which means less material is needed in production, making the camping stoves lighter.

Non-stick is a coating that is particularly well-suited for frying with little or no fat. Nothing sticks, which also makes cleaning easier. Non-stick is somewhat more sensitive to scratches and wear, so it is recommended to use only plastic or wooden utensils. The coating, originally developed by NASA, exhibits high heat resistance and low friction.
