Camp Cookware – the Right Gear for Your Outdoor Kitchen

Good cookware makes the difference between a warm meal and a cold tin of beans. Whether you are solo trekking in the Alps, on a weekend tour with friends or family camping – Swiss-Sale.ch has the right cookware for every situation. Optimus from Sweden has been developing stoves and cookware since 1899 that takes up hardly any space in your pack yet performs reliably in the mountains.

Our selection includes compact solo cooking systems such as the Crux Lite Solo, efficient heat-exchanger sets like the Elektra FE and Crux Weekend HE, plus the spacious Terra Camp 4 for groups. The range is complemented by practical stainless steel cook sets from Kelly Kettle, perfect for use on the Kelly Kettle Hobo Stove or a conventional camp stove.

Buying Guide – Camp Cookware & Cooking Systems

Solo Cooking Systems

For solo travellers, integrated cooking systems like the Optimus Crux Lite Solo are ideal: burner, pot and windscreen form a compact unit that nests together and disappears into your pack. Weight stays minimal while cooking performance impresses.

Heat Exchanger Technology (HE)

Pots with an HE base (Heat Exchanger) use the flame up to 20 % more efficiently than conventional pots. This saves gas, shortens cooking time and is ideal for tours where every gas cartridge counts. The Elektra FE, Terra Weekend HE and Crux Weekend HE all use this technology.

Group Cook Sets

The Optimus Terra Camp 4 includes two pots and a frying pan – enough room for a hot meal for up to 4 people. All parts nest together and are held by a stuff sack.

Materials

Hard-anodized aluminium is the standard for quality camp cookware: light, scratch-resistant, corrosion-proof and evenly heat-conducting. For open fire or Hobo Stove use, the stainless steel cook sets from Kelly Kettle are particularly suitable – they are virtually indestructible.

Areas of Use

Camp cookware is used wherever a full kitchen is unavailable: on trekking tours in the mountains, while cycling, at the campsite, during hunting trips or in a bivvy. Light solo sets suit ultralight trekking, heat-exchanger systems suit multi-day tours with limited fuel, and group sets suit family outings and scout camps.

Tip: Choose your cookware by group size: for solo tours a 0.6 L pot is sufficient, for two people 0.95 L is ideal, and from 3 people a multi-pot set like the Terra Camp 4 pays off.

FAQ – Cooking Equipment for Camping & Trekking

What does HE mean on Optimus cookware?

HE stands for Heat Exchanger – a heat exchanger on the pot base. It uses the flame more efficiently so water boils faster and you save up to 20 % gas. Ideal for longer tours with limited fuel.

Can I use Optimus pots on an open fire?

Hard-anodized aluminium pots from Optimus are primarily optimised for gas stoves. For open fires and Hobo Stoves we recommend the stainless steel cook sets from Kelly Kettle, which are more robust against direct flame.

Which cook set suits 2 people?

For 2 people we recommend the Optimus Terra Weekend HE with 0.95 L capacity or the Optimus Crux Weekend HE as a complete cooking system with burner. Both offer enough volume for two servings.

Are the pots stackable?

Yes, all Optimus Terra and Crux sets are designed so that pots, burners and accessories nest inside each other. This minimises the pack size in your rucksack considerably.

What warranty does Optimus offer?

Optimus provides a manufacturer warranty on all products. Additionally, at Swiss-Sale.ch you benefit from the statutory 2-year Swiss warranty.
