Please everyone from ounce-counting backpackers to gourmet camp chefs! We've gone to extremes to make sure this non-stick cookware is durable enough to survive countless adventures. Because unlike our competitors, each piece is fully formed then Hard Anodized before we coat it with not one, not two, but three layers of Extreme Nonstick coating for added durability. But don't just take our word for it…look at our cookware and see the difference for yourself. The Hard Anodization process alters & hardens the structure of the cookware surface, making it incredibly abrasion resistant. Twice as hard as Stainless Steel. Combines the best attributes of a very hard surface treatment with the quick-even heat transfer of aluminum.
