A FlashPan Review

Today we took the FlashPan to our local park by the ocean. On the menu where grilled cheese sandwiches. We had packed our FlashPan picnic bag with nice fresh quarter inch cut sourdough bread, freshly grated cheddar cheese, salted butter and a few drinks.  Everything including the FlashPan fit perfectly in the picnic bag.

At a nice picnic table right by the water, we unloaded the FlashPan and laid out the bread and cheese for grilled cheese assembly.  We love the FlashPan because it’s so quick and easy to use.  The FlashPan Stove is always perfectly level with easy to adjust leveling legs.  Despite the steady breeze blowing in off the water, we quickly lit the fuel tablets and placed the bottom pan and lid on top of the fuel tray.  The design of the FlashPan fuel tray shields it from the breezes.

While the FlashPan heated up I assembled the grilled cheese sandwiches.  After about two minutes the pan was hot enough to place in the first two sandwiches.  I replace the lid to help the cheese melt.  After two minutes I flipped them and they were a beautiful golden brown on the bottom.  In another two minutes the grilled cheese sandwiches were done and we are ready for dinner.  The clean up is simple and very clean, all that needs to be done is to blow out the fuel tablets – just like blowing out a candle and they can be re-lit just like a candle too, and a quick wipe of the pan and the whole system can be packed away.  This definately gives us more time to relax and watch the boats go, see people flying kites and meet a few people walking their dogs along the shoreline… what a perfect way to spend an evening.

It’s our first ever camping stove that is self-contained and very clean.  We are able to quickly wipe it out and place it back in the bag.  This is something we’ve never been able to do with other camping stoves.
For grilled cheese sandwiches on the beach the FlashPan gets five out of five stars.
