Today I decided to test out my new camp stove and a $12 non-stick pan I bought at the Coleman outlet over the weekend. Stove started right up and I put the pan on to pre-heat while I scrambled my eggs. While whipping the eggs, I noticed a sheen on the top of the pan that looked off, so I turned it over and saw this...
I was truly surprised because I thought the stove wouldn't be hot enough, so I bought a thinner camp pan. But here it was so hot it melted the damn thing. That was on medium heat. I'd hate to see what high would do.
I've never used a gas stove before, and always relied on fire. So, what did I do wrong? Buy the wrong pan? I figured since it was Coleman it would hold up. Did I put the heat too high? Help me out here guys with any common pitfalls with gas camp stoves that I should be aware of. Thanks.
