Know before you buy
Yes, the Quechua 500 is compatible with induction heat sources, as well as gas and wood fires. This makes it a versatile choice whether you are cooking at a developed campsite or a more rustic location.
The set is designed to be highly compact. All 25 components, including the plates, mugs, and cutlery, nest inside the main pot, which measures 2.6 liters in capacity. It weighs 1645 grams in total, making it manageable for car camping trips.
The PTFE non-stick coating is designed to make cleanup easier in the field, but it requires care to maintain its longevity. We recommend using silicone or wooden utensils rather than metal ones to prevent scratching the surface.
Yes, the components are dishwasher safe. This makes cleaning up after your trip significantly easier compared to cookware that requires hand-washing only.
The handles are made from polyamide, a durable, heat-resistant material. However, you should always ensure the handles are positioned away from direct flames when cooking over a gas or wood stove to prevent damage.
No, this cookset is strictly for stovetop or campfire cooking. It is not suitable for use in microwaves or freezers.
