Anyone who has cooked on a gas camping stove has likely experienced food burning at the bottom of the pot. This is due to the narrow and intense flame, which fails to spread heat evenly. This issue is especially noticeable with titanium or stainless steel cookware, as these materials have poor thermal conductivity.
Aluminum offers better heat distribution but is not ideal for cooking due to its potential to degrade vitamins. The solution is to use aluminum cookware with a protective coating or, even better, cookware with a built-in heat distribution system such as FluxRing® by JETBOIL®.
The FluxRing® system helps avoid overheating in one spot, ensuring quicker and more efficient cooking while conserving gas. This technology is a popular choice for demanding outdoor users and expedition teams alike.
