Love this skillet - but while cooking over open fire - the rubber handle melted on first use - so user error, I guess. be aware to place on fire selectively

Goog price, non-stick, not perfect stiff handle (not talking about long use), after 2 months use non-stick layer starting taking off by small areas, easy dents but light... if you armature it's good for you, but for long time use stainless or titanium best.

Anybody know if the lids for the Flex 3 & 4 will cover this skillet? Having a hard time finding out which lid fits over this, kinda crucial for baking. Thanks,

The smaller lid from the Flex 4 is slightly smaller than the skillet, but covers it without falling in if placed carefully.

Anybody use this skillet on a jet-boil? Curious if it worked out alright and if it had a hot spot. Thanks

The skillet works great and cleans easily. I stopped using my Jetboil for skillets and went with a MSR stove to get a better flame pattern. I now only use the Jetboil for water, soups and coffee.

Yeah, great skillet for sure, although I don't really use it as much as I used to. It'll work fine on the Jetboil, but the only real problem you'll have is that without a wider support, the skillet will be unstable. Also, with a Jetboil, the actual Jetboil kits are much more efficient with their stoves.

Will it work with the Reactor?

Best Answer Responded on

No - the Reactor's heat exchanger area is slightly domed. This won't fit on it. If you're using the Reactor, you have to stick with the 1.5 or 2.5 liter pots made specifically for the reactor. The integrated nature makes it more efficient, but less versatile.

That's unfortunate, but your answer was very helpful. Thank you.

Before I begin, I love this pan for what I do. It is incredibly light and the handle either folds or pops right off, which is convenient for packing this thing in tight places. While it is lightweight it is considerably strong. The nonstick is in fact nonstick! It is a novel idea when a company's product actually does what the company says it does. However, as much as love my pan, anyone looking to purchase this needs to be aware that it does not distribute heat like cast iron. This should be a no brainer, but it isn't for some. It is thin and if you are not heating it right it will focus all the heat into the center. It does not have heat rings like the GSI frying pan: bare bottom pan. And because it is aluminum, anodized or not, if you get this thing to hot it will start sagging where the most heat is. this can result in the nonstick coming off or a lopsided pan. Things to consider. For the serious backpacker who is looking for a frying pan, this is your product: super light, durable, MSR! I am sold on MSR products, whoever does their quality assurance is my hero.

When used with a burner, will the heat spread evenly or will there be ultra hotspot in the middle?

It really depends on your stove. It will be a little hot in the middle if you use something like the MSR Pocket Rocket, but you can mitigate this by simply turning the gas flow down. The Pocket Rocket is meant for boiling water, but I have had success using it to cook in a skillet. You shouldn't need to have your stove on full flow when using a skillet anyways. If you pair this with something like the SuperFly or WindPro which disperses the flame a bit more, then you would likely have more success in avoiding hot spots.

The other great thing about this fry pan is that it's, first, aluminum which is the best material (based on weight vs. heat distribution) for an even heat cooking surface. It's also hard anodized which also helps in its heat distribution. The quality of these materials is very high-end.

Finally the teflon coating is one of the more durable available making sure the stuff your cooking doesn't stick, and then cleans up quickly.

I agree with Andrew in that it also depends highly on the stove. If you get a good one (my recommendation is the WindPro or DragonFly) you will be able to cook anything that you do on your home stove.

I'll second Jason's recommendation on the hard anodized aluminum with the non stick coating. I just used one last weekend to cook up a meal with my MSR Pocket Rocket while camping at 10,500 feet. A few items looked like they had burned to the pan, but all it took was one swipe with a paper towel for clean up. I might just replace all of my pans at home with these.

Great skillet. Nests perfectly with the Flex 4 system. My only complaint is that it didn't come with the Flex 4 system. It makes a nice pancake and eggs or fried potato's in the backcountry.

This skillet is awesome, super lightweight and big enough for the meals I like to cook. It nestles into the MSR Flex 4 cookset, completing what I see as the ultimate cookset for a handful of people or more!

I bought the skillet, it fits inside the pot? mine is smaller than the little pot. does it replace a plate? if that is true then all the cups wont fit, only 3 of the 4.

How does the MSR Flex Skillet nest within the Flex 4 cookset?

Jason Livingston

Member since 
Responded on

It should. It was designed to nest in the Flex 4 Cookset.

It nests on the outside of the small non-stick pot. It works perfectly with the Flex 4 system.

Lightweight skillet that has a non-stick surface. I have made eggs, bacon and pancakes and non of them have stuck to the surface which makes for a easy clean-up.

Very easy to clean and heats up quickly. Used with the MSR Superfly stove and cooked a relatively large portion of scrambled eggs (6 extra large eggs) all at once without burning them. Also did great with pancakes. I still love my jetboil but i cant make pancakes very well with it. I do wish the handle on this skillet was the type that clamps on because once the pan is hot you cant really take the handle off or put it on....however the handle is light enough that it doesnt tip the skillet over.

MSR Large dish, 8" GSI Pinnacle Frypan, MSR Medium Dish, MSR Quick 2 Pot Set all nested together. Inside the Quick 2 is The 1.5 liter pot with Sea to Summit XS Tek Towel between the 1.5 and the 2.5 as well as the GSI 8" Frypan Handle and a Light My Fire Spork, regular size.

This is a nice, relatively light frying pan that cleans easily. The sides are straight, and it's deep to help keep everything in when cooking at camp. It's not especially lightweight, but I wouldn't mind bringing it on shorter backpacking trips.
