Well, the time has come to get some new pots and pans for use in the boat. I have a Wallas stove (Nordic DT), and would like to get a set that makes good use of space. I've been looking at the Magma nesting cookware (non-stick), and it seems like the ticket. Before taking the plunge, I thought I'd check if any of you folks have used it on your Wallas, and if so, how it worked. Anyone?

We have a set of Magma that we bought in 2003. It's the only cooking set on the boat and has worked well for hundreds of meals. No regrets at all. Nests to save space. We have the all stainless pans without non-stick coating.

I didn't do the non stick either. Great pans.

Thanks for the input. Looks like a good set for the C Dory.

+1 for Magma,
Like the build quality. Haven't cooked much but think it was money well spent. Also have another set but it doesn't look like they are offered anymore.

I've been looking for some cookware too, and had pretty much decided on the Magma. Basically, I want to combine the features of two sets of cookware I already have.

1) A good "home" set that is thick, cooks well, etc. but is home sized, meaning it doesn't fit in the sink so well, and each piece has "sticky outy" handles which makes it store less well.

2) A set of camp cookware, that I use all the time because it fits so easily in small sinks for washing, and stores so easily; but that is thin-skinned and so doesn't cook all that well.

I'll be going for non-non-stick, because I like something super sturdy that I can use any old spatula, spoon, etc. in - plus not worry when I nest them. I don't seem to have too much trouble with food sticking in "normal" pans for some reason.

The Magma looks like a good combination of the two. One note is that the "plain" Magma also comes in a version that can be used on induction stoves, so if anyone thinks they might be moving to one of those, they might want to get that version (it looks the same as the regular version, but must be magnetic somehow... I'm not all up on induction cooking). IIRC it was about $10 more for the induction capable set as the regular non-non-stick set.

We have had the nesting Magma set for 5 years and I love it. We do extensive cooking on Carpy and I always comment that the set is better than we have at home. I would avoid the coating. It will require more care and will only deteriorate. We've bee pleased with the uncoated set.

Boomer:

These look like a very nice set of pans. While we can't see the bottoms of them in the imaging, but it appears they have a bonded and machined flat bottom as part of their design. This works well with the Wallas ceramic cooktops, as does a fairly lightweight design (not cast iron!), which these seem to have. They look like a good choice.

Thank you!

We bought an induction cook top a New Wave 2 and Magma has a the same nested pans in an induction version. We like them a lot. The induction cooktop puts out a lot less heat. You need to have shore power or a generator but the Magma nested pans are the bomb.

Master 'a meal in one pan' cooking aboard small boats and you'll
be waaay ahead. Why have those extra pans, even nested, take up
space you could use for important stuff like alcoholic libations,
Playboy mags, or rubber duckies?

Aye?

Hey Foggy,

No cooking and no need for cold stuff on board and you are free from grills, fuel, stove fuel, coolers and ice needs, More time for fun.

Now you're talkin'. This is fun.
And the boat stays, well, like it was.
Use your boat as a car.
Pull into a marina slip.
Walk a few blocks where it smells real good.
Start early enough so you can get a seat
at the bar and have your table waiting.
Guzzle and chow where the pros pour and cook.
Flirt with the barmaid. Careful here. It can cost later.
Put it on your credit card and forget about it.
Find your boat, brush your teeth and crash.
Do it again tomorrow.
Been th'ar, done that. It works for me.

Aye.

A little difficult if your on the shore at Lake Powell, or on the hook somewhere in SE Alaska.
