Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

I took this pan backpacking with the Enchantment twice this summer and love the size. I was able to make bacon and eggs with out any issues at all. the pan cooks for the most part very evenly. and I love the orange plastic bottom I was able to us this as a plate.
In reading the other review I am not sure why it would take them so long to clean out. what i recommand is wipe it clean if there are some brown spots on the bottom when you get home take some soft sbrub to it it will come out as good as new.
Over all I think it was a great pan I have all the other jet boil products and I think this pan and the cup are the 2 I will always take with me.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

I couldn't wait to try this thing out and did so right in my kitchen. And, since there's nothing like a good, hearty breakfast at 6:30 in the evening, out came the breakfast stuff, hash browns, brown-n-serve sausage links and eggs.
The first thing I tried to cook with it was hash brown potatos. They welded themselves to the bottom of the pan almost immediatly despite over doing the cooking oil a tad. I thought I'd just ruined a rather expensive pan. Happily, once it cooled, it cleaned up to point it looked unused. After a dozen eggs, the first few of which were all but carbonized, again despite the cooking oil, I finally figured out (mostly) how to get some heat control. Through all of that, the pan still looks brand new. The only thing used to clean it was plain water and a scrub pad for non-stick pans.
The sausage links came out fine the first time, by the way.

After several hours of practice and the addition of a lid, I finally figured out some tecniques that worked for me and didn't scorch the food.

Recommendations:
Practice at home or don't try to cool "low temp" food (like eggs).
Have the garbage can handy. (Or the dog, he'll love you for it ;-)
Be paitent

Jetboil folks: This thing really needs a lid. It would help a lot with temperature control. Also, the handles feel flimsy despite appearing to be mounted securely. Perhaps a wire bale to hold the halves together would work.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

I hesitated to spend the [$] on a pan with no lid, but I absolutely love my jetboil with the original pot and larger group pot, so I went for it.Big mistake! First trip out I tried to make some potato cakes i the morning and almost instantly the things were permanently fused to the 'nonstick' bottom. I got home and experimented with different oils, etc. Can't find anything that doesn't burn onto the thing. I went to the local dollar store and found the same size pan, (nonstick!) and just tore off the handle and used my old trusty MSR handle. Boy, if i could do that over.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

This pan heats well and evenly. The handles are stable enough and have a nice feature of folding away instead having to worry about packing a pot lifter. There is a plastic bottom that covers the FluxRing (and allows you to store a Jetboil retractable spatula).

My biggest complaint about this is the lack of a plastic lid (such as the one found on the Jetboil Cooking Pot). If not stored/packed properly, the pan edges can easily scratch other unprotected/uncovered items. Depending on the amount of gear you will be carrying, the pan may be a little heavy for backpacking. Overall, for simple car camping it's fine. I would highly recommend getting the Jetboil Pot Support and Stabilizer Kit if you will be using it with this product.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

I read all the reviews and I have one comment, " turn down the heat!" even in my kitchen I use low heat when cooking, you need to do the same thing with any frying pan. That is why the guy that had success frying eggs, he cook them very low. Take some cooking classes! you'll eat better on the trail.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

We had to return our entire Jet Boil System because we got this fry pan as a part of it. The Fry pan was not handy for backpacking trips, so we didn't take it with us on our annual hike in the high sierras. It took us 2 years to find a use for it, on a car camping trip. We tried to make Pancakes. The pan was way too hot and absolutely seared the cakes to the base. And when we went to flip them with the Jet Boil spatula, the spatula melted to the fry pan ruining the food and the pan. When REI tried to get Jet Boil to replace the pan, they said it was past the warranty date (though this happened on the first use) and so REI had to make us return the entire set including the stove so we could get a replacement stove. It was a wedding gift, and we were so sad to part with our stove, which had accompanied us on our honeymoon and subsequent trips. Overall a big bummer.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

Just like the Jetboil mug, the pan gets things really hot, really fast... but that's about all it's good for.

The center of the pan was definitely the hot-spot, and whatever food item touched it instantly welded itself to the pan. I worked on control with several different food items, but cannot seem to find a point that will cook-not-scorch.

I was looking forward to using the Jetboil as a cooking system, but have come to realize that the Jetboil is good for one thing only- getting water hot fast.

I'll be returning this somewhat useless frying pan (as well as the $20 pan stabilizer kit to REI.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

Since I indicated above that I am comfort-driven, I can safely say that I do not want to spend too much time washing dishes in the woods. I thought it would be as easy as cleaning a teflon pan at home, so I went and spent the big bucks on this pan. Needless to say, I am quite disappointed. It would also be nice if it came with a lid. I had to improvise instead.The good points are that the bottom of the pan sits nicely on the stove and it does not shift. It is light-weight.

Comments about Jetboil FluxRing Fry Pan - 8":

Even after the poor reviews, I still bought this based on the satisfaction of other Jetboil purchases. Keep the flame down, it is very efficient. Heat up the pan on a low flame, then poor in the oil. I recently sauteed diced garlic, jalapenos, steak. Pulled the steak out and scramble real eggs. Some eggs did naturally stick, but cleaned up nicely. The center is hotter because that is where the flame is. The metal is thin for obvious reasons. Pay attention to the center of the pan. I wish everything was less expensive and easier to clean. This pan works as designed and is as easy to clean as other pans. If you've bought into the Jetboil system you'll find this is a perfect fit.
