Heats unevenly and poorly
Kiwi4 years ago
I wish I had read the other reviews. Similar experience. 1) It heats pretty much only the center 2) there's no efficiency gain as there is with the pots, as it lacks the heat-distributing "vanes" that the pots have.
I bought this as I thought it might do a better job of pancakes than the regular camping set pan plus modified Jetboil pot stand that I had been using. Instead it's far WORSE as you cannot move the pan over the flame to distribute the heat, even.
With a little effort, MSR could have added the "magic vanes" that make the pots so good. And for this price, I'd expect "a little effort".
Pictures show the disaster it made of pancakes, compared to the great job (if gas-inefficient) the regular pan managed.

Heats poorly and unevenly, not very non-stick

Exceeded My Expectations

Wow. We have a Windburner Duo and added this pan for a recent 4-day backpacking trip with our kids. We made scrambled (rehydrated) eggs, as well as pancakes, and the pan performed flawlessly. Paired with the stove it had a remarkable amount of temperature control, especially on the low end, which is rare for lightweight kit. I can only assume that people who had issues with this pan must have over-fired it. In our experience, both eggs and pancakes cooked up perfectly with super-simple cleanup. Pro tip: pack ghee for backpacking trips in lieu of butter/oil. A little goes a long way and aids in the non-stock performance. Don't over-fire it, use proper lube and it should get the job done splendidly.

Broke. Pan separated from the bottom
2 years ago
I’d love to tell you how this pan works but haven’t been able to use it because the top separated from the ring that holds it in place. Since I don’t live anywhere near an REI, I’d have to ship it in just to have it looked at and pay for shipping, which is an unnecessary hassle . Since the REI return policy doesn’t cover it anymore I’m just going have to break down and ship it back. I wish I knew what they used to attach the top and bottom so I could maybe take it to a local welding shop. The whole thing have been a tremendous disappointment. And I was looking forward to pancakes and quesadillas.

Decent - needs some accessories

I have both the quick skillet and the windburned skillet. I like how the Windburner Skillet discipates the heat evenly and of course the fitment of my Windburner stove. But... I would like to see a lid or even a non-stick version. Typically, I heat up some salt - rub it in after it cools and that does the trick - if you don't eggs will stick - especially powdered. But veggies, boiling all kinds of other activities work great - it's a great complimentary product to the Wind Burner stove. I also would like to see a version with a lip or a bent spout to pour water out. Little features like that would make this an even better product.

Flawed design.

As you can see from the picture the Windburner centers over the stove. The heat remains in that small central area and doesn't transfer equally over the base of the skillet.Fine, maybe, if you have a lot of liquid in the pan, but otherwise you will have to push the food around to get it over the hot center to cook. This can also lead to overheating in that area and burning. Imagine taking a large skillet at home and using it over the smallest cooking ring, and not being able to move the pan. Makes no sense. The product quality is perfect, but in hindsight, I would choose a different product from the range.

Another A+ for msr
4 years ago
I have owned this pan since the ceramic model became available, it still looks new to this day. The non coating is good quality, my pan has a scuff from a rough item in bag, but that doesn't effect the non stick, have yet to have anything stick in this pan, cheese even!. The pan makes the stove a fuel sipper, I have no complaints about the pan or msr.

Overpriced and poor quality

Overpriced, cooks unevenly, the handle won't stay on, the ceramic coating wore off in a couple weeks, and eventually the Windburner metal ring separated from the pan, rendering it worthless, just like MSR/Cascade customer service.

Perfect for backpacking

Works great and it is so lightweight. I cooked a steak using this pan while on a backpacking trip and it was perfect! Easily cleaned too. Highly recommended accessory if you have the windburner stove system
