Bac Pac..i don;t wash that frying pan i just give it a quick wipe with about a quarter of a paper towel.thats my solo pan,i have a big one for the buddy trips.
it's non stick aluminum and it holds up ok as i pack between a couple of those give away pie tins.the pie tins make a clean level spot for the fork,spoon and coffee cup....weight is not a issue----
