Using this Fire - Maple cooking set is a piece of cake. First, take out the pot and cover from the package. You can use the smaller pot as a cover or a bowl depending on your needs. Place the pot on the stove with the 220g gas canister. The heat exchanger at the bottom will quickly transfer heat and start cooking your meal. Remember, the foldable handle has a silicon coating, so you can hold it safely while cooking. When you're done, it's easy to clean. Just use some mild soap and water. Since it's made of anodized aluminum, it's scratch - resistant, but try not to use abrasive cleaners to keep it in top shape. After cleaning, let it dry completely before storing it. You can store the gas canister and stove inside the pot for easy packing on your next day hike.
