Can they?

Be used with a two-burner camp stove?

Yes. The key is to keep the flame pattern of the burner inside the ring printed on the base of the pot (and keep the heat lower – the base conducts heat really well).

 

Be used on open fires?

No. Open flames are unpredictable. The heat rising up the sides of the pot will damage the silicone rubber and would almost certainly melt the lid and damage the handles.

 

Be washed in a dishwasher?

No. The caustic cleanser will damage the anodization.

 

Be used on an induction stove?

No. The alloy base is not magnetic, so induction stoves won’t work. Caution is needed with high output stoves – the X Cookware can quickly boil dry if not watched.

 

Be used on a domestic stove?

Domestic stoves have a much higher output than backpacking stoves. If Silicone Cookware is used with a home stove, the heat setting should be kept low, and care should be taken to ensure that the pot does not boil dry.
