Getting on with my life and thinking about things.
Question was:
Just wondered if the SnowPeak 900 set was any good - interested in fact it has small frying pan, and lightweight - does pan burn and could you use pan as mug.
My answer is:
Although there was some sticking of the potato scone to the frying pan (lid), the lid cleaned up fine for me afterwards.
As to using the pan as a drinking mug – yes, but it isn’t as good as drinking from a separate mug (eg a plastic one).
Although I have used the SnowPeak 900 as my cookset of choice for a couple of years now, this is the first time I used it in this way. I never have anything along to fry, and I always carry a separate mug. As with any hollow solid object in my pack, things can get packed inside.

Aha, bacon butties. Just one word of caution. When I carry oil it is a nalgene bottle. However, it can still seep through a tiny bit. tightly wrapping it in a poly bag is essential.
Good advice. A wee ziplock back would be handy - I have some from wargames suppliers, and from SHC order earlier in year.
Odd to think I have had a 900 for years and never used the frying pan. I got the eta power stove and on Dartmoor me and Alan chatted while I cooked pancakes using the frying pan lid. They are so handy.
You do know I'm going to have to try this now, don't you?
Don't do it, Kev - just look at my waistline in the clip!!
As a bit of a fan of the bacon and tattie scone break whilst abckpacking (usually at about 11:00 am, with coffee...), I discovered that you don;t actually need to use any oil at all. Modern supermarket bacon is quite fatty amd also contains a fair amount of water, which all comes out when you heat it up.
The tattie scone soaks everything up.
Alternatively, cooking a sausage in the pan produces vast amounts of fat... this can be eaten with a fork as an appetizer whilst waiting for the main snack.
The pan is cleaned by putting a bit of water in, warming it up and attacking it violently with a pan scubber/sponge.
One word of advice, though - eating bacon and tattie scone without any brown sauce at all is just wrong. Whats the matter with you, man? Are you Scottish or something?
I usually nuke my fryups in the m/w at home, and the amount of fat that runs out into the lower section of the dish is amazing. When I'm using a pan, I think I have the heat too high so things stick to the pan.
Heating pan for cleaning - that's good advice. I've the mountain suds for cleaning - from the days when I did more than boil water in the cookset.
Brown sauce? Noooooooo.... I scowled so much that the woman who works at the breakfast bar at work no long bothers to ask. Not that I frequent there except on special occasions.
You could try those bacon medalions that super markets sell. They fit in this type of pan better.
