Using this cookset is easy. First, place the pot on your camping stove. The efficient heat transfer of the hard - anodized aluminum alloy will quickly heat up your food. When you're cooking pasta or something that needs to be strained, use the strainer holes in the lid. Clip the lid to the side of the pot with the LidKeep when you're not using it. The Click - Safe handle can be adjusted according to your needs. As for the bowls and cups, just use them as you would normal dinnerware. When it comes to cleaning, since the pot has a non - stick coating, it's easy to wash. Just use a mild detergent and a soft sponge. Make sure to dry all the items thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid using abrasive materials on the non - stick surface, as it may damage the coating. Store the cookset in a dry place to keep it in good condition for your next adventure.
