Frequently asked questions

Are Alocs pots safe for cooking food?

Yes. The cookware is made from food-grade hard-anodized aluminum that meets US and European safety standards. The anodized layer is inert, non-toxic and does not react with food or leach into it.

Can I use Alocs cookware over an open campfire?

The pots and kettles handle open flame well — hard-anodized aluminum tolerates direct fire. Keep silicone handle sleeves away from flames by positioning handles outward, and expect some cosmetic soot on the exterior.

What fuel do the alcohol stoves burn?

Denatured alcohol, bioethanol or methylated spirits. The sealed cover lets you store unburned fuel inside the stove between uses, and the simmer ring regulates flame intensity.

How do the folding handles stay safe with a full pot?

The handles use welded mounts (not rivets) and a positive metal lock. Always check the metal part of the handle has clicked into its locked position before lifting a hot or full pot.

Are the non-stick surfaces durable?

The non-stick coating is applied over hard-anodized aluminum, which is much harder than raw aluminum. Use silicone or wooden utensils and it will last for seasons of regular trips.

Which set should I start with?

For two to three people, the Compact Cookware Set (the 1,300-review classic) covers everything. Solo hikers should look at the ultralight 1L pots; groups and families do better with the 4-in-1 or 11-piece sets.

Do you sell products yourself?

No. This is an independent catalogue. The buttons on product pages lead to the retailer’s live listing where the purchase, delivery and returns are handled.
