Trangia Multi Disc Review

trangia multi disc review

The Trangia Multi-Purpose Disc is an extremely useful addition to your backcountry cooking set. If you are a backpacker who likes to spend time preparing food outdoors, then you’ll instantly know how handy this plastic disc could be.

You can use it as a colander, as a cutting board, as a stove stand for use on snow or as a surface for kneading and rolling dough for backcountry bread.

The Trangia Multi-Purpose Disc is made from heat-resistant and food-contact approved polyamide called PA66. Do not use the disc as a lid while cooking, it can melt if it comes in direct contact with the heat source.

Trangia Multi Disc is extremely compact and durable. It takes up no extra space in your backpack if it packed together with pots and pans of the same diameter.

We bought the Trangia Multi Disc several years ago from a specialized retail store to complement our Trangia Tundra 1 non-stick cook set.

    Which Multidisc do you use combined with your Tundra pan? The 27 (small) seems to be too small and the 25 (large) too large for the frying pan that comes with the Tundra set.
