Optimus Terra Cookset Manual

neil — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:58:51 GMT

Silent packing pans that stays hot longer. A set that eliminates pan rattle when hiking and even cooks food without a flame. Well, almost. The slim-fit insulated stuff bag made of nylon and neoprene allows you to boil water, kill the flame, strap on the packing bag and to continue the cooking process. Imagine, cook simmering foods like rice or noodles and save fuel by doing so. Or get both pots cooking at once and have some tomato sauce with those noodles.

All three pans are made of hard-anodized aluminium and the skillet and smaller pot are grooved on the bottom for increased stability on the burner. The slim-fit stuff bag and the larger pot protect the DuPont Teflon coating on the frying surface of the skillet and smaller pot. Bon appétit!

Optimus Stella Plus Manual

neil — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:52:14 GMT

So much stove, so little wasted space. At first glance it might appear that the Optimus Stella+ has been run over by a large truck, but it only locks that way because it's folded for space-efficient packing. The Optimus Stella+ is a transformer that unfolds into a stable base that's able to accommodate enough soup for a small army. Even the burner head is foldable, it's the same technology used on our most compact burner, the Optimus Crux. When the burner is unfolded for cooking, it's ready in a snap. Once attached to a gas canister, all that's left to do is open the valve, fire the built-in pieze igniter and remember where you packed your grandma's recipe for Beef Wellington.

Optimus Nova Plus Manual

neil — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:45:32 GMT

Optimus Nova+ is exactly what the name suggests, a stove with the performance of the original Optimus Nova - plus a little more. We've added the patent pending Powerline for precision flame control at a distance from the flame by simply twisting the fuel hose. Optimus Nova+ also offers the stability of wide pot supports that fold around the burner for packing convenience and its serrated burner arms assure that the pan stays in place. Details like EZ-coupling for quick connection of the burner to the pump, the quick priming burner, self-purging aluminium Flipstop pump and a built in magnetic cleaning needle make sure that user's outdoor experience are all good ones. No matter what the conditions, the Optimus Nova+ will cook up meals that make users feel right at home in nature.

Optimus Crux Manual

neil — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:37:43 GMT

The heavy-duty lightweight. Meet the Optimus Crux, an eighty-three gram stove engineered to hide away under a gas canister. This seemingly impossible feat is accomplished with a foldable burner neck and serrated pot supports which are also designed to fold away for packing. It's hard to find a stove that's more compact and convenient than the Optimus Crux, and despite its size, the power of the Optimus Crux is right up there with the big boys at 3000W. Why carry more than needed? All you'd ever need for a dinner date with Mother Nature is right here.
