What Brunner cookware and tableware suits camping and motorhome use?

Brunner's cookware ranges from basic aluminium Pirate sets for gas-only cooking to the Carezza Magnet and Fusion series with ceramic non-stick coating, MagnetoGrip stacking handles and induction-compatible bases. Tableware uses StoneTouch melamine in 2-person and 4-person sets. Low-wattage Minuwatt appliances (kettle, toaster, induction hob) complete the mobile kitchen setup.

The Pirate range is the entry point. The Pirate Mini (20 cm diameter) is a compact aluminium set with non-stick coating, stackable design and gas/electric hob compatibility. The Pirate Spacemaster (22 cm) offers a larger capacity while maintaining the nesting storage format. Both sets include pots, pans, lids and a detachable handle, all secured with a clasp band for transport. Moving up, the Carezza Magnet series introduces Brunner's MagnetoGrip system: fold-down handles with integrated magnetic elements that lock the stacked pots together without a lashing strap. The Vacublock system prevents rattling during transit. Every piece has a ceramic non-stick coating (PFOA-free and scratch-resistant) and an induction-compatible base. Available in 20 cm and 22 cm diameter sets (7-piece plus handle), the Carezza Magnet packs into a space of roughly 20 cm cubed. The Fusion 7+1 uses the same MagnetoGrip and Vacublock technology in a different design configuration at 22 cm diameter.

For tableware, Brunner's StoneTouch melamine uses a 40% mineral content blended with melamine resin. The result looks and feels like porcelain but is impact-resistant, BPA-free, dishwasher-safe and freezer-safe. Every plate and bowl includes an anti-slip rubber ring on the base to prevent sliding during travel and reduce rattling when stacked. The Odette set (6-in-1) is a 2-person stackable set with dinner plates, deep plates, dessert plates and a salad bowl that holds the full stack. The Dolomit Grey, Tuscany and Tierra Forest designs each come as a tete-a-tete 8-piece set for 2 people or a Midday 12-piece set for 4 people. The Tierra Forest range uses PLA (polylactic acid) bio-based material. The Minuwatt appliance range fills the gap for campers on mains hookup: the 12V Monsun fan for ventilation, a low-wattage kettle, toaster, single induction hob and double induction hob. These are designed to run on typical campsite electrical supplies without tripping the site breaker.

Matching cookware to your hob type is the most important decision. If you cook exclusively on gas, any Brunner set works. If your motorhome or van conversion has an induction hob, you need either the Carezza Magnet or Fusion range, as the Pirate sets are not induction-compatible. For 2 people, the 20 cm sets are sufficient. Families or groups of 3 to 4 should go with the 22 cm diameter sets. On tableware, the tete-a-tete sets work for couples, while the Midday sets serve families of four. Entry-level Pirate cookware and basic melamine represent the most affordable tier. The Carezza Magnet with MagnetoGrip sits at mid-range. Premium setups combine the larger Carezza or Fusion sets with Dolomit or Odette StoneTouch tableware.

The biggest mistake with camping cookware is buying sets that don't fit your hob. Induction hobs require ferromagnetic bases, and not all aluminium pans have them. The Carezza Magnet and Fusion ranges specifically include induction-compatible construction, while the Pirate range does not. For melamine tableware, remember that it cannot be used in microwaves or ovens. Heat food in a separate microwave-safe container and serve on the melamine. Use smooth knives rather than serrated blades on melamine plates, and clean with soft sponges rather than scouring pads to preserve the surface. The MagnetoGrip handle system means handles fold flat and magnets hold the set together, but make sure you check the magnetic alignment is correct when stacking, as misaligned handles will prevent the magnets from engaging properly.
