Titanium Pots

People cause got asked me what pots I use, together with then I idea I'd listing out my collection together with brand a few comments every bit well.  I've listed all the weights below which may endure useful inward together with of themselves.

1	Snow Peak Trek 1400	1400	125	62	187	6.60	0.41

General Comments
Notice commencement off that inward lines 1 together with 2 that I've listed the same Snow Peak Trek 1400 pot.  The commencement trouble is amongst the stock frying pan lid.  The minute trouble is amongst a inexpensive aluminum lid that I bought inward a Good Will Thrift Store.  I cause got lost my stock lid, together with then I'll cause got to update that column later, but I'm confident that my 29g aluminum lid (which industrial plant perfectly fine) is far lighter than the stock lid.

I also mean value that a titanium frying pan isn't a real skillful selection for those who desire to cook.  I much prefer aluminum youngster pans which distribute oestrus far to a greater extent than evenly.  With titanium youngster pans, I normally current of air upward amongst a lot of burnt spots.  Also, I discovery that the handgrip on a frying pan lid gets inward the way.  I much prefer a elementary loop or knob atop my pot lids.

As amongst lines 1 together with two, together with then also amongst lines 4 together with five.  Again, I've substituted a lighter lid for the frying pan lid that comes amongst the set.  I lose weight together with gain ease-of-use.  I loathe that frying pan lid handgrip together with much prefer the elementary loop on the lid of my Evernew 1300ml pot.  Since I real rarely ever accept both a 1300ml together with a 1000ml pot out on the same trip, using the 1300ml lid for the 1000ml pot industrial plant simply fine.  On those rare occasions where I demand both pots, I simply suck it upward together with accept the frying pan lid.

Recommendations
1.  Materials.  Titanium is light, together with titanium is strong, but if you lot desire to create existent food, teach aluminum cookware.  I discovery that titanium tends to scorch foods also easily.  Titanium is neat for boiling H2O together with melting snow. When melting snowfall ever start amongst some liquid H2O inward the bottom of the pot.  That liquid H2O volition aid distribute the oestrus to a greater extent than evenly together with efficiently together with volition aid to protect the pot from warping.

2.  Size.  I discovery that around 1000ml is the most versatile size for me.  If I were going to simply teach 1 pot, I'd likely teach something around 1000ml inward size.  Why 1000ml?  Well, hither are a few reasons:

• Efficiency.  Smaller pots are indeed by together with large lighter together with to a greater extent than packable, but smaller pots tend to endure narrow.  With a narrow pot, a lot of the oestrus from a stove gets wasted upward the sides.  I discovery that my stoves are much to a greater extent than efficient amongst a 1000ml pot amongst "traditional" proportions (wider than tall).  I create notice, though, that my novel 1300ml Evernew pot is a existent "bargain" inward damage of weight (see higher upward table).  It volition accept slightly to a greater extent than room inward my pack, but weigh less than my 1000ml Snow Peak Pot.  My 1300ml Evernew pot may teach my novel "go to" pot.
• Practical cooking capacity.  I discovery pots less than almost 750ml to endure impractical.  Not alone are they inefficient due to wasted heat, they also lack plenty capacity for me to boil plenty H2O for dinner together with a hot imbibe inward 1 boil.
• Carrying Capacity.  I similar to endure able to shop my stove inward my pot.  With a 1000ml pot, I tin sack lay a Clikstand (for example) downwardly apartment inside.  I tin sack also deport a lighter, an alcohol stove, a small-scale fuel bottle, a spoon, together with my windscreen inside.

A 1000ml Snow Peak pot tin sack deport an entire cooking educate inside.

• Safety.  Also, I've had a lot of boil overs amongst small-scale pots.  I tend to boil at to the lowest degree 500ml (about 2 cups) at a time.  With a 550ml pot, there's non much distance betwixt the H2O trouble together with the rim of the pot.  A boil over when working amongst a gas stove could endure quite unsafe since the boiling H2O could overheat the canister causing a flare or inward some circumstances (if the canister were already quite hot) a canister explosion.  Not good.

So at that spot you lot cause got it, a few thoughts on pots.

Thanks for joining me on some other Adventure inward Stoving,
