Pros: The cookpot has been designed in such a way that it is successfully multipurpose. The 750ml capacity makes it big enough to cook enough food for a good meal but it’s not so large that it can’t also double as a (albeit large) mug for coffee breaks or an evening hot drink. This is achieved with the handles on the side of the pot that can fold out to make moving the pot from the stove easier and make it easy to drink from as a mug. Having an item that can double up like this is useful for people who want to reduce the amount of stuff they take with them as well as reduce their overall base weight. External: 4 1/2" (115mm) (Diameter) X 4 3/8" (112mm) (H) (measured with lid and handles folded and bail handle) What we like: even burn that can handle temperature differences for ACTUAL cooking, insulated lid and handle, durability, price One of the advantages of the Halulite over other anodized pots we considered is GSI’s thoughtful insulated handle system. Rubber-like insulation protects your hands from the heat when handling a hot stove.

The Handles - At first the handles look flimsy but on the contrary they are actually sturdy and very comfortable to hold even when the mug is full of hot contents. The rounded edges and pinky notch complement fingers very pleasantly. They provide stability and a good grip. Even though they fold away nicely, the handles don’t shift around when they are out and in use. What we like: designed to nest with each other, folding handles, very compact, everything for 4 people included The Lid - The vented lid eliminates any rolling boil guesswork, firing out steam when it’s time, much like a whistling tea kettle. The lid’s wire pull tab doesn’t get too hot to touch very easily but is adequately sized to allow assistance from a twig if it should be needed. The TOAKS Titanium Pots are made from ultralight titanium which is corrosion-resistant and can last for years if looked after. As well as being incredibly light and durable, the pots have a useful feature set consisting of fold away handles, internal graduation lines and lid with steam holes. The Toaks Titanium 750 mL has foldaway handles and a pot lid that provide just enough easy gripping to get the job done without adding unnecessary weight. It fits a 110g fuel canister and a stove while its shape and size make it relatively durable for titanium cookware.

Unlike the TOAKS, the MSR Titan lid handle has insulation so you can peek at your meal as it cooks without having to put on gloves first. But depending on how you cook, the un-insulated handles can get sometimes get hot, so we suggest using gloves when handling (as recommended with the TOAKS pot).

The TOAKS Titanium Pots are made from ultralight titanium which is corrosion-resistant and can last for years if looked after. As well as being incredibly light and durable, this pot has a useful feature set consisting of fold away handles, removable bail handle, internal graduation lines and lid with steam holes. The bail handle feature is great as it allows you to collect water easily as well as giving you the option for hanging your pot over an open fire. The latest version uses Fusion ceramic is tougher than the previous version. It’s not just free of PFOAs but PTFEs.Graduation Marks - Gradation marks are etched into the cup’s side where they are labeled in milliliters and ounces. To make our short list, all cookpots had to come with a lid, preferably with handles. We gave extra points to pots that had a way to secure their lid to the pot, at least while in transit if not during the cooking process. COOKING POT LIQUID QUANTITY gradation MARKINGS The ultralight titanium pot is perfect for long treks when every ounce of weight makes a difference! Ultralight titanium is corrosion-resistant and lasts for years. Rounded bottom edges make cleaning easy and improve heating efficiency . Handles fold away for compact storage . Titanium leaves no metalic smell or taste.

While in theory having an item that doubles as a pot and a mug seems pretty great, it does have its downsides. You can’t have a hot drink while you’re waiting for your food to cook and you do need to ensure you’ve wiped the pot out thoroughly after cooking, so that the evening hot drink won’t have nice bits of food floating about in it. However, if you are the sort of person who’s using this item for its multi-functionality, then the chances are you’re not overly worried about these minor concerns. A lightweight cup can be easily obtained for people who do like to prepare a hot drink to have while they then cook their food. Lids also reduce splatter. While reducing splatter is a nice feature of a pot in a home kitchen, when you’re in bear country, it’s nice to keep all your smelly food on one pot instead of all over your camp. Note that like all titanium and aluminum cookware, MSR advises that you don’t want to put this one directly on a fire. It can nest inside TOAKS Titanium 900ml D115mm Pot, Titanium 1000ml Pot, Titanium 1100ml Pot, Titanium 1100ml Pot with Bail Handle and Titanium 1100ml Pot with Pan While “ceramic” implies a heavier weight to many people, the MSR Ceramic Solo Pot is surprisingly lightweight. In fact, at 7.5 oz, it is 1.2 oz lighter than the Halulite, the other hard-anodized aluminum cookware of the same size. It’s also a bigger pot than the Halulite, so well suited for two people. At 3.75 oz per person, it’s the same weight per person as our lightest weight option, the titanium Toaks 750 mL.When it comes to sturdy, high-quality cookware for a reasonable price, TOAKS definitely fits the bill! Titanium and aluminum are lightweight, but can warp, dent, and scratch easily. This can really drive some people nuts. Another nice feature of the Halulite is that it features liquid measuring lines that are visible on the inside and outside of the pot. They’re measured in ounces (oz) and mL so make it easy to add the correct amount of water to your freeze-dried meal. What we don’t like: pricier than some pots, handles aren’t insulated, liquid measure lines not as intuitive as on other pots.
