About this deal

We’ve tried pots without handles like the original version of the Vargo Bot(a bottle-pot that comes with a screwable lid but no handles). While we appreciate the weight savings, a handle-less design is inconvenient for all but the most gram-saving weenies. If you’re car camping, you will likely have more burners available and should get as many pots as you have burners. You’ll also want plates, deep bowls, and mugs as well as a frying pan. For this story, we’re only considering cooking pots, although the GSI Pinnacle cookset that we recommend includes a pot, pan, plates, bowls, and mugs.

The only complaint we’ve seen (and it’s true for most Titanium pots except for the MSR Titan) is that the lid doesn’t “snap” into the pot. The lid is fairly loose, which means it’s easy to pull it off. That can be a boon if you’d rather not burn yourself when removing a pot’s lid. But it also means that you’ll need care when draining water.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. 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. External: 4 1/2" (115mm) (Diameter) X 4 3/8" (112mm) (H) (measured with lid and handles folded and bail handle) 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).

Note that like all titanium and aluminum cookware, MSR advises that you don’t want to put this one directly on a fire.

Titanium and aluminum are lightweight, but can warp, dent, and scratch easily. This can really drive some people nuts. What we don’t like: pricier than some pots, handles aren’t insulated, liquid measure lines not as intuitive as on other pots.
