This cookware set is great. The pot and pan have a wide base and are very stable on my svea 123 stove. The handles will get hot so use caution. When used with my brass lite stove I do not get any flame spillage and subsequent wasted fuel common to alcohol stoves and narrow based pots.

The stove, extra fuel, my cup, spork, spongy brush cleanup kit, firestarter, soap suds, bandanna and hand towel all fit inside making this a complete kitchen set.

Unlike most other titanium cookware sets where you only boil water, you can actually cook in this one. the pan acts as a cover for the pot, but can actually be used as a double boiler. You can boil water or cook rice, pasta oatmeal, etc. in the larger pot and poach eggs,cook sausages etc. in the smaller one at the same time. this set is great for 2-3 people, and have everyone eating at the same time.

My only caution is that the ti used in lightweight cook sets is thin and will burn your food and/or warp if you leave it unattended. By the way, I have no first hand experience with this. I watched another do this with a different mfg's product, but I feel the results would be the same.
