Recent Pot/Pan Reviews
Sea to Summit Sigma Stainless Steel Pot
Similar to a previous comment...best feature is the worst by far. I will further support a previous review regarding the lock mechanism. I have to admit that the issue with the lock giving way is REALLY an issue. PLEASE POUR TO THE LEFT. I unfortunately had read this review before purchasing this, but then in classic fashion as I was pouring boiling water into my coffee I forgot the advice here, the lock mech gave away dumping boiling water on my foot. I had running shoes on and still suffered severe… Full review
GSI Outdoors Escape HS 3L Pot + Frypan
GSI paired a 3L collapsible nylon pot with a 9-inch frying pan to create a compact combo for folks who like to do some actual cooking in the outdoors. Hard anodized aluminum pot base and fry pan with a durable Teflon non-stick coating, plus the pot has a built in heatsink that really gets things boiling faster. Great for front country use. Those willing to carry a little weight will enjoy the benefits in the back country too, especially families or groups cooking together. The GSI Outdoors Escape… Full review
GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset
Very light and compact. This is probably my most frequently used bit of camping gear. I have made up a 'kit' using this, inside it I fit a 100g gas canister, a Soto Amicus stove, the pot gripper supplied, and a windproof lighter. An Optimus clip-on windshield fits snugly on the outside held on with an elastic band and then clips on to the gas canister when in use. What I end up with is a very light and compact setup that comes with me on most day trips and is compact enough to fit in a small daypack… Full review
GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Dualist HS
A compact two-person cook set that stows neatly in its own pot, the Pinnacle Dualist HS offers a few perks similar sets lack, such as a PFOA-free Teflon-coated pot with heat exchanger and "Foons," GSI's folding sporks. The heat exchanger pot contributes to faster boil times and lower fuel consumption, and the inclusion of mugs, bowls, and utensils makes this a good option for a backpacking duo who wish to share a cook set that is efficient, compact, and durable. In the Box The Pinnacle Dualist HS… Full review
Toaks Titanium 850ml Pot
Great pot for solo hiking. My only gripe with this stove is that Toaks no longer makes it. I find mine to be right in the sweet spot size-wise for one-person cooking. I have made soups and noodles in it but would not use it for any more in-depth cooking. As stated in the previous review, great for boiling water for coffee/tea and dehydrated/freeze dried meals. When I first started getting into ultralight backpacking upgrading my cook-kit was one of the first things I looked at doing. The Toaks 850… Full review
Toaks Titanium 1100ml Pot with Pan
Nicely-sized lightweight cooking kit This 1100ml pot from Toaks is a nice size for 1-2 people. I've generally taken it with me when I've been planning to cook or boil water for two people, or when open fires are prohibited and I bring the a twig stove. I typically nest a Toaks Ti Backpacking Wood Burning Stove inside this pot (and a Fancee Feast stove and windscreen within that), and it fits perfectly with its sack. I've used it with alcohol stoves, twig stoves, and over an open fire for about two… Full review
Toaks Titanium 750ml Pot
This pot is super light and sturdy. I like the graduated ML markings. Works well with my BRS stove. I love it for backpacking! I use this pot on all of my backpacking adventures. Works great for some dehydrated meals and instant coffee. Washes up well too. Full review
Kelty Camp Kitchen
My husband and I camp together a few weekends each month, and take two week-long trips each September. We have been camping our entire lives, and have used various types of camp kitchen cook ware, ranging from high end brands to odds and ends picked up at the local thrift store. Our motley collection of camp kitchen gear received a definite upgrade when we received the Kelty Camp Kitchen to review for Trailspace. We found that this inclusive set of a pan with lid, pot with lid, four sets of eating… Full review
MSR WindBurner Sauce Pot 2.5L
A solid addition to MSR's Windburner system, just big enough to cook simple meals for four people, but not 100% compatible with the canister-top Windburner and not as fuel-efficient as smaller pots in the system. My wife and I have been using the canister-top Windburner with the 1.8 L pot as our preferred two-person cook system for at least three years. That pot is just big enough to hold two portions of one of our standard meals, “Tuna P. Wiggle” (two boxes of macaroni and cheese with some… Full review
