Pots and Pans

“Since I jumped into this group, one bit of info please. How many pieces of cookware do ya'll pack. I like to heat and eat one meal. Aluminum, Titanium etc.”

“One Ti pot, used for boil only. If I do have a cook meal, I do t on the last day and eat outta the pot.”

“Like laqtis, I take one pot and meals that you just add the boiling water to and eat from the container. Thus, I never have to wash a dish. Put the containers in a ziplock bag and cart out.”

“Walmart grease pot, a spoon and a thermal mug.

dats it,”

“I hates doin' dishes on the trail!”

“I know use just one stainless steel pot. I'd like to get titanium at some point though.”

“Hmmm no wonder I had a 50lb pack first time out. "too much stuff"”

“Aluminum pot with lid, lexan spoon, lexan cup. I really only boil water and use the pot as my dinner bowl.”

“humanpackmule nailed it for you. I add a sponge with a rough surface for scrapping. Most of my pasta and rice dishes are cooked in the pot.”

“Used to carry more stuff. Now when I pack for just me it is a small alumninum pot with a lid (with a handle) that doubles as a plate. I use a lexan fork. Also carry a lightweight insulated plastic mug with lid.

Almost all my food is reconstituted and eaten from food storage bags. Only clean up is my mug and fork. Pack out the empty bags.

If I am sharing gear, then I may take my outback oven and and no-stick frying pan for those really yummy meals.”

“Ti pot, Ti cup, spoon and scrubber sponge. Ti cup gets cold to fast, going back to thermal mug.”

“titan kettle. i eat out of it then cook out of it again.
if need be, i give it a quick wipe with a packtowl.
usually the dog's with me to perform dishwashing duties, if not i use it dirty. i just don't care.”

“i have a cool anodized aluminum pot that my fuel can and pocket rocket fit into and there is a half size one that is the lid and fits over the other one and can be used for a bowl. lexan for, plastic cup. i take a teeny bottle of dish soap and a teeny scrubby sponge.”

“I usually kill a small squirrel, and boil my water in it's skull, discarding the skull afterwards. It's a lightweight option to titanium, and it works!

Seriuosly though, I do the same thing stratdewd does. Works like a charm, and takes up very little space.”

“We usually use one pot (a Ti these days),sometimes two for a large group if we plan on making cobbler etc...

As a side note Sass and I redid our closet and realized we have 9 friggin cookpots. What the he!! is that about!”

“time for dinner birch!”

“I just recieved my GSI anodized metal pot. 9oz. 1.25 quart with a cup....16.95 at campmor...also the pocket rocket stove and fuel fit perfectly inside it. very compact.

i also have a msr stow-away pot..kinda heavy though.

depends on where I'm going and what's on the menu..then i decide which one to take”

“I take a pot to boil water and to cook stuff in, if the menu calls for it, plus a frying pan if planning to cook fish. Guess I could just bring the pot. I bring a brown bandana to scrub and/or wipe out the pot(s) and a white one to dry. Just rinse out the brown one in some water. No soap required.”

“Stainless Steel cup. Fits on the bottom of a Nalgene. All ya need. Eat out of a ziplock baggie.”

“I'm still searching for those Ziplocks (the ones that stand up)..... was hoping to find them in my area, but haven't yet. Ah well,..... someday someone will smarten up and supply them!”

“No plates, no cooking in the pot unless it's summer and we're getting silly - wine 'n' stuff. I boil water and pour it over food in my large, rounded insulated cup. I eat it with a lexan spoon (important in winter).”

“I bring pot, but no panz.”

“Just my old aluminum pot and lid. It must be close to 30 years old by now. A scrunge pad cleans it up.

BB, if you need another squirrel skull, stop by my place and take as many as you want.”

“1 Ti pot, 1 Ti mug (a plastic thermal mug in the winter), and 1 Ti spork.”

“Well it seems that I just recv'd an early Birthday present.

I got a MSR Titanium Kettle
It weights 3.2 oz.


So this will be my only pot that I will use!!

:) right stovestomper


ps, I love it!!”

“a cast iron skillet, table top coleman burner with green propane tank, stainless steel knife, fork, and spoon, and a ceramic mug...weight=17lbs...but who's counting. my pack is usually 65 lbs, so its all in proportion.”

“geobeet, didnt they use lead back 30yrs ago in pots and pans?”

“No, that lead was in fishing line sinkers Maple (First thing that goes is your watchamacallit. Second thing to go is your other watchamacallit.).”

“You leave my watchamacalli alone D@MNIT”

“hey guys i have a great stove, really lite .04 oz. its not super high tech but works great and hot, burns denatured alcohol, check it out at antigravitygear.com the guy who sells em came into my work and gave me one for free when he found out i backpacked, i was stoked, but anyway, couple it with a small TI pot and its a superlite combo”

“My current cookset is an Evernew 0.9 L Ti pot/lid with a homemade 1.0 oz windscreen/potstand and a 0.2 oz. mini-grapejuice alcohol burner or sometimes Esbit tablets.
A lexan spoon and plastic cup rounds out the set.”
