Review on 🍳 TOAKS Titanium 1600ml Pot with Pan: Efficient Camping Cookware Essential by Brant Watson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good option for two tourists

Great option for two adult tourists. I would down a size or two - possibly down to an 1100ml size - if I was going out on my own regularly and still wanted a pan. Not so much because of the weight, but because I want to reduce the volume in my backpack. Pros: - Conveniently fits two full servings at a meal. For example, 2 boxes of ready-made Mac & Cheese would fill two-thirds to three-fourths of the pot. You still need to be sensible about the amount of water used to cook 2 boxes of pasta together. There's enough room for enough water, but that makes it a little more likely to boil over. We're more likely to err when we're using just enough water to get the job done. - Check out some good reviews on YouTube with size comparisons. - Works great with my compact Coleman dual fuel single burner stove. The burner is wide enough to support the entire pot well, and the burner's wide ring spreads the heat more evenly over the thin metal. The pan is wide enough to roast the halved bacon slices. It also frys 3-4 eggs at a time: 2 eggs lightly, 4 eggs firm. When the cooker is in simmer mode, frying eggs and bacon is easy. I start with the bacon, stirring/turning it frequently to get a decent layer of bacon grease on the bottom of the pan. Once there is enough fat from the bacon, the bacon will be fried with little to no sticking. With lots of bacon, I cook the eggs the same way, letting them float/cook on top of the bacon so they don't stick too much. I also grab the pan by the handle and move it around to heat where I need it or spread the fat off the bacon where I want it. β€” My July 2016 purchase has graduations in ounces and milliliters. β€” The cleaning is adequate. The bottom of the pot and pot have smooth curves to prevent food from getting stuck. Food separates pretty well if you boil some water in a saucepan or saucepan. - I can use my TOAKS titanium spatula, but it's a bit short. - The handles on the pot overlap for a more secure grip. - The handles are removable. - It offers a lot of storage space. Welds, coffee, creamer, eggs, coffee filters, napkins, etc. Cons: - The saucepan does not fit well with the saucepan as a lid. It is not a secure fit and will move. It can easily come off completely (because the metal is slippery) and fall to the ground. Sometimes we turn the pot upside down and put it on the side with the smaller diameter as a lid - like a cork. So he will go into the pan a little. It does its job just as well, with far less risk of the pan falling on the floor. Because the pan doesn't snap into place, it doesn't stay together in my backpack unless a storage bag holds it. - The pot does not fit in the pot. - The handles get a little hot when the stove is at a high temperature and the heat builds up on the sides of the pot or pan. Useful paper towel, bandana or buff. When the stove is boiling, I can touch the bare handles. It's a thin metal, so heat transfer is almost instantaneous. It is good for boiling water but not for boiling/stewing. We resort to heat control by taking a pot or pan and moving it to or from the fire as needed. It's all a compromise.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Good but not great
