Titanium pot with lid (1.25 l, 164 g)

Key features

• Capacity 1.25 l.
• Weight 164 g, lid included.
• Material titanium.
• Titanium is light and does not rust, but it conducts heat poorly: straight above the flame it gets hotter than at the edge. Boiling water is fine; rice and pasta catch sooner than in aluminium, so stir and turn your stove down.

What you use it for

For cooking solo, or for two if you mostly boil water: 1.25 l is enough for a freeze-dried meal plus coffee, or pasta for one. For bikepacking the 164 g is the argument — less than half a comparable stainless pot.

Use and care

Do not put it empty on a lit stove: titanium is thin and the base discolours permanently where the flame hits. That is cosmetic, but it happens in seconds. Skip the steel wool; a sponge and warm water are enough, and baked-on rice just needs half an hour of soaking.
