The TOAKS Titanium Pots are made from ultralight titanium which is corrosion-resistant and can last for years if looked after. As well as being incredibly light and durable, this pot has a useful feature set consisting of fold away handles, removable bail handle, internal graduation lines and lid with steam holes. The bail handle feature is great as it allows you to collect water easily as well as giving you the option for hanging your pot over an open fire. Note that like all titanium and aluminum cookware, MSR advises that you don’t want to put this one directly on a fire.

While in theory having an item that doubles as a pot and a mug seems pretty great, it does have its downsides. You can’t have a hot drink while you’re waiting for your food to cook and you do need to ensure you’ve wiped the pot out thoroughly after cooking, so that the evening hot drink won’t have nice bits of food floating about in it. However, if you are the sort of person who’s using this item for its multi-functionality, then the chances are you’re not overly worried about these minor concerns. A lightweight cup can be easily obtained for people who do like to prepare a hot drink to have while they then cook their food. Different outdoors people have different Willingness to Carry Weight. That’s why we considered pots of different weights. When it comes to sturdy, high-quality cookware for a reasonable price, TOAKS definitely fits the bill!What we like: designed to nest with each other, folding handles, very compact, everything for 4 people included Lids also reduce splatter. While reducing splatter is a nice feature of a pot in a home kitchen, when you’re in bear country, it’s nice to keep all your smelly food on one pot instead of all over your camp. Aluminum is best for conducting heat (think simmering without burning the bottom of your pan). Even if you’re cooking soup, if it requires a simmer, the aluminum pot can usually handle that job better than titanium (which can get soup chunks burnt to the bottom of the pot). Titanium and aluminum are lightweight, but can warp, dent, and scratch easily. This can really drive some people nuts. The latest version uses Fusion ceramic is tougher than the previous version. It’s not just free of PFOAs but PTFEs.

The only complaint we’ve seen (and it’s true for most Titanium pots except for the MSR Titan) is that the lid doesn’t “snap” into the pot. The lid is fairly loose, which means it’s easy to pull it off. That can be a boon if you’d rather not burn yourself when removing a pot’s lid. But it also means that you’ll need care when draining water. What makes the Toaks Titanium 750 mL our favorite of the vast and sometimes overwhelming Toaks Titanium collection is its compact and convenient shape and size. With the 750 mL, you get a vessel that doubles as a mug and pot. Sometimes, pots can be too pot-like to work well as a mug. They’re too wide to sip from without worrying about dribbling. Meanwhile, sometimes mugs can be too mug-like to work well as a pot. They can be too tall or tippy when boiling water and have stability issues. The Toaks 750 mL is just the right size to work well as both. We’ve tried pots without handles like the original version of the Vargo Bot(a bottle-pot that comes with a screwable lid but no handles). While we appreciate the weight savings, a handle-less design is inconvenient for all but the most gram-saving weenies. The TOAKS Titanium Pots are made from ultralight titanium which is corrosion-resistant and can last for years if looked after. As well as being incredibly light and durable, the pots have a useful feature set consisting of fold away handles, removable bail handle, internal graduation lines and lid with steam holes. External: 4 1/2" (115mm) (Diameter) X 4 3/8" (112mm) (H) (measured with lid and handles folded and bail handle)Another nice feature of the Halulite is that it features liquid measuring lines that are visible on the inside and outside of the pot. They’re measured in ounces (oz) and mL so make it easy to add the correct amount of water to your freeze-dried meal.
