Hi folks, I am looking for recommendations for a pot for Melting snow and group cooking for 4-6 people. I already have Stoic 1.3 litre titanium pot but only really good for 2. The reason I mention REI as I have a 20$ voucher for their. Also is their much saving to get a TI vs Aluminum one, also is non stick worth it. It will mainly be used for snow melting, cooking pasta and heating stews and the likes. Cheers, Stephen ***got a open country pot***
The Open Country 4qt pot fits your budget and would be okay for pasta, but once you start cooking stuff in it over a hot little burner, cleanup is an issue. GSI makes several Halulite pots in 2.2/3.2/4.7 liters in the mid-$30 range (check Amazon http://www.amazon.com/GSI-Outdoors-Halulite-Pot/dp/B00K2JIIKI ). The inexpensive and heavy option for nonstick would be to buy a nonstick aluminum cookpot made for home kitchen use. If you wanted to reheat a stew, a freezer bag in a water bath would help on cleanup.
Cheers Dale, The 4 quart one looks just the job, I will order that one. Good tip on the freezer abg :-) Enjoy the rest of your sunday.
If you wanted to reheat a stew, a freezer bag in a water bath would help on cleanup. That can work … but be careful. Ever since I melted a freezer bag containing nice hearty ham/bean soup I've waited until the water got up to near boiling temp then turned the stove output down before placing the bag/food in. An alternative could be to devise a way to keep the bag from touching the bottom and sides of the pot so there's no chance of contacting anything hotter than water's boiling point.
Thanks for the heads up on that James.
