Definitely recyclable and BPL worthy.

The conversion of 12 grams equals 0.423287 ounces. Package of 3 for about $7 (2.20 British Pounds).
These are the cuben fiber of cookware.
You can subscribe to the Planet Fear newsletter and they have some pretty cool stuff sometimes.

Do you have some of these?Jan 21, 2008 at 10:07 am #1417002No, I don't have any of these. I cruise their site every once in a while and noticed these. They have good reviews sometimes and some decent lightweight gear. They used to carry the OMM packs, I was checking those out before I bought my first UL pack.
They carry the balloon bed as well.
I will probably order a set of the pans once summer gets closer.

Or, buy them by the thousand?

Jan 22, 2008 at 12:17 pm #1417210Something for BPL to source in?
Jan 22, 2008 at 2:20 pm #1417231I have zero involvement in gear shop decisions, but I could imagine there being potential interest in something like this–perhaps mixed-size sets considering the dozens of sizes and shapes available. Now, where the heck are the titanium versions? ;-)
Jan 22, 2008 at 3:09 pm #1417238How the heck would you pack a 'pot' like that without munting it?
Jan 23, 2008 at 11:16 am #1417346But I can't come up with a definition for munting, so I'll presume it's Kiwispeak for mangling or some other transitive verb indicating you've crushed your little aluminum foil pot.
I'm not sure, other than after a comic pause saying, "Very carefully." It would probably need to go inside something rigid (a bowl, your "other" cookpot?) or have something carefully packed inside to fend off the other packed items.
Shaving those last few possible grams is a real challenge; ask NASA.
Jan 23, 2008 at 11:27 am #1417350Oops, I guess I should stick to international english when posting. Munt, munted, munting are indeed all slang;

Picture is worth a thousand words.
Those 'pots' look so fragile that I would rather go cook free rather than try to keep them from getting crushed in my pack. But I can see the appeal to the extremists…
