Stainless steel seal-able pot

Wow, nice detective work! It won’t have the cross threading or pressure issues the Vargo does either.

Very nice. Link?

Google ” Stainless Bento” on amazon and ebay for more variations…

Thanks… sorry I missed it. It’s early!

That’s ideal for cooking in Plein Air… grin.

I bought a Keith Titanium .9L pot that also solves the issues that plague the Vargo BOT. Weighs 7.7 oz. on my cheapo kitchen scale. Comes with a nice cozy (1.2 oz). Much more expensive than Jon’s find though!

Here is a quick demo video

At about 9 oz you can get a 1 l SS sealable pot :

I was trying to find out a type, in aluminium I think,  that we had at home when growing up…

Oh so funny, I’m a painter, have one, too heavy. Only for car expeditions for me…Holds turpentine well. Didn’t think the ultralight crowd would like ss. Talenti works fine for me hydrating food. but then I’m going stoveless.

The main advantage to a metal pot that can be sealed is the ability to cold soak and cook in the same pot.  I made a chicken & wild rice with orange zest and crystallized ginger cubes for lunch yesterday.  If you cold soak wild rice for a few hours, you can cut the cooking time in half.  Since we have a fuel efficient simmering system, I just cooked it normally (mainly because I was hungry).

And you can dry bake in it….

Call me a chespskate if you like but I cold soak meals in a plastic 40 oz peanut butter jar with a glued in silicone gasket from the hardware store plumbing section. Total cost was $6.00.  When it doesn’t have food in it, it becomes a 1L+ water bottle and other uses.

I agree, I usually soak soak in a ziplok freezer bag or light plastic,sealable container.  The paint bucket is a low cost option compared to the Vargo BOT or Keith rice maker, both about $100.  My 2 cents.
