Two Person Cooking Pot System

my choice setup is a toaks 1350ml with bail and a snowpeak bowl.  The bowl fits perfectly inside.  I am a big eater and when I camp, eating at different destinations is half the reason I’m out there.

The toaks 1350ml may seem heavy, but if you buy titanium wire and rod to swap the bail and handles, and stainless steel shim for a lid it comes down to 3.4oz considering a 550ml without handles is 1.5oz, not a bag weight to volume ratio if you’re going to use it

Not the cheapest route, but I have settled on 3 Ti post for 2 people.

I use an Evernew UL 900/ 1300 ML set for summer (8.2 oz ) and then use the. same 1300 with a 2000 ML Snow Peak “Cook and Save’ Pot for winter use(12 oz)  .

I use a SP Ti 900 for cookpot and carry a SP Ti bowl for daughter or wife.

Pot goes on kovea spider, stove, wind screen and fuel all fit in pot. pot sits in bowl

all go in cuben stuff sack.

Depends on the situation. My favourite for 2 people is my Ti Tri Sidewinder with a 1300 Evernew pot, or sometimes a Kovea Spider remote stove. When going solo and slumming it I use a MYOG beer can stove with thin Ti foil windshield and a 650 ml mug/pot.

I use a 1.7qt aluminum pot from a set I got about 35 years ago. It weighs about 5-3/4oz. I also use two aluminum 12oz cups. These weigh 1-5/8oz each. I believe these were 25cent specials back when Mirro still made them. I believe Stansport or Texsport still sells an 11oz version of these. A wrap or two of duct tape will last well as a heat shield on the handle.

I use an Evernew 900ml pot when my wife comes with me. It works fine for freezer bag cooking for two but I would want something larger if I was going to cook.

I use a 550ml pot solo.

I already owned a Caldera Cone Keg-F (Foster’s pot) system for solo trips, so when my daughter wanted to start joining me on trips I got a 32oz/950ml beer can pot (Conquistador) from Zelph and can use the same basic cook kit and just switch out the pots. It fits inside the plastic caddy that comes with the Keg-F system. Just the pot, stove and cone weigh 3oz, and I’m still under 8oz for pot, stove, cone, caddy (use as two bowls or bowl+mug), DIY cozies, and carbon felt wrap to insulate the pot that sits above the cone.

My GF and I carry a GSI halulite kettle and the GSI minimalist cooking mug. I added measuring lines to the minimalist cup. We have our own seperate utensils as the foldup ones are crap. We also have a thin plastic dinner plate they sell at walmart, I think it’s coleman?

Generally we eat Mountain house style meals and rehydrate directly out of the pouch and we eat directly from the pouch.

I’ll fill the entire kettle with water and let it boil, then measure out the correct amount and add to the pouch. Then fill the mug to make coffee or tea or hot chocolate, enjoyed in the minimalist with cozy and lid.

The remaining water is good for washing hands, and then cleanup. I find the kettle boils faster than regular pots do.

I really like the GSI Microdualist kit. It includes a 1.4L aluminium pot (with no non-stick coating), strainer lid, 2 bowls, 2 mugs w/sip-it lids and cozys, 2 sporks and a storage bag that also serves as a water bowl.

I can fit a small fuel canister with my remote canister stove and everything nests together beautifully.  I toss the sporks that come with the set and use a long handle TI spoon (the only thing that doesn’t fit in the pot).

The 1.4L pot with lid = 7.1oz.  You can leave a set of cups home and save 3.2 oz.

My wife and I use a Toaks 1.3l pot and the cook-in bags from pack it gourmet. The 1.3l provides just enough capacity for any dehydrated meal we have made. We also each carry the GSI Infinity mug which is great as it has a closable lid to keep bugs out. We only boil water in the pot and only eat out of the bags. This saves us from cleaning anything. The mugs are used for coffee, mixed drinks, etc.
