OMG!!! The video started very nice, them you started to scratching that nonstick with a metal fork and to top that to clean that pan throws dirt in them...🤔 WTF man, how many uses you get from that pan before its became unusable? That's completely wrong...

Don't think it's going to be non stick for long, metal spoon right off lol

I love titanium also. To clean your nonstick surface like that it is best to put some water in the pan and put it back on the fire bring it to boil and then use a flat wooden implement. The food will come right off. That way you’re not ruining the pan. That is Extremely important with anodized aluminum. Be blessed. John

you really do not want to use metal on your non~stitch cause your spork WILL scratch the coating off . You could make a spatula really fast out of a fork from a tree ....

I bought a wooden set for cheap. Works nice.

I have several videos on my channel that demonstrate how to clean kitchen items out in the woods. I use an old eye drops bottle and fill it half way with dish soap and use a small piece of green scouring pad to wash my pot or pan out in the field. It leaves your hands and pots sanitary and clean and takes little more time than your dirt method. For multi-day excursions, it's quite easy and little water is needed to rinse. As for those Titanium items, pant, pant. I'd love to have a set. Thanks for the review.

Cool demo Ben! Thanks for using the Firebox Stove! Cheers!

FireboxStove any news on a Ti version? I had inquired about this a while back and you were aware of the situation and working on it. Thanks Steve.

I got the uncoated pan. I used flax seed oil to season it in the oven. Gave it four coats. It’s more non stick than Teflon now.

They make great titanium products. Price is on par with other manufacturers. Good demo Ben. Cheers till the next one!

So to this day what is your favourite frying pan to use for backpacking? I’d like one for backpacking that is big enough to cook small trout in. But also non toxic and light weight. That keith pan looks amazing. Have you been happy with it? Or other recommendations?

I really liked that cook. Will be looking for it. Thanks.

If you scratch non stick surface then forget about it!

Your cooking skills match so well your cleaning methods ... Hmmm

Thanks for another informative video man. A lot of folks have asked Toaks or Keith? I have one better, Keith or Evernew Ti products? You were all in several months ago with Evernew, has thought process changed? Both have the long handles of which you like. One is made in Japan (Evernew, I believe), the other China. Curious to your thoughts now. Several months ago I asked you regarding Toaks vs. Evernew and you told me definitely Evernew? I have NOT pulled the trigger just yet, but I plan on this for Spring/Summer hiking. I have always purchased based on your recommendation. Thanks Ben.

Evernew and Keith seem the same level of quality for titanium. For me instead of calling one better than the other I pick products from both that suit my needs. I like the nesting pot set from Evernew but like the larger keith pot with bowls since it works well with my firebox and keith canteen set. Plus I can nest them all. SO I think building your own kit from these brands is a good idea.

The biggest issue isn't that it shortens the life of you cookware, its that small bits of the teflon (and whatever other chemicals are in the non-stick coating) flake off and you ingest them. There is lots and lots of research that points to this stuff causing all kinds of long-term issues when ingested.

I know that in terms of cooking , it is the best to cook in stainless steel cause it will not burn the food . I have snow peak titanium cookware but I prefer the stainless steel for that reason. I would recommend to use a wooden tools when you use non stick coating....otherwise it will ruin it fast.

It's a real shame you couldn't test out the regular version of the pan, because I've been considering it myself. Non-stick is great, until it starts to flake, then it becomes unsafe to use. I'm very hard on my cookware, it goes directly over coals or flames. I'm not sure the non-stick would last in those conditions!

Ernest, for $260 you can get a Heavy Cover (with two lid options) and a far better canteen cover (Mother Canteen Carrier) than what they offer.

That Mother Canteen Carrier is very built like a tank and just solid--it's expensive at a $106 I believe--the set-up will last you a very long time. I believe both Ben and Black Scout Survival did a review of this and gave it a huge thumbs up. I'm not sure with Ben, but I know Black Scout did a review and was stoked about it. Ben owns the Mother Canteen Carrier I believe--could be wrong.

I saw a video of a Japanese man that use a scott towel and put it inside the pan. Then he put a little cooking oil, and the egg. Once cook, you remove the scott towel with the egg inside and eat it with a plate. No cleaning of the pan! :)

I'm down with using pine needles and sand to clean pots and pans , but that is a quick way to fuck up the non stick. Better to use a soft scrubbie after getting most of the junk out with a paper towel. And a metal sporks fucks up non stick too. Non stick needs wood, plastic or high temp silicone nor metal sporks.
