I have the original Snow Peak solo mini cookset, I love it. It nests all together with a 40oz Klean Kanteen, I ended up getting the 2nd gen, as well as the SNOW PEAK TREK 700 to nest with the other 40oz klean kanteen. I pulled the trigger on 2-450 ml toaks as well as the 750ml with no bail.. I needed to replace those stainless steel GSI nesting cups(They are now in my kit for my car) and I needed to get decent cook sets

Great pot set using the three of them. Love how they all nest.

have you had any problem whit food sticking in the toaks pots ?

Just ordered this 1.600 ml. cookware kit and you have just reassured me that I made a good purchase. I was looking for a kit large enough to fit my Tentock Camping Cookware Outdoor Windproof Cooking Pot Stove Set inside of it. I just don't like the idea of cooking in aluminum cookware for health's sake. I plan on only throwing the stove portion inside of it and cooking in the Toaks 1,600 ml. titanium cookware. This way, I increase the cooking capacity, all the while using a safe cooking metal while still keeping everything in a compact unit. The light weight isn't the reason I bought this set, but that's just icing on the cake. Since I won't be using the pot part of the Tentock cookware, I'll be able to store all my fire starting gear inside of the larger titanium pot as well as some other odds and ends. Frankly, I'm surprised the price for such a large titanium pot and pan set isn't much higher. From the looks of it, I'll be able to use the Tentock stove with the included alcohol burner, or as a wood burning stove which would give me more options.

hey bro, great vid, which stove is that? I got the firebox 5inch, i think yours looks taller.

Toaks also makes a Ti wood gasifier stove. I nest the 450ml cup inside the stove inside the 1100ml pot with lid and bail inside the 1600ml pot with bail and the pan with the 1600's lid under the pot. But I decide how much of that to leave before I go. They also make an 8"± (20cm) plate which could double as a frying pan using Mike McQ's improvised stick-handle.

I use an Esbit 750 Ti cup/pot. Except for the bail it looks identical to the Toaks, to the point where I suspect they are made from the same dies in the same factory somewhere. The only thing I miss with it is the lack of measurement markings. I dealt with that by putting small notches in the side of the handle of the spoon I carry. One notch for every 200ml. (when stuck in bowl side up)

@livingsurvival

Awesome tip because I too miss the markings. And I don't doubt they are the same cup/pot just re-branded.

Living Survival It's odd that the feature I like best is the shape of the handle. When drinking hot beverages, that bend in the bottom to hold your third finger means being able to enjoy your coffee without having to worry about burning your knuckles if you relax your grip. Silly, I know, but it's just comfortable to drink with.

good video! where did you got the orange protecting bag?

An easier way to cook your eggs is to boil some water (snow), which you did, break your eggs (leave whole or scramble) into a heavy duty freezer bag and then lower the bag into the boiling water. They cook pretty quickly and there's no mess. Simply rinse the bag out with the leftover water and reuse. You can also use this method with chopped vegetables, either raw or cooked (softened), scramble some eggs or put them in whole and mix them in the bag by stirring the ingredients or sealing the bag and shaking, put bag into boiling and cook. Instant omelette.

Do you have scorching problems due to the high heating efficiency of titanium?

Gonna have to get the Toaks Fry Pan Pot set. I've got the 750 ml Cup/Pot and love it. I got hungry watching this one. You need to warn us! For some reason food cooked outdoors always tastes better.

Pendejo Both really the same, the firebox has an extended grill plate you can get but like the feed slot for the bushbox a little better.

Does that toaks pot fit the nalgene 38oz or the 32oz or does it fit both.

can a small fuel canister fit in the cup? or is the cup too small?

I have the same Toaks set up as you, except no bail handle. My only criticism of the Toaks is no measurement markers inside. I just purchased a stainless steel cup with the markers instead.

How do you keep Eggs in the bush my dude

I like that pot with the pan. But I wish they made that model with a bail handle. I don't carry a stove box. I grew up not using one, and they just seem gimmicy to me. I can save pack weight by making an open fire and hanging my pot over it. I'm a bushcrafter, and I often pack "tool heavy", but I try to save weight wherever possible. Carrying a stove is just pointless to me, living up in the north where no one cares if you build an open fire.

And where I camp/bushcraft it would be too much of a hike/hassle for forest rangers or police to get to me, lol. I'll eventually break down and buy an alcohol stove or fire box for my Go Bag in case I HAVE TO go to an area where they don't permit open fires. I'm thinking of getting a titanium pot that will fit over my normal pot, and turning it into a stove (drilling holes in it and all). But being able to put my normal cooking pot inside, it won't take up any more pack space.

+gamesbok wow my Original comment is close to a year old, I did buy the Chinese knockoff version and am very happy to own the set, the stove when stowed in its stuff sac fits perfectly inside the smaller pot of the two pot set added a fork, knife, spoon set, a lighter, a matchbox and a little tinder and I have a complete cooking system fitted inside a cook set. The only way I could have been happier for the money paid would have been if the pot stand allowed for feeding the fire while cooking.

You did not show filling the pot with snow... DID you add water to the pot before filling it with snow? To all noobs, always add a little water to your pot before you add the snow for melting. Snow will scorch if you don't.

Titanium is stupid. Aluminum is lighter, conducts heat much better than titanium and is very much cheaper. As PT Barnum said, "There is a fool born every second". Using stainless steel as 1.0 standard. Titanium weighs .6lb and aluminum weighs .4lb Of the 3, titanium conducts heat most poorly, then stainless steel. By far the best heat conductor is Aluminum.
