I switched all my camping cookware over to Titanium to help being Ultralight. It's light weight and cools quicker then anything else. My frying pan is a non stick one from Evernew and my cook set is the complete Evernew Appalachian set. Even my grill is in titanium from Vargo. The coffee filter is titanium from Vargo and the coffee cup is titanium from Toaks , 750 ml cup. Frying foods with titanium you have to use a lower heat setting then with anything else. Pancakes or eggs are in the frying pan ( even pizzas ) , meat is normally done on the grill and water in the cup or the "T" Kettle ( Keith titanium ). All or parts go on trips depending where I'm going.

I think the aluminum pots and pans are the way to go if you need the lightweight, we use a couple of plain aluminum billys for boiling water and cooking and are very happy with them👍 Cheers Daryl

My favourite is the Stanley frying pan. Stainless with a laminated aluminium base. Not light but the heat distribution is fantastic, cooks scrambled eggs and pancakes with ease. Worth the extra weight.

I think titanium is a fantastic option for most things such as canteens/water bottles, utensils, plates, etc. But for anything going directly on the fire like a pan/skillet or a nesting canteen cup, I prefer stainless steel even despite the weight penalty. And, at least for me, we're talking very few bits of a whole kit needing to be stainless.

Absolutely, the only aluminum camp cooking item I use is a GSI pressure cooker. I use it for home use as well, been 10 years and it still performs like new. It's also great for high altitude trips.

Great advice for anyone who doesn't mind aluminium for cooking, I personally outright refuse to use aluminium for anything that will touch food or boil water so titanium and stainless is all I will use, I use a combination of both and cook and boil from a gas stove or over coals. Titanium in my experience is extremely non stick and easy to clean, but I'm not an ultralight person so I have no issues carrying a bit extra weight to throw my stainless frying pan and lid in my bag. I think people are too concerned with weight saving these days, I'm not a big or particularly strong man and even when carrying far more gear than I'd ever need the weight has never once been an issue even on very long hikes, the bulk is the only problem for me and you get that no matter what materials your carrying.

What most people who have an irrational fear of aluminium pots fail to recognise is that for camping purposes the aluminium is usually anodised these days, and thus the food or liquid never touches raw aluminium. But if they wish to, they can always raise their concerns with the myriad makers of aluminium cookware, or indeed their government, you know, the ones which convinced them that the covid jabs were safe and effective, which have clouded their judgment further, or so it would appear. Bear in mind too - everyone who has ever eaten an organic carrot will die, just as dead as if the carrot was not grown organically. 😊

Great point. I gave up all my 3 titanium fry pans and used them as a food steamer, not working for me at all for frying and works best for liquid boil.

However, if the anodized surface is scratched or damaged, the underlying aluminum may be exposed and leach into food, potentially leading to aluminum toxicity."

Raising titanium off direct heat just an inch or so is enough to give the entire surface an even amount of heat and in this scenario, I find Titanium perfect because that heat efficiency going directly through the material to food is perfect. If I can't raise it off direct heat source, then the only thing I use is steel now.

If you wondering how aluminum can stand heat, is good example: disposable coal grills are made from aluminum. Nowdays I use steel or aluminum cookware in home and in camping.

Nice info. BTW, what about stainless steel pans?

elevating over the fire is key. you can cook with titanium, but it's a very hands on process. you have to constantly regulate the temperature by moving the pan away from the heat source. Not the most convenient way of cooking.

You absolute ripper, I was considering splurging a bit to save weight in my bag, & not having a lot of spare cash means that I am _very_ grateful indeed to you for having rescued me from wasting my precious on what would, it seems, be just getting stuck with a miserable cooking experience. And I do like to _cook_ - even hiking, I enjoy coming up with creative 1-pan 0-chiller meals (e.g. my "trail stroganoff" uses biltong for the steak - you simmer+drain it twice separately beforehand to bleed off some of the salt - dried mushrooms from an Asian grocer, & powdered milk in place of the sour cream; light as billy-o in the bag, & surprisingly good eating), rather than simply rehydrating or heating stuff. I'll save it for my dinnerware, + a single narrow water-pot, & just keep with good ol', cheap 'n' cheerful aluminium for my cooking equipment. Thanks for spilling the Ti, boss. 😉

For me, i use titanium for anything thats boiling or stewing. Pots, nesting cups, canteen cups, sierra cups, etc. But any sort of frying or baking is steel. Safer and tougher than aluminum, but not as good as steel. But to make a soup, or boil water for tea, titanium works just fine. Also looking to find a titanium russian shovel.

The Fry-Bake is probably the best lightweight pan you can buy for backpacking. I only buy titanium products that are for other things besides heating food. The titanium cups and pots are excellent If all you’re doing is boiling water.

I think we still have titanium as a winner....given the discussions below. Even cooking on a household stove with the wife's cookware requires heat regulation...and she will tel you what you did wrong if there is food stuck to the bottom....so she is a built in instruction manual. Nothing competes with real-time behavior correction.

With current trends in cookware towards multi-ply, it seems they could easily make Titanium cookware with a multi ply pancake on the bottom to solve the heat distribution problem, yet retain lighter, more durable cookware. I'm thinking sandwich copper between layers of aluminum then Titanium, basically replacing stainless steel layers with Titanium, making a 5 ply stronger and lighter than current cookware..

I'm looking at going back to stainless steel. maybe heavier, but a much better cooking experience All the best Clive

If it is heat from wood/charcoal burning, spread the coal wide and constantly move the ti pan until you master the proper heat level by adjusting the amount of hot coal, the distance between ti pan and coal etc. If you are using the stove, the pattern and size of the flame and the size of your ti pot make a lot of difference. A flame that spread wider and ti pot/pan with wider bottom cooks better. If you are using a concentrated flame type, ie, BRS ti 25gram stove or MSR pocket rocket, then unless you use a diffuser, it will be a challenge to cook besides boiling water. but cooking delicious soup is still possible. Hint, be patient with lower heat and constantly move the cookware and stir the food, everything is possible. Happy camping!

I am never letting the steak sit in the same spot for more than 8 seconds I am always keeping the steak moving in the pan, if it’s smokes too much I hold it off the flame and keep it moving and flip the piece of meat, I must’ve flipped it at least a dozen times and even cook it up on its edges, the steak was sitting out for hours so it was room temperature. Final verdict, it worked and I had a perfectly medium rare steak, since there was no salt or pepper I did taste a definite searing from the pan but it is palatable, after adding salt and pepper its perfect.

Yes, non sticking aluminum could give you a better cooking experience, but if exposed directly to flames or a lot of heat it becomes toxic, while titanium won't. Reading the comments seems that steel whit a layer of aluminum gives the best cooking experience. You just adds a little extra weight.

Titanium is a terrible surface to cook on, as is aluminium, and the weight 'savings' you're getting are minimal in the grand scheme of your entire backpack contents.. I literally just went to Coles and bought a 24cm Tefal non-stick frying pan and I simply use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the handle when I pack it in my bag - it takes about 60 seconds to screw back on.. I'm always the envy of those around me when I pull it out and cook fish, steak or eggs etc. without a single thing sticking to it... I've even left the handle off (used a pot grabber instead) and cooked in it over a low/weak campfire and a Bushbox XL stove and the soot on the bottom cleans off with a damp sponge.

Just use a small aluminium pan u can buy anywhere, they cost under $5, weigh nothing, the non stick actually works properly, the only downside is the handle but if chucking in a rucksack does it really matter.

I cook on a fire often and use aluminium and titanium but scrape out some hot coals to cook on so not to damage the cookware and have great success with both but find it easier with the aluminium pan compared to the titanium. I use a 750ml titanium pot in my kit and it works 👍 Yes the Australian police and government have gone way overboard with their response to covid but the Australian people will remember and vote accordingly 😉

You’ve just talked about the size rather than the material…

Yeah to an extent it's not good for you no doubt but most are hard anodized these day's so that's not really a problem anymore. Cheers Daryl

@@Outdoorsaustralia Well that's GOOD 2 hear!

The TRUTH has finally been told...I don't own any Titanium...but I've seen an awful lot of videos when they cook on them to pattern out the truth you have just told. Anybody wants to send me one for free to test out to change my mind, I am willing...lol.

Lol aluminum is toxic, not even an option in my book.

You need to get "hard anodised" aluminium cookware as its non toxic.

Never use aluminium cookware. It's terrible. Just don't do it.
