    Will the micro pot nestle in the mini? (Without its handle or lid if need be). Seems like it would be a useful variation and fill an unused space. (Nice to be able to make brew or two and cook at approximately the same time without washing up).

  • @OffTheBeatenPot
    @OffTheBeatenPot11 күн бұрын

    Unfortunately not. It is too tall. But you could use a strap or a band as it will fit (diameter wise). It would negate the nice ‘clip on’ lid of the mini and make it all generally bigger.

    An asian channel showed making rice in titanium, by placing a neatly cut out disk from a tin can in between the titanium rice pot and the flame, as a heat diffuser. I tried this, and it works fantastic. I have also tried frying in a titanium frying pan. I figured out that very low heat was my best bet for that.

Most meals will be written for gluten tolerant people but when there is an alternative it will always be mentioned. The same with meat/ dairy etc.

    2:49 Wrong. Titanium is much worse than steel or aluminium at conducting heat. That is why users often complain about hot spots in their titanium pots and pans. Titanium also cools off much quicker because of this. It's much easier to burn your food in a titanium pan because of the low conductivity.

    That set-up is similar to the Evernew Appalachian Set with a few significant differences. The Evernew set is titanium and weighs 200 Grams. The burner stand can take Esbit tablets, twigs, or the spirit burner. It is really efficient in it's use of fuel and a bit better wind protected. 500ml pot is rimmed to fit the stand. If I had your Trangia set I wouldn't switch, but I do have the Evernew and won't switch.

My aim is to help people that want to cook better in the outdoors. Not everyone can, or wants to do it in a purely ‘bushcrafty’ way. The more you know, the less you need right? Well I don’t know much about surviving in the outdoors. So I need more stuff. And there are many people in this situation. My journey is to help people to cook a little more outdoors. Yes. I’m quite a way from my house in this video. A few miles. I can’t go on massive adventures much as I have a son with a high level of need. So I only get a few hours a week to do this.
