Evernew Titanium Pot 1.3L
I bought a new Evernew Titanium Pot (1.3 L)
The Evernew has built in insulated handles that fold in around its base for easy storage and they make the stove easy to handle when you need to melt snow for an hour or more using a white gas stove (blowtorch.) The pot itself has a small pour spout on it’s upper lip that makes it easy to fill water bottles or an insulated mug without spilling boiling water all over yourself. Plus with 1.3 liters of capacity, the Evernew and its top are large enough to fit my MSR Simmerlite Stove, fuel pump, and wind screen and base, compressing down into one compact unit in my winter pack.
Despite costing a premium, I’ve always preferred uncoated Titanium pots over aluminum or steel ones since they’re the lightest weight available and all I ever do is boil water. Titanium is fast to heat up and fairly durable making it a good lightweight option for camping cookware.

I got the .9 liter REI branded Evernew, uncoated, and like it much more than Snowpeak – the lid fits tight enough that you can pour or strain with it. Snowpeak has frypan lids that sit loosely, and that extra handle doesn’t help.
I’ve used one of these for over 10 years, but still can’t really fry in it without working very had not burn food in it. But it is the “heart” of my Kitchen and being as I want every item in my pack to have multiple uses this one has easily filled out that requirement, from digging “Cat Holes” to Melting Snow, to frying small cut up pieces of Trout, to Collecting Berries, catching rain water, catching drips in a leaking tent, to bailing out a canoe, and the added benefit of having Handles which saves me the weight and loss of space of having to carry an “Extra” Pot Handle makes this an “A” number one item in my pack…
I just bought the same pot with a non-stick finish, re-labelled with the REI brand, for cooking, mainly in winter. Easy clean up with paper towels or pita bread. http://www.rei.com/product/764182
