Alpkit Heads Up.

[Quixoticgeek]

Just a heads up that Alpkit are about to revamp their cookware/stove range, so are doing their mytipot for 25% off. Now 30 quid rather than 40. 

No connection, not tried the pot myself, but thought it may be of interest to some people here.

I saw that. I wondered about the size. I saw the volume stated but its hard to get an actual idea of how big that is, at least in my head!

I sold mine

I dont like cooking with Ti myself. Worse than mess tins. The only weight you will save is from elbow grease. Cleaning it !

For the record i have 2 MSR titan kettles, and my £3.50 non stick with lid pot is my go to pot.

I've got mytipot and to be honest don't like the pan/lid handle, the wire handle don't have 'stoppers' on on the wire ends and usually you'll end up removing it from sockets rather than fold/unfold, but this could be done on your own so no biggie, just a lil' bit of diy i guess

I've had the whole range and the big one is same excellent quality as the rest of Alpkit titaniumware. The only problem with the big one is that with this capacity you are mowing from "just boiling water" area in to "proper cooking". And those pots burn most of the foods. I couldn't even reheat spaghetti in that big pot (wide butane burner) so in my opinion the 450ml is a great cup, 750ml is a good water boiling vessel, the 1380ml pot is only usefull if you need a big water container or don't mind a lot of effort to cook something... But everybody likes titanium
