Packing light often means finding gear that serves more than one purpose. The TOAKS Titanium 750ml Pot does exactly that. It’s a compact cooking pot that can boil water, prepare a quick meal and store your camping essentials when you’re done.
Made from uncoated titanium, the pot weighs just 86g (3 oz) without its lid, or 103g (3.6 oz) with it. Its 750ml (25.4 fl oz) capacity is enough for a generous hot drink, instant noodles or a simple one-person meal. At just 94mm (3.7 inches) wide internally, it takes up surprisingly little room in a backpack.
But the clever part is what fits inside.
The pot can accommodate a small 110g (3.9 oz) gas canister, with room for certain compact backpacking stoves and a lighter. Your entire cooking setup can travel inside the pot rather than taking up separate pockets in your pack.
TOAKS has also kept the design refreshingly simple. Two folding wire handles sit flush against the body during storage. A matching titanium lid helps retain heat when boiling water. Measurement markings inside the pot make it easier to portion water for dehydrated meals.
There’s no nonstick coating to worry about, either. Titanium resists corrosion and handles outdoor use well. However, its relatively poor heat distribution makes it better suited to boiling than delicate cooking.
The tall, narrow shape is particularly useful for solo backpackers who want to keep their cooking kit compact. It’s less practical for frying or preparing elaborate meals, but that’s not really its purpose.
For a weekend hike or minimalist camping trip, the TOAKS 750ml offers an appealing combination of simplicity, low weight and clever storage. Sometimes the best camping gear is the kind that makes everything else easier to pack.
