Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
This pot cooks really fast. It conducts heat very well but if you don't want to burn your food I'd suggest you start out with a smaller flame.. I ended up charing my food causing it to really stick to the nonstick pot. In the end it was really good at boiling water.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
I read a lot of reviews before buying this pot. I guess you could say I had mixed feelings after seeing what everyone wrote. REI just had a 30% off coupon for the month of december. This set was already on clearance, so I decided to give it a try.
These pots are really light for what they are. They fit inside eachother nicely, I also had room for a 220g canister, stove, box of matches and little bag of delicious seasonings and spices.
So far they have proven to be an amazing set. The titanium is very thin and transfers heat instantly (good for boiling water). I do see how you could burn meat on the pan, I just use this to boil water...
I originally bought this set for my girlfriend and I, but if I go solo I would just leave the bigger pot/pan at home since everything fits into the smaller pot.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
Don't try to make pancakes using this cook set, it does not turn out pretty. Otherwise, it was what I expected, light & compact, kind of flimsy, great at boiling water.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
Because these pans are so light, you cannot leave them to Simmer, sit, or be unwatched for a period of time.They need constant attention so as not not to burn your food, or have a hard clean up. I cooked eggs in my small pan and they cleaned up in seconds. They are light, compactable, and I'm glad I didn't get msr because they were my first choice before getting these. Good pots rei.l

like a lot of the other reviewers, the surface of both my pot and pan burned/seared on the first use of a multi-day bicycle tour - too bad, since it really is crazy light.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
My husband and I received this set as a wedding present off our registry. We picked it for its light weight and compact design. For Memorial Day weekend, we went car camping and tested our new cook gear (larger pan/lid and Jetboil Sol stove) by cooking link sausages and potatoes for breakfast. As cook that morning, I was incredibly disappointed.
First thing I noticed was the uneven heat distribution. The sausages browned it seems only in the middle of the pan. I found myself constantly moving the links in order for all to cook. The Jetboil was on the lowest trickle of fuel that would maintain a flame.
Next I noticed the food sticking to the pan in the hot spot. I was surprised since I intended to use the grease from the sausages to cook the potatoes. Because the food was sticking, burn marks began to form. Luckily the sausages were still edible. I made an attempt at the potatoes after using some margarine to grease the pan. The margarine melted and quickly burned up. We didn't get much starch that morning.
After cleaning the set, I noticed scratch marks from our spatula on the inside of the pan. The burn mark remains.
REI's products are usually just as good as the name brand products; however, this set failed to deliver. We will mostly likely return the set in exchange for another brand in Titanium.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
Used the pots/pans/plates for eggs, potatoes, soup, coffee, noodles, bacon, onion, etc. . .never had a problem with a stick. I used spray and did not use spray, same difference. Used on open flame and on a controlled flame. No probs. . .Don't understand the "nonstick" comments.
Is SUPER SUPER lightweight and can fit my soap, sponge, can opener, 2 sporks, cloth, and coffee inside. They fold up super nicely.
Only problem (minimal) is the handles could be a tad bit longer, especially on the biggest pot, as the added weight makes the handling difficult and non confidence inducing. . .
If your a minimalist or just want the pots/pans/plates/extra storage space
DONT WAIT!!!

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
First use boiling water left a black, scorched, nubby carbon-like residue that is impossible to remove. Enjoy drinking that. Results may be better above a more even flame but this is intended for use in a lightweight setup that would most likely include a pocket-style burner element, right?

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
This cookset works very well for me as a backpacking set -- crazy light and mostly non-stick. I have a poor opinion of nonstick cookware in general, and i find these pots to perform somewhat better than 'average' nonstick stuff (both camp and home cookware). My meals are very simple and generally involve boiling water on "afterburner" setting with a Whisperlite, then adding all the stuff and possibly - if i feel very fancy - simmering for a bit. By its nature, ultralight kit is going to be awful for heat distribution, but it'll boil water like gangbusters. Sometimes it warps a bit when hot but always seems to return to the original shape when cool - which it does very quickly once empty. That's nice for getting out of camp quickly in the mornings.
The two true shortcomings of this set are:
#1: The pouring notch in the pot rims, while very thoughtful and effective, is only for righties. Lefties must use their non-dominant hand for pouring, which wouldn't be so bad except for...
#2: The handle insulators are "squirmy". I can't think of anything that could have been done to those handles that would have given a less controllable or secure grip. Not confidence inspiring!

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:
This cook set was a good idea. However, the frying pans can be used as lids for the pots but that's about it. Titanium doesn't displace heat good and you end up with a hot spot in the middle. I tried cooking eggs with them in my kitchen using my pocket stove. Perfect conditions, lowest possible heat, pleanty of non-stick spray, tending to it the whole time, holding the pan high and I still couldn't keep it from scorching in the middle.
