Lighten your load and keep kitchen cleanup to a minimum with the REI Ti Ware™ nonstick titanium cookset.

Lighter than steel and stronger than aluminum, corrosion-resistant, chemically non-reactive titanium conducts heat efficiently
Extra-thick silicon ceramic coating is superior, passing tests for heat, corrosion, frying and scratch-resistant hardness
Rounded bottom edges offer lots of surface area to the flame and are easy to clean
All pots and lids have folding wire handles that allow the pots to nest; insulative coating on handles improves grip and prevents burns
Lids double as fry pans
Nylon storage sack with drawstring included

When every ounce counts, pack along titanium pots. Titanium sets a new standard for lightweight cookware that's durable enough for backcountry use. It weighs half as much as stainless steel.
Capacity and dimensions per piece are as follows:

1.9 liter pot = 3.75 in. (height) x 6.75 in. (diameter)
0.8 liter fry pan/lid = 1.75 in. (height) x 6.75 in. (diameter)
1.3 liter pot = 3.5 in. (height) x 6.25 in. (diameter)
0.7 liter fry pan/lid = 1.75 in. (height) x 6.25 in. (diameter)

Imported.

Great Idea, But Nonstick's The Flaw

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

Great idea/design, not so great execution. I love that this set is so compact & light & it nests snugly. But the nonstick coating, as other reviewers have noted, just doesn't stand up to actual use, & that's a fatal flaw. Too bad REI doesn't offer these exact same pots in a plain-titanium version without the nonstick application; then they'd be the perfect set for ultralight backpacking. Until then, other manufacturers offer good models in this size range in plain-ti (nonstick and ultrathin titanium just don't work together in real life).
But if you aren't committed to ultralight scale-watching and a few extra ounces/pounds per pack isn't crucial, you will probably be much happier & better served with good stainless. Slightly heavier but much better to cook on & inherently nonstick on its own, as you probably know already from home use. Certainly stainless is better for frying (eggs, pancakes, meat, fish) than titanium is ever likely to be. For stainless, check out REI's Alpine line of cookware. Stainless also works well over a wood/chip fire; on the other hand, ti works better with alcohol & other lower-intensity stoves.
Titanium works well for boiling (stews, pasta, rice, tea/coffee etc), so with ti that's pretty much what you'll be eating (hot, anyway).Hint: the larger the ti pot, the better (doubles for water carrying, cook for 2-4, washing up,etc) With a stainless pan you can fry. My suggestion for weight/function tradeoff: Ti pots (plain ti, avoid nonstick) and one stainless fry pan, lightest you can find, between 8 and 10 inches. If you just gotta have that bacon-and-eggs-at-dawn moment, that's the way to go.

Light but...

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

Bought this set to augment an extended car camping trip, but also for possible future backpacking use. The first time I used it on our Primus camping stove, on the lowest possible flame I could set it to w/o it going out, the bottom of the pan started to slightly warp, and got really warm. This caused the food to stick and burned a spot on the non-stick side. That spot lost its non-stick properties permanently. Similar experience w/ a pot while cooking some pasta, and on w/ the second pan while cooking eggs.

While I appreciate the light weight of the set, I definitely think this lack in durability... Usually these two properties are mutually exclusive, just wasn't expecting this to happen so quickly. I used the Primus Atle Stove and Grill for this trip, but am thinking that this set may be more appropriate for exclusive backpacking stove use.

Also found it difficult to handle the large pot full of hot water w/ the built in handles. The flexible plastic insulation on the handle tends to slide a bit and gets pretty hot w/ extended use.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

The first time I used this set was to fry some potatoes in one of the pots. I was being very careful not to overheat the pots, but when I cleaned the pot I noticed burned marks on the bottom. This mark would not wash off, and when I cooked some eggs it got worse. Considering I was scoping this set out for a year before purchasing it, I am dissapointed.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

This set is great for a couple because the two lids make great plates. The entire set fits together nicely leaving a good amount of space inside to pack food. There is no wasted space between the inner and outer pot. The handles have plastic coating so be careful not to burn the coating off. The wall thickness is quite thin as with most Ti cooksets.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

Over several years this set has been banged about on backpacking treks, canyoneering forays, and winter camping excursions.

I cook on an MSR Whisperlite. Yes, the handle plastic melted on one pot, and there has been discoloring on the outside. SO WHAT? They continue to be easy to clean, LIGHT, and durable. No sticking. I am about to purchase another set for my son. Go for it!

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

The weight of these pots is amazing. Two large cooking pots and two frying pans, both frying pans double as lids and they are self contained with folding handles. Plus, they weigh NOTHING! I haven't had them long, so I am not sure as to the durability, but they were banged around quite a bit this weekend, and still look great.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

Used this once. Food stuck to the bottom and sides of pan. Non stick area is now discolored and you cannot clean it. This is NOT non-stick. Save your money and get something else. It may be worth carrying something a little heavier.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

The game during breakfast prep is how many pancakes will it take to get the temp and oil just right so the cakes aren't a mess of burned and raw batter! Seriously, we love the light weight and how a group of four can eat a portion out of each of the pieces. Pasta dishes are very easy but try to fry anything doughy or with batter and it is a huge challenge. Recommended with some caveats.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

Got this to take camping with me due to its light weight and small size. Used it with no problems. Use and Clean up was fairly. Of course it would have been easier had i remember to bring my scrub brush, but that is all on me. I am looking into getting another set or just a larger pot to cook larger things in.

Comments about REI Ti Ware Nonstick Titanium Cookset:

This cook set is great. I have used it on several multi-day backpacking trips and they have worked perfect. They clean up so easily with a minimal amount of water (which was a handy thing when water was scarce). Super light weight which is the reason most people would buy it. For light weight backpacking this set is tops.
