Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
Includes only the minimum of what you need, unlike all other mess kits, which have lots of pieces you never use.
The pot is big enough to boil 1L of water.
The handles get hot sometimes (gloves fix that problem) but they cool down pretty quickly.
Measurement markings on the pot are at 10, 20, and 25oz. Most things you need to add water to require 8oz. You can either eyeball it or use the lid/pan to measure, it is almost exactly 8oz.
Its unique design prevents you from getting your mess kit mixed up with everyone elses.
When packed, the pot is big enough to store Snow Peak Giga Power stove and fuel and more inside (small towel, hobo tool, etc.) If the stove and fuel are the only things in the pot, there is some extra room and they rattle around inside.
The handle on the lid/pan locks in place when extended.
The lid/pan is the perfect size for everything except tin foil dinners and fish. On every backpacking trip I pack in a frozen steak, and by dinner time it has thawed out and is ready to cook. This pan doesn't hold a steak or a fish very nicely. It is possible just to eat them right off the foil, but prefer something more sturdy.
Overall, an excellent product. No real problems, lightweight, sturdy, durable, easy to clean.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
I bought this cookpot 50 miles into the 2,176 mile AT hike and never looked back. I still have it and use it today. It's a great size, and the lid/frying pan can double as a shallow cup for hot cocoa. It's perfect to fry an egg in (use some sort of butter or oil, though). The measurement on the side is a great help, and the titanium frame is very sturdy. It's big enough to cook a whole Lipton Side in and to store your alcohol stove in, but not too large as to take up unnecessary room in your pack.
My only complaints are; 1.) the handle on the lid has to be squeezed together in order to stay protracted. If you pick it up without a steady squeeze, there's a good chance that your mashed potatoes are going to hit the ground as the pan handle collapses and 2.) the mesh bag it comes with is flimsy and a bit loose-fitting for my tastes. When it ripped, Snow Peak's cust. serv. was more than happy to ship out a new one, though.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
I bought this pot because I loved the other Snow Peak stuff, like th 700 pot, insulated mug and my favorite, the titanium stove.
At first I didn't take it with me on hikes because I thought the pan (the lid) was too small and thin.
But then at home, when I found myself of either having to do the dishes, because the pan was at the bottom of a pile of dirty dishes, or use my Snow Peak 700, as a male would normally do, I decided to put off doing the dishes.
The titanium pan worked great. The secret to using a small thin pan is simple. Oil the pan before use and every once in a while move the pan so it doesn't sit on the same place over the flame. My chopped sirloin steak came out great.
I used th pot to make soup. Surpriseingly, on medium flame, the contents of my soup did not burn. I had expected no more then boiling water, but it turns out its more capable.
Why did I give it only 4 stars?
Because I like to see a stiffer handle.
I like to see a more vertically stiff handle so the curves at the bottom meet without me making a concious effort to match them.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
This cook set is almost perfect for the solo hiker. The pot is just big enough for a meal or drink and it heats very quickly. The downside to this set is the handles. They also get hot very quickly and you have to wait until everything cools off before you can grab the pot or pan. It seems there could be some design improvements in that regard. In addition, the handle on the pot locks into the unfolded position, but it's a little difficult to unlock it. A pouring spout would have been handy, too, for draining noodles.
Other than that, this is a great little cook set that barely weighs anything! It's just barely big enough to fit my MSR Simmerlite. And it matches my titanium spork!

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
This little baby is just the right size. I love the fact that the lid becomes a frying pan. And if going in a larger group it nestles right inside the larger 1400. Snow Peak makes the most durable of the titanium cooksets and the "nestling design" is great.

great set, has what you NEED....i do the same thing as a previous reviewer, and freeze a filet mignon for the first day and cook that on the pan, works great for that (other than fuel consumption)just enough water boiling capacity for 2 peoples food, perfect for exactly 2 ramen packets...its the simple things in life, im sure it could be improved on with handles and such but im a happy camper with this one!

This is a great minimalist cookset if you need a larger pot than the Snowpeak 700 mug. It adds a small frypan that doubles as a lid. Will store the larger fuel canister with the giga power stove in the case and still has room for a small packtowel. Set is very lightweight. Handles will get hot during cooking.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
Pretty good cookset--as it should be for the price. Great place to store a small stove inside as well and not soak up too much room in the pack. Heats fast and evenly. A pour spout would be nice though. On day trips I just rinse it out on the trail and throw it in the dishwasher at home. On longer trips it cleans up well. Even on car camping trips with the family it goes along as it makes a perfect pot of boiling water for coffee.
