Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:

Picked this one up after comparing various makes and sizes of cookware. I like the nesting abilility as it forms the base for my cookset. Inside I placed a mug with stove and fuel. I did not get hung up on the measurement increments stamped on side of pot. Overcame that by using a water bottle with markings on it and did the math to know how much to pour for boiling/cooking. The lid/pan is nice to use as a lid to help speed up boil times, and it makes a nice spoonrest when not on the pot. Its nice to know that I can nest this with the 1400 if a larger pot is needed for my cookset.

This gear is great for the minimalist. You can get a can of fuel and a stove in this kit. I keep a Snow Peak Trek 700 in this with a stove and fuel in the 700. If I need more gear, I then stuff this in the Trek 1400. Like Russian dolls that can cook, I have all the mug/pots and plate/pans I need for any activity.

I used over the campfire to heat water to conserve fuel on stove, and it warped from heat. Discolored purple right where it warped. Handles are terrible but I can work with them. I may have to return over the warp, if I have a problem with lid/frying pan fitting.

I've used this cook pot for a few months. The upsides are light weight, and compact design. Durability is not going to be on par with stainless steel, but that is to be expected from titanium. The only downside I can see is the lid. It fits very loosely. I don't understand how this design passed the scrutiny of the folks at Snowpeak. If you own other similar sized cooking gear you might find a lid that works better. I use the lid for my GSI kettle.

I purchased this to update my old aluminum cook set. I chose this particular size over the others because my hand can easily fit inside of it to clean it out, and it is not overly bulky. I have only used it to boil water to heat my son's bottle while on an urban hiking trip to the DC cherry blossom festival. It was perfectly stable on my snow peak giga power stove, and heated half a quart in no time flat.

My primary interests are solo/group backpacking where I occasionally cook a meal for two. I cannot wait to hit the trail with this.

Note: the fry pan lid is rather small for cooking, and does rattle in your pack. A rubber band from a head of lettuce fixed the rattling problem quite nicely. But hey this makes for a really light weight, yet expensive, bear bell ;)

Service and delivery comments:

Prompt as to be expected by REI.

Good light weight combo, great for boiling water and cooking light meals.
Did not give it a 5 star due to the fact that the pan does not fit the cup tightly like a lid should.

I have to say I wasnt to pleased with this cookset. First of all, the mesh sack that comes with it is to big. I cooked on it for the first time with nonstick foil and the frypan looks horrendous. I should have spent my money on a nonstick set.

I found out that this is the perfect size for my solo backpacking trips as i do more than just boil water for my meals. I also use the lid/ pan as a plate.
I pair it with the snow peak mini solo cookset if i want to enjoy a cup of coffee while cooking or if i'm cooking for two.

The handle on the miniature fry pan is not stable enough. The fry pan scorches immediately, and the food stuff sticks stubbornly.

My romance with titanium has finally come to an end. After having tried many of these items, I find them to be light weight misery versus a good backpack utility.

Although the cost has been driven downwards over the ensuing years, the problems with titanium remains constant.

You save weight, but you have to deal with poor heat transfer, which equates to more fuel burned over time.

Whatever weight you saved, you end up losing by virtue of the amount of fuel you must carry with you. Remember, it's not just the fuel, it's the bottles to carry it in.

I'm back to hard anodised aluminum. It's the only answer which makes sense at this point at least to me.

I've the titan tea pot still, but the other titanium products are destined for unasked for gifts, to the unsuspecting members of the hiking / back packing community; with whom I'm not too close.

Others I know real well, would slip into my tent, and most probably murder me in my sleep. It's hard to sleep with one eye open...

Great set for backpack cooking. Lid is just the lid & measuring cup, everything else I use the pot for. Starbuck's Via in the morning, check! Water for Backpackers Pantry, check! Cooking the mac & cheese, check! Carfull with the heat, no issues with warping or not normal discoloration.
