In short
Good for
- Solo hikers who want a pot that packs flat to about 25 mm high
- Boiling water and one-pot meals such as noodles and rice
- Eating straight from the pot (it is shaped like a bowl)
Strengths
- 198 g for 1 L, with lid and removable Click-Safe handle
- Packs flat to just over 25 mm (Sea to Summit)
- Aluminium base spreads heat evenly, with a lid that clips to the rim (LidKeep)
- Sea to Summit calls the materials non-PFAS
Weaknesses
- Silicone sides can scorch or warp if the flame licks up them (a tester warns of this)
- A tester suggests holding the handle in windy conditions or when the pot is full
- No non-stick surface: Sea to Summit says it is meant for water-based cooking
- Sea to Summit's UK shop doesn't sell the pot on its own (only the cook sets); its US page is the brand source
