1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight for its size
From maker's figures 9/10How much it adds to your pack for the amount it holds. 9: Among the best you can buy for this.
Vargo gives 187 g, with a 900 ml mug and a 400 ml lid-pan. Both are counted because Vargo gives a capacity for each and sells the two as one cook system: 187 g for 1.3 L = 144 g per litre, under the 150 g/L line. Counting the mug alone (0.9 L) would give 208 g per litre, band 4.
Cooking and ease of use
Estimate from maker's specs: what it is made of 3/10How evenly it heats, whether food sticks or burns, cleaning, and the handles, lid, pouring and steadiness on a small stove. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
