Snow Peak Titanium Trek 700 (700 ml pot, titanium)

How much it adds to your pack for the amount it holds. 7: Better than most.

Snow Peak's UK and US pages both give 136 g with lid and mesh bag. Its US page gives the capacity only in US fluid units (23.6, which is 698 ml); its UK page gives none. 136 g for 0.698 L = 195 g per litre, in the 150-219 g/L band. Ultralight Outdoor Gear lists 122 g and 700 ml (174 g per litre, same band) and Justin Reviews weighed about 125 g with the lid.

How evenly it heats, whether food sticks or burns, cleaning, and the handles, lid, pouring and steadiness on a small stove. 6: A bit better than average.

Four hands-on sources, with a 2-point spread, so reviewers disagree. Justin Reviews (4) calls it the perfect little pot and mug for solo trips and likes the stamped volume marks. That Outdoor Dad (4) has used it for about three years for coffee and oatmeal and says it has worked flawlessly. OutdoorGearLab (3; cooking 3 out of 10) says the thin titanium heats fast and unevenly: an egg burned within 10 seconds, so it only really suits boiling water and rehydrating meals. Dan Goes Hiking (2) uses it only to boil water and would not buy it again: he finds the lid handle sharp, the lid not titanium (he believes) and none of the handles insulated. Scores 3, 2, 4 and 4: average 3.3 out of 5, so 6 out of 10. Treeline Review's best-pots roundup (names it a runner-up) isn't counted: it only recommends the pot in general terms, has no comment on cooking or handling, and lists insulated handles that this pot doesn't have.

Reviewers disagree on this.
