Snow Peak Mini Solo Combo Titanium Cookset

Snow Peak Mini Solo Combo Titanium Cookset description

The Snow Peak Mini Solo Titanium Cookset is made for one-man treks into the outback. Super light titanium is used to reduce weight and speed heating times. Easy to clean titanium is also used for its great strength-to-weight ratio. The Mini Solo can also store certain models of Snow Peak stoves to save space as well.

This is a perfect ultralight cookset for one person. It could come up a bit short if you need enough water for two meals, and I have used it primarily as a tool for boiling water. However, if I do try "actual cooking" in the pot, I believe it will work better than in other set because of the depth-other pots are much shallower and therefore prone to liquid boiling over, etc. Since the pot fits down into the mug, the interior of the pot is free to pack in a micro stove or whatever (as opposed to other "nested" sets, which, though they fit together, they represent an overall bulk item in your pack). Also, in response to the reviewer who said the lid doesn't fit the mug, actually if you flip it over it does fit over the mug (just not tightly inside like it does in the pot). I'm impressed with the quality and highly recommend this set.

I really like the solo cook set, but enlarging the cup so it nestled down over the bottom pot would make it easier to pack and more compact. If the handles would stay in their "open" position instead of swinging freely, it would be easier to manipulate, esp. with gloved hands. Still a great product.

You will have to decide whether you want a tall pot or a more squat pot. If you want a 'taller' pot then there is no better one than the Snow Peak Solo. For several years I tended to keep my kitchen in an outer side pocket of the Mithril-this meant a taller pot was the way. The Snow Peak Solo has covered almost a 1000 miles of the AT with me, several hundred miles in many national parks, and been taken on too many paddle trips to remember. It still is dent free, it still heats up and cleans quickly. The fact that the cup nestles onto the bottom is a nice feature (I avoid putting anything flavored into a bladder and the cup is nice for drink mixes). I've got a Snow Peak stove but discovered alcohol stoves (I use a Brasslite) and prefer them over lugging an empty canister out. An alcohol stove, a pot gripper, mini-bic, micro scrub set, and leatherman micra all fit inside. To keep things from rattling I stuff in a water bag.My only complaint on the Solo pot is the little triangle lifter on the lid-it is hard to pull off the lid with just it, that is using the pot gripper.All in all a great product that, like the Brasslite stoves, should become an heirloom.
