Customer Reviews

Good for its specific purpose.
> > ***A review for the average camper / hiker / backpacker:***

This is a good choice if your priorities are reducing the weight of your pack and having cookware that will not bend or fold under extreme heat. If those two factors are not a big deal - use aluminium cookware instead. It is much cheaper and you will get more efficient heating for your food and water.

> > ***A review for the science nerd folk:***

Titanium alloys, if fashioned into very thin sheets, have decent-to-good thermal conductivity. If we were to consider common metals used for cookware, from best to worst it would be:

copper -- aluminium -- titanium -- stainless steel

You are getting more for your money here if you choose titanium over steel. Add to that the fact that titanium alloys are much better at resisting carbonization and etching of the surface of the metal and you can see a few material differences that make it superior to steel as well as aluminium and copper.

Use Google to search for "tiguideWeb.pdf". It has a large amount of easy to understand information on titanium.

> > ***A review for the firebugs and other crazies:***

If you are the sort who lights campfires using magnesium shavings or thermite [like I do... =) ], these pans are much less likely to melt into a puddle of slag should the fire get a bit out of hand.

The melting point of titanium alloys is almost always going to be substantially higher than aluminium and some grades of steel.

Truly amazing cookware
My wife's allergies require her to cook her own food so we travel with a kitchen-kit - all the necessities for cooking on the road. Titanium seemed like a better alternative to stainless steel because of the weight so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm really impressed with titanium across the board. This stuff is incredibly light and yet much more rugged than you think. My first impression: wasn't sure how long this stuff would last. Once you start using it, you realize it's very, very sturdy for its weight. The set works great on a portable hot plate and is amazingly easy to clean up - much easier than stainless steel. I'm still amazed that the handles don't heat up. I would imagine titanium would be perfect for hiking, car camping, or our sort of travel, etc.

I would buy this set again - I'm a new fan of titanium.

Lightweight, durable, small
I love the weight, well constructed, but the size is impractical, the largest bowl isn't capable of holding a cooked (1 box) bowl of mac and cheese, much less cooking it. I'd go with something bigger unless you're anorexic.
