What's the benefits of a titanium pot?

lightweight and compatibility with the human body, titanium is corrosion-resistant, it leaves no metallic smell or taste.

lightweight and non-stick that doesn't scrape off. for backpacking every ounce counts so shaving weight and making clean up easy goes a long way.

Slight weight savings and durabilty. Very tough material, set it right in the fire with no worries.
1290354
Light weight and strength. Does not bend as easily as aluminum but is still light.

A titanium pot is extremely light so if you are a backpacker who goes out for a longer period of time, every oz counts.

I looked on the internet. I believe the Oneida pot can be used very safely. Bon Appetite

I like the side because they are an extension of the pot itself so I think it much more secure. Yes they get very hot and you need to be very aware of that but a good thick mitt will take care of that. Be safe and enjoy cooking. I made meatballs and red gravy yesterday and they were fabulous.

Its Titanium. I dont know with it got a non stick coating. But on the manual says, Only for Boiling the Water, don't cook on this.

I've had excellent results with this pot and titanium in general while backpacking. However, care must be taken to never heat the pot while empty or warping may result.

Very handy pot. Could use two but have to settle for the one. I mostly boil eggs...it is so easy and fast. If I ate asparagus alot I would probably use it for it. I love my pot. I think I will try boiling potatoes next time.

yes but all titanium cookware does not dissipate heat well, it is only used for it's lightness, so areas of bottom that are touching stove will be hotter than areas off the stove surface.

Can you describe in more detail what you mean by "burned?" The pot is titanium so it has a very high melting point. If you cook over a dirty flame it will get black like anything.

This is an old company, they are conscious of the dangers of lead. The pot is beautiful, very high quality. It is a great value for price. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pot from them.

I Love scanpan! So easy to clean, I don't like the stainless on the out side. I have to use Barkeepers Friend to clean the outside to keep them looking good. The titanium is scratching and looking dull. I have always hand washed and I use rubber sheets in between when stacking in the cabinet. At this point I haven't tried using the warranty.

It is not as heavy as you might think, and the longer handle dissipates the heat well so balance is better. I have had the pot full of potatoes and could handle it. Plus the lid helps drain liquid easily.

Yes. I've never noticed a difference, but the smaller pot may taste better.

It can go high enough for high-temp steel and most metals but not titanium. In other words, you could do the most common metals like aluminum, gold, silver, brass, bronze and the like. Just not the super high-temp stuff.

sure! though the handle will be really super hot by the time the water is warm. i went to the local hobby store and got some blue silicone gas line to put on the handle, makes the handle more comfortable and much less likely to burn me as i take it off heat. it is a thinner titanium pot than most available by more reputable companies but titaniums melting point is around 3000F. not a temp your likely to be getting with coals.

Everything is Titanium. ALL metal used in the entire cup and attached/integrated pot stand, is entirely made of Titanium.

Great to know it makes a good stock pot also. Have been researching and comparing stainless steel stock pots to meet my needs. This may do. What might be extra nice is not having to leave the lid slightly open while simmering - with this I hope to keep the lid secure, but steam can escape. Will review it after a few weeks. Thanks so much for the prompt response to my question. It was very helpful.

The TOAKS spork is a very stiff, strong eating utensil, it will not bend easily at all. And due to titanium's inherent metal properties, it really isn't a good idea to play the "bendy" game with. When titanium fails, it fails spectacularly. That being said, it is a strong, long-lived light weight metal, well worth using for survival/camping gear - where weight is always a factor.
