Some cookware is designed with the freeze-dried meal in mind. The Titan Kettle's pour spout is the giveaway. It sends boiling water into a meal pouch instead of down the side of it, which matters at night with cold fingers.
Tier: mid-to-premium.
MSR's specs
- 900 ml titanium kettle, about 4.4 oz (126 g)
- A snug-fit lid with a handle, plus a hang tab on the bottom so you can keep the lid out of the dirt
- Internal graduation marks in ounces and liters
- Silicone-coated folding handles
- Fits an MSR PocketRocket 2 or Deluxe plus a 4 oz IsoPro canister inside
Why 900 ml? It holds enough water for a dinner pouch plus a hot drink in a single boil, while staying small. It's the size many solo hikers settle on.
Things to know: titanium is great for boiling and poor for simmering, so real cooking tends to scorch. The kettle shape is narrower than a pot, so stirring is awkward.
Similar picks: the Evernew Titanium 900 is a little lighter, and the TOAKS 750 is smaller and cheaper.
