I own both of these but I only use the Stanley. The lockable handle is excellent to keep the kit together in the pack. Stainless is better for the body and environment. Stainless is rugged and reliable, just throw it in any campfire without any worries. The small difference in weight becomes a non-issue when you factor in the weight of the water that you put in regardless which cup. And if you still have issues with the weight, just have one less beer on Friday evening and there you have your weight savings 😅 Cheers from Sweden!
It adds a bit of cost, but replace the green cup with an Ozark Trail 18 ounce stainless steel cup. The Stanley will fit in it perfectly, you can also cook in it, and you free up room in the Stanley.
My daughter got me one of the Stanley's one Christmas. Have used it quite a lot. Not going to replace it. It works it's simple that's what it takes. Great review great options
To help keep the key ring standing on the lid of the Stanley you could, before cooking, loop the key ring like you are partially taking it off. Nice video, cool comparison
I have stacked the following, Pathfinder Stainless Steel Bottle Stove, Pathfinder 25oz Stainless Steel Cup, Stanley Adventure Cup, Stanley Green Cup, Esbit Gas Stove, Water Purification Tablets Matches, Stanley Lid, and the Pathfinder Cup Lid. All in a Walmart stuff sack that fits into my Condor H2O Pouch. I don’t mind the weight, I want reliable gear. Many thanks Aaron for your videos. I get a lot of great ideas from them. God bless you and your family.
Some of the hacks I've learned for the Stanley: You can partially thread your keyring onto the lid, as though taking it back off, and it will let flat one way, while standing up "kick stand" style like the Toaks when lifted the other way. Take an automatic center punch (or any punch, really, but the auto center punch is more controllable) to the rim of the lid, facing outwards and make several punches along the circumference. This won't punch through, but will deform the metal slightly, bulging it outwards and will make for a tighter fit against the pot, making it easier for the lid to stay in place and not rattle. You can use some thin hardware wire and a pair of double channel wire crimps to make a retractable bail by winding the wire around the pot and through the crimps twice and crimping the terminating channels while leaving the running channels open, such that the crimped ends of the wire almost touch. Push the crimps away from each other to deploy the bail and pull them back towards each other to retract it. Now you can hang out over a fire without having to drill holes in the pot. Alternately, you can dremel a groove into each of the brackets that hold the handle, roughly in the middle of the bracket (experiment with the handle position to find the right angle), and you can attach wire to the handle or hang the handle directly for use as a bail. This works, but I think I prefer the retractable bail. Might save you a bit on weight, though. The Ozark trail knock off of the GSI Glacier cup nests outside the Stanley pot perfectly. I like that option better than the cups that the Stanley pot comes with, as it gives you an extra container to cook with. I'm a fan of the "BRS 3000" stove, as it's only about $15 and incredibly light. Throw a mini Bic in its stuff sack and I think it'll still take up less space than a pocket rocket The gas can can fit all the way down in the bottom of the Stanley, but might get stuck, requiring that you bang on it to get it to drop out or use some duct tape to make a handle for it. Without the nesting cups inside, you can fit 2 fuel canisters and the stove+lighter inside the pot and the lid will still fit. Alternatively, you can fit 1 fuel can, the stove+lighter, a small bottle of dish soap, half a sponge, and a small sham camp towel without issue. Lastly, you can cut off the bottom of a standard bread loaf tin (or any old baking tray), trim it to size and use it as a baking rack inside your pot. Turn the pot sideways and you can use it like a Dutch oven to bake a rather small loaf of bread (not much more than a biscuit, really) in the pot over the fire. Use a hole punch along the edge of the baking sheet to allow convection to do its thing and more evenly bake the bread. You can also make a rudimentary cage out of coat hanger wire to lay over the pot, allowing you to lay coals along the top of the pot for more even cooking. Hope this helps. Great job with the video.
The mug in the stanley is actually hollow inside (to act as an insulator). If you cut around the rim you can get 2 cups in a smaller space. The outside of the cup sits down inside the inside part, eliminating that empty space. It saves a ton of room really.
Stanley Cook Set ftw! I love mine and even use it at home. It's often on sale for $9.95, you can't find a bette kit for that price. Takes a beating outdoors and is really useful indoors. I'll never get rid of mine.
The first items I ever bought for survival was the Stanley 2 cup cook set with the Ozark Trail 18 oz. stainless cup, paid $20 plus tax for both brand new!
Great versus video, Aaron. I have been a Stanley fan for years , because my father used a Stanley thermos back in the 80's , when i was a kid an drank some of his coffee when he picked me up from daycare. So i have a big heart for Stanley products, because they stand the test of time.
I have had my stanley now for 2-3 years, take it fishing, along with my pocket rocket, in my sling pack, outdoors in backpack, anywhere I want to make a hot drink but so far the green tab handle on the lid hasn't melted yet and doesn't really get hot! Its made of heat-resistant plastic and the secret is if you stand the plastic handle up when boiling water etc it doesn't get hot. If you replace it with a metal handle it will get hot naturally...heat transfer between metal to metal an all that! The green cups are double-walled for insulation thats why they are a bit thicker, the idea being to keep your drink warmer longer. As for the weight, I really don't find it a noticeable problem, unless you fill it with stuff, but that would go for any pot. Yes its steel, but its very lightweight steel and quite strong to. So unless you are a mountaineer or someone who really needs all of your kit ultra lightweight, it would not be a problem. And because the stanley is a little taller it will hold quite number of items depending on how you utilise the space and what you put in it. It can also be used for cooking food, soups in aswell. e.g. in mine with both cups in I can fit tea bags, 3 in 1 coffee sachets, a spoon, matches or bic lighter, saccarin (sugar tablet) dispenser and my pocket rocket (out of its box) and a rag. The idea is to play around with as many possible ideas to suit your own taste; so for me its the stanley! My own thinking on this; whether rightly or wrongly, is that the thinner and lighter a metal is then the easier it will be to bend, dent and damage!
I immediately bought the UCO switch after watching your video and review of it. I am impressed. Thank you. I bought in green and paired with my 24oz Stanley cook set it works great. I don't mind the little extra ounces.
I’ve been rocking the Stanley for three years now. I hike when hunting, but I don’t hike public or national trails. I use a small carabiner for the lid handle. It fits nicely between the handle of the receptacle. I removed the cups and replaced them with a cup that the Stanley nests into. I can fit a gas can, my Soto wind master stove, a sponge half, one wash cloth, and a microfiber towelette in the Stanley. I use a 9” titanium spork that won’t fit. I put the Stanley and the fork in a stuff sack and call it good.
I like to make sure my cook kit also has water, so I use a bottle bag, with a stainless bottle, and nesting cup, and put the fire kit and utensils in the pocket on the outside of the bag. on my 2 person kt, ( using a 12x5 bag and a 64 oz bottle) I also molle on a pouch for spices, and have a container that fits the lid of the bag to hold some food stuffs ( most often cream of wheat and stevia) I usually stack the nesting cup on the bottom, then the bottle, and a second nesting cup on top, so I can use one as a bowl and the other as a cup.
I've used the Stanley for years. Got rid of both cups and it works great. A smaller fuel can fits in the bottom and you can pack ALOT of other gear in it!
Ive been using the Stanley for years, great piece of gear. I ditched the 2 green cups and i use a nesting cup on the outside. The Stanley lid fits a nesting cup perfectly
I like both of those cook sets and i have built similar cook sets over the years. I always keep an emberlit fireant in my outdoor survival kit that goes with me everytime im out in the woods, along with a UCO Switch spork, so those are my back ups. I love the Stanley cook set and would probably go with that most of the time. Would love to see u do some other wood burning twig stove reviews Aaron!
I love that you gave some love to the Fold-A-Cup! I feel like no one knows they exist in the US. I have the big one (20oz), and I love it! I found your channel because of your Uco Switch reviews (which I also love), and I'm glad to hear you mention it so much.
I use the Pathfinder bottle and cup as well as the Stanley set on occasion. But what works best for me that falls somewhere between the low price of the Stanley and the low weight of titanium is a Wuudi 2 piece set. It is almost as light as titanium, but much cheaper--might even be cheaper than the Stanley. The pot is fine, but the only downside is that the aluminum cup with hot coffee in it burns the smackers! So I include a $1.50 Walmart collapsible silicon cup as a lip liner and for added versatility. Fits inside the set with fuel canister, stove, lighter and cooking cloth/hotpad/groundcover thingie. Has a similar drawstring bag. Never thought of using that for hot handles. Genius! You also turned me on the the Switch. Best multi-utensil I've tried!
I also use a cheap knockoff of the Condor water bottle carrier. The knockoff is better, because it has no liner, making it a much better fit. A BRS Hornet and low form butane canister, will all fit in the bag with it.
@@Pappysan that was a good question! I had to Google it. Found this on the MSR website: Titanium pots are ideal primarily for boiling water because they can be made with thin walls, and transfer heat very quickly. Like stainless steel pots, they tend to develop hot spots, making them less than ideal for cooking real meals. Titanium is favored by the truly fast-and-light crowd, who count their grams and opt for quick boil-only meals after a long, exhausting day.
Great video for comparison . Bought the Stanley cook pot mainly because my wife and I hike together and that way I can reduce her pack weight, ( so she will keep coming with me )
If you have the cash and lots of it. Go with EVERYTHING Titanium. Nest EVERYTHING in the larger container and work your way inward. Make certain you understand every millimeter and only buy items that you can use. Helpful hints: Large Cups can fit=Folding cutlery, gas canister, titanium micro stove and sometims a few other items. If you find one with a lid and handles, even better. Standard pots: Plate on the outside(top&bottom in needed), cup, cutlery(standard size), gas can+stove or wood stove(fold flat), a detachable handle grip and more all under 1 pound!!
Actually here in the UK I can buy a Ti pot with lid, and frying pan, for half what it would cost me to buy the Stanley equivalents, around $30 for the cookset you see here, and $50 for the frying pan set. But still I'd go with stainless which is what I already have (but not Stanley). Stainless steel conducts far better than Ti, so once the vessel has reached temperature it cooks very quickly. It also keeps the liquid or food hot for longer, since conductivity=heat retention. Finally in the case of larger pots or pans where you are actually cooking rather than just boiling water, you'll get hot and cold spots in the Ti pans, whereas the stainless has even heat distribution. The best of all for conductivity/retention is of course cast iron but obviously even for me who goes bike camping / bushcrafting that's just too heavy. However if you want to go light and will just be boiling water, Ti is the way to go. People saying it isn't strong or can't withstand high temperatures are talking rubbish, Ti alloys are used in aerospace engineering, components for light artillery pieces, industrial extrusion presses which are subject to extremely high temperatures and stresses, and much more due to it's superior strength.
Great vid, thanks 👍 I use the Stanley without the plastic tumbler. Instead I nest an Ozark Trail SS cup (from Wally's) to the bottom of the Stanley to give me two containers to boil with and some hot lips so I don't burn myself. This set-up works for me and even when my decides to come with. Thanks for sharing. 👊💥🏕️
One of the two best gear reviewers on utube along with junkyard fox great job with how you break things down and the way u show gear in use instead of just looking at the gear and showing some specs. I also like how u show competitive options around the same size and price 👍🏻. Personally my favorite cook set is the pathfinder bottle and cup along with there light pots in titanium,aluminum and steel plus I threw in 2 small titanium plates a titanium bowl and titanium sporks. For the pot I have there aluminum and the larger steel pot which is bigger but still fairly light because the steel is thin enough to keep it light but tested hard to make sure the thin steel would hold up and it does and the steel pot fits the plates a titanium cup and titanium bowl in the pot and there water bottle comes with a great steel cup that can be nested in the steel cup it comes with plus I threw in a pot holder that alout of people use for opening fish mouths but work great for hanging pots over a fire to boiling water or cooking and would probably cost $150 for this whole setup but it’s well worth it especially if your in the woods alout I spent over a yr looking for the best cook set options I could find pathfinder cook sets, bags like the Finland border patrol bags like there SAVOTTA Jaeger 1000 Cordura throughout the whole bag it’s a beast with tons of options for carrying axes saws etc great Molle sexy bag very very tough as 1000 Cordura is very strong and would easily last a life time great zipper some water proofing not enough in a long heavy rain storm so many options they do sell a larger bag for like $349 but I’m a small guy and a 31 liter pack should be plenty it also comes with a great options for hanging small tents wool blankets and even a small tent and a foam bed which is just better for me so I don’t have to blow up pads when I can just use a heavy foam mattress strapping on the bottom sides front untop and the base though even the medium size version can be pricey from $200 up to $220 but is rated to carry 100 kilograms which is around 200 pound I think which means I don’t have to worry about weight to much I own a Duluth bushcraft bag for $250 a Teton that was around $100 and my 511 rush 72 bag which is tough with a ton of options costs around $150 and a hidden woodsman haversack I’m guessing cost just under $100 which is great when u don’t want to carry everything it makes for a great lightweight haversack made tough materials maybe a good hunting option light but big enough for a knife and a trash bag to cut up your kill and put just the good meat on so u can carry the meat with less weight plus it leaves two of your arms that can carry what u decide to use for hunting whether it’s a hunting rifle shot gun bow and arrow crossbow sling shot etc.and a fishing gadget which would work great I went with the aluminum yoyito hand real small light. I agree it’s a light pricey at like $70 if u get this haversack with 32 pound line though u can switch the line to whatever pound line u like to use I use 16 pound line on my rods which can catch fish easily that weigh double maybe more depending on your patience and if I catch a 32lb fish I’d be pumped never caught a fish over 15 pounds anyway also the yoyito can be setuped to hang on a branch and just left in the water so u don’t have to stand there all day waiting for a fish while I can fish with my rod until that yoyito catch’s a beast easy to see a hit on the yoyito because the branch would start moving plus I put a small bell on the line two so I can use more rods different ways of using bait etc. I even saw one on naked and afraid has a few more upgrades from the cheap plastic ones that won’t last 1/2 as long as the yoyito plus the yoyito comes in a great Cordura small case with Molle straps so I can hand it on the outside of your bag especially if you only buy bags with Molle does even have to be everywhere but enough for a few more woodsy tools as well as making it easier to carry wool blankets a styrofoam sleeping pad small tent and a small bivy along with fire kit a sharpening kit some food for energy water purification Paracord rope etc and even after all this I can still fit an extra change of clothes a mini steel grate for cooking meat. Sorry for the book. I could of went even longer but I’m tired
fyi with that keyring mod, you can split the ring a little bit and thread the little metal sheet that keeps it attached to the lid to keep it from falling over against the lid and burning your fingertips when you boil with it. Love the video Gideon. Had a variant of both kits for a few years now and love them both. I modded the Stanley with a bail though cause i like hanging my pot instead of balancing. Too many times i have smacked my pot somehow and put out my embers.
I have the Stanley set and a similar titanium 750ml cup I mostly keep the smaller one in my day pack but if I plan on a longer trip I'd take both, nested together. When my wife joins me she would carry one with one of the plastic cups and I would have the other.
I use the Stanley. I also have the knock off burner edit: the knock off burner I have has a push button spark for ignition. It’s worked flawlessly for about 4 years.
my 2c. I have the Stanley (for cost reasons) and I just picked up a second so I can pick the set that I want. I have one set that has a Toaks 450 mug in it with 2oz alcohol container a lighter, a pot stand for a Trangia or similar stove, and then some tea packets.I have the lid on and then it's held down with ranger bands. on top goes my alcohol stove (Trangia clone). The stove has a seal and will hold about 3.3 oz. of fuel. So this all in one setup will last a few days. I got the other one to have a similar setup to what you showed with a canister stove setup. I think Toaks 750 would be better by far for weight, but with this I get a cup as well as the pot to cook in. So even though it's heavier, I think it'll work out better
Here in the UK the Stanley cookset is available from some online suppliers here but it ain't cheap at more than $30 converted, we can get titanium pots for the same or less. But I'd go with stainless every time as it conducts better than Ti, so it will cook / boil quicker once up to temperature, and it will keep the water/food warmer for longer. The Stanley frypan (skillet) is also available here but it's much more expensive, around $45-50 but again this is better than Ti equivalents as it doesn't have hot and cold spots which Ti does on larger cooking surfaces. If I didn't already have great stainless steel milsurp gear which I love - Dutch Army canteen cup with Pathfinder lid, and Dutch Army mess tins with lid/frying pan, I'd buy the Stanley cookset and frying pan.
I have that same Stanley.. I keep 1 factory cup in it as well as my Cook n Escape titanium cup. Nice setup. I don't use pocket stoves though, I just build a fire or Dakota firehole.
I have the Stanley cook set. It’s simple, rugged and just plain works. The few extra oz of weight doesn’t bother me so I’m not going to upgrade to titanium. If anyone is watching this and still skeptical about the Stanley I say don’t hesitate to get one.
I have a Stanley cook set as well. As of late I use the Göetland (German steel) canteen and cook pot, and the Göetland GI mess kit. Each are around $15 on Amazon. If weight is an issue the metal canteen could be swapped out with a nalgene canteen. I usually use an alcohol burner or camp fire coals to cook.
Like most Stanley owners, I don't use the green cups and this helps with weight. I have considered getting the titanium cup for backpacking but love my Stanley too much to stop using it just to save on a little weight. It's such a solid piece of gear with an excellent price point and therefore it will always be my go to cook set with camping, backpacking, picnics, etc. Thanks for the review. I subscribed to your channel.
Great video! My only 2 cents would be the Stanley cup is solid but if weight is an issue, replace it with the popup cup. Then flip the fuel canister upside down and place it inside on the bottom of the Stanley kettle. Nestles nicely. This also offers more room for other items.
Great question, I usually go with the “deluxe” set up. I only use the Stanley Do you augment and the lighter one if we have multiple people going on a hike or trip, or someone else is going with me and I need to mugs over just the single.
If you want to save even more with the stanley set use a different stove. Could use the BRS 3000 approx. $17. Or use an alcohol stove like a Trangia knockoff (needs a pot stand) or make a cat can stove which is it's own pot stand. As others have mentioned the $5 Ozark Mountain Stainless Steel Cup works great.
Original Trangias aren't that expensive, about £15 here, i.e. $20, and they're well made and robust. I use it inside a Lixada-type folding pocket size twig stove, which perfectly serves as both pot stand and windshield, plus I do actually burn twigs in it when I can, and as a backup or firestarter in wet weather, I carry a couple of solid fuel tablets (actually FireDragon gel).
SR71 Blackbird spy plane was made of titanium because it was the only material in the world that could withstand the repeated and very high temps of flying so high and fast , so yeah it's apparently fine on a campfire lol :)
There is an old song Bye Bye Blackbird - I've always wondered what he was referring to. Thanks to you now I know! If you don't know it, it's a great song on ukulele.
6;36 this is good little kit if need only one day travell trip, but if go week or more travel you need lot better all parts.real good cooking set and axe and many other stuff, big backbag need full stuff and water and food. pocket foldable water tank have best 2 and 5 liter tank.
I don't go by Amazon reviews. There are 1 star reviews of the Mora 511 that say it's junk because they got it wet & it rusted. Saying it's junk because you don't know how to use it isn't a review to me.
Awesome video, i have a question the cooking fuel containers, normally how long would they last if you were using them to cook prepackaged foods, and also where do you get them refilled or exchanged at ?
Here are some links that may help: How long they last ruclips.net/video/M3pj2gSFXb4/видео.html How to measure ruclips.net/video/_UfNeX9SBHQ/видео.html How to refill ruclips.net/video/I_8C-yExnxM/видео.html
Is there an option for family cooking sets ? Maybe for a group of 4 to 5 and just having one cooking set for the group? Could anyone point me to that video?
I have the Stanley and I think its hard to beat. I certainly understand weight saving and that is a valid consideration but the Stanley is durable and holds extra gear. While I like the green cups, I usually use a Walmart stainless steel cup that is only $5 and is almost an exact copy of a Glacier cup which cost twice as much. The cook pot nestles in the cup leaving lots of room inside the pot for storage.
Nice setup... Pretty cool video. I like that idea of two cooksets for various budgets and applications. I've build for myself recently two cookset kits with pretty much the same idea in mind. One is cheap and minimalistic for a bug out bag or weekend backpack. The other cookset is bigger, heavier, has better gear and had a lot more features for longer adventures with more practicality and comfort in mind. I haven't had a chance to try it yet due to the lockdown in my area but I definitely look forward to. Whatever the kit there's one thing that I would recommend to have though would be an extension for the gas canister. I'm not sure how it's called exactly. It's just one of those plastic things with foldable legs that you clip on the base of the gas canister to extend its footprint on the ground and keep everything stable when you cook. That doesn't add much weight to the kit. The costs just a few bucks and that gives you some piece of mind in knowing you have less chance to waste your food and water on the ground. I have one on both my kits.
@Soda Popinski I think it went off topic. In the Far East they clean totally black huge woks by heating them and simply throwing in vineger. No scrubbing, instantly all the carbon disappears. And we are talking about serious amounts of carbon buildup in Chinese food places etc. Same in India etc.
There is a modification you can make on those plastic cups to where you can have one cup in there and still have two cuz those cups are hollow on the inside look up waypoint survival Stanley cup hacks on RUclips same channel you're on he has all sorts of hacks for that Stanley 2 cup cook set one is for a bail handle the sweet little modification no drilling needed
Great kits. I use the Stanley with the brs and it works fantastic. I recently piced up the msr gas canister just because it fits in the cup but gosh their expensive conpared to the Walmart iso pro
stanley have better because can add in good lot better polymer cup, and all same stuff and little more too.first seen silicone cup not has good newer not good use.

It's stainless steel, not stain-free steel. One day, these budget cook sets are gonna rust and you will have to throw them away. And then you're gonna see why spending extra for titanium can actually save you money in the long run. Poor people spend more than rich people for such a reason.
Been camping n hikeing/camping all my life. I'm now 48 and have used stainless and aluminum from the get go. Still have several pieces of original kit. I appreciate ur point and it does have its place. The issues us "poor" people have (some, maybe more) is thier not taking care of thier kit. Cleaning/drying and storeing. My favorite cup I got from grandpa. The old school steel coverd w/the white n blue enamel. Dented n chipped still works as new no rust. Could go on n on. Definatley junk out there but a mid to low range stainless/aluminum can be found n last a lifetime. In the end a personal choice. U are correct tho. Paying more for top quality for certain things is wise indeed! Have a great day
If you don't think that titanium oxidize, too, I've got some bad news for you. Between heat stress, oxidation, and wear from cleaning, any cook pot will eventually wear out. All things will eventually fail. But if you take care of it, you can make it last for quite a long time.
@@wanderingcalamity360 Sure aluminium also has tough oxidized layer (anodized aluminium) but aluminium itself is a neurotoxin. Meaning you're relying on an oxidization layer not to get poisoned. A big scratch or many small scratches on the pot can expose pure aluminium and it can leak into food, especially acidic food. Expect your brain to be poisoned and overtime, your memory will be affected, you'll become forgetful. Titanium itself is non-toxic to the human body (that's why surgical implants made from titanium). Its oxidization layer is tough and even when scratched, the titanium beneath will form a new layer, this will happen forever. The only downside to titanium is that it absorbs and releases heat very quickly, so if you want your food to be warm after cooking for a long time, titanium is not ideal.

I own both of these but I only use the Stanley. The lockable handle is excellent to keep the kit together in the pack. Stainless is better for the body and environment.
Stainless is rugged and reliable, just throw it in any campfire without any worries. The small difference in weight becomes a non-issue when you factor in the weight
of the water that you put in regardless which cup. And if you still have issues with the weight, just have one less beer on Friday evening and there you have your weight savings 😅
Cheers from Sweden!
Well.. I'm not a lightweight traveler and while shopping, more beer is how I justify spending more on lightweight gear..
@@artakhanalizadeh6137 haha, good point👍
It adds a bit of cost, but replace the green cup with an Ozark Trail 18 ounce stainless steel cup. The Stanley will fit in it perfectly, you can also cook in it, and you free up room in the Stanley.
Sounds awesome!!
@@gideonstactical It's a bit more expensive, but I have the Pathfinder 25oz mug nested on mine!
I use one mug in the pot, nested in either the 18oz cup, or a 750 Ti pot
@@jeepnicc i buy all pathfinder. I also only wear Patagonia. I know my backpack weight down to the half milligram. I dont even hike hehehehehe
The Grayl 24 oz water purifier nestles nicely in the Stanley cook pot!
Nice to know, thanks for sharing!
Just bought my Grayl 24 oz so, good to know it fits in the Stanley, thanks!
Yes absolutely I like the industrial strength and reliability of the Stanley cook pot it’s awesome would not leave home without it good video
Wow! Love how you just talk without trying to act silly like many channels do. Much more informative and mature.
My daughter got me one of the Stanley's one Christmas. Have used it quite a lot. Not going to replace it. It works it's simple that's what it takes. Great review great options
I love my Stanley cook set
To help keep the key ring standing on the lid of the Stanley you could, before cooking, loop the key ring like you are partially taking it off. Nice video, cool comparison
I have stacked the following, Pathfinder Stainless Steel Bottle Stove, Pathfinder 25oz Stainless Steel Cup, Stanley Adventure Cup, Stanley Green Cup, Esbit Gas Stove, Water Purification Tablets Matches, Stanley Lid, and the Pathfinder Cup Lid. All in a Walmart stuff sack that fits into my Condor H2O Pouch. I don’t mind the weight, I want reliable gear.
Many thanks Aaron for your videos. I get a lot of great ideas from them. God bless you and your family.
Some of the hacks I've learned for the Stanley:
You can partially thread your keyring onto the lid, as though taking it back off, and it will let flat one way, while standing up "kick stand" style like the Toaks when lifted the other way.
Take an automatic center punch (or any punch, really, but the auto center punch is more controllable) to the rim of the lid, facing outwards and make several punches along the circumference. This won't punch through, but will deform the metal slightly, bulging it outwards and will make for a tighter fit against the pot, making it easier for the lid to stay in place and not rattle.
You can use some thin hardware wire and a pair of double channel wire crimps to make a retractable bail by winding the wire around the pot and through the crimps twice and crimping the terminating channels while leaving the running channels open, such that the crimped ends of the wire almost touch.
Push the crimps away from each other to deploy the bail and pull them back towards each other to retract it. Now you can hang out over a fire without having to drill holes in the pot.
Alternately, you can dremel a groove into each of the brackets that hold the handle, roughly in the middle of the bracket (experiment with the handle position to find the right angle), and you can attach wire to the handle or hang the handle directly for use as a bail. This works, but I think I prefer the retractable bail. Might save you a bit on weight, though.
The Ozark trail knock off of the GSI Glacier cup nests outside the Stanley pot perfectly.
I like that option better than the cups that the Stanley pot comes with, as it gives you an extra container to cook with.
I'm a fan of the "BRS 3000" stove, as it's only about $15 and incredibly light. Throw a mini Bic in its stuff sack and I think it'll still take up less space than a pocket rocket
The gas can can fit all the way down in the bottom of the Stanley, but might get stuck, requiring that you bang on it to get it to drop out or use some duct tape to make a handle for it.
Without the nesting cups inside, you can fit 2 fuel canisters and the stove+lighter inside the pot and the lid will still fit.
Alternatively, you can fit 1 fuel can, the stove+lighter, a small bottle of dish soap, half a sponge, and a small sham camp towel without issue.
Lastly, you can cut off the bottom of a standard bread loaf tin (or any old baking tray), trim it to size and use it as a baking rack inside your pot. Turn the pot sideways and you can use it like a Dutch oven to bake a rather small loaf of bread (not much more than a biscuit, really) in the pot over the fire. Use a hole punch along the edge of the baking sheet to allow convection to do its thing and more evenly bake the bread. You can also make a rudimentary cage out of coat hanger wire to lay over the pot, allowing you to lay coals along the top of the pot for more even cooking.
Hope this helps.
Great job with the video.
The mug in the stanley is actually hollow inside (to act as an insulator). If you cut around the rim you can get 2 cups in a smaller space. The outside of the cup sits down inside the inside part, eliminating that empty space. It saves a ton of room really.
Stanley Cook Set ftw! I love mine and even use it at home. It's often on sale for $9.95, you can't find a bette kit for that price. Takes a beating outdoors and is really useful indoors. I'll never get rid of mine.
I love the Stanley cook pot! It's such a good budget piece of gear. Great job on the video!
The first items I ever bought for survival was the Stanley 2 cup cook set with the Ozark Trail 18 oz. stainless cup, paid $20 plus tax for both brand new!
Great versus video, Aaron. I have been a Stanley fan for years , because my father used a Stanley thermos back in the 80's , when i was a kid an drank some of his coffee when he picked me up from daycare. So i have a big heart for Stanley products, because they stand the test of time.
I have had my stanley now for 2-3 years, take it fishing, along with my pocket rocket, in my sling pack, outdoors in backpack, anywhere I want to make a hot drink but so far the green tab handle on the lid hasn't melted yet and doesn't really get hot! Its made of heat-resistant plastic and the secret is if you stand the plastic handle up when boiling water etc it doesn't get hot. If you replace it with a metal handle it will get hot naturally...heat transfer between metal to metal an all that! The green cups are double-walled for insulation thats why they are a bit thicker, the idea being to keep your drink warmer longer. As for the weight, I really don't find it a noticeable problem, unless you fill it with stuff, but that would go for any pot. Yes its steel, but its very lightweight steel and quite strong to. So unless you are a mountaineer or someone who really needs all of your kit ultra lightweight, it would not be a problem. And because the stanley is a little taller it will hold quite number of items depending on how you utilise the space and what you put in it. It can also be used for cooking food, soups in aswell. e.g. in mine with both cups in I can fit tea bags, 3 in 1 coffee sachets, a spoon, matches or bic lighter, saccarin (sugar tablet) dispenser and my pocket rocket (out of its box) and a rag. The idea is to play around with as many possible ideas to suit your own taste; so for me its the stanley! My own thinking on this; whether rightly or wrongly, is that the thinner and lighter a metal is then the easier it will be to bend, dent and damage!
I immediately bought the UCO switch after watching your video and review of it. I am impressed. Thank you. I bought in green and paired with my 24oz Stanley cook set it works great. I don't mind the little extra ounces.
I’ve been rocking the Stanley for three years now. I hike when hunting, but I don’t hike public or national trails. I use a small carabiner for the lid handle. It fits nicely between the handle of the receptacle. I removed the cups and replaced them with a cup that the Stanley nests into. I can fit a gas can, my Soto wind master stove, a sponge half, one wash cloth, and a microfiber towelette in the Stanley. I use a 9” titanium spork that won’t fit. I put the Stanley and the fork in a stuff sack and call it good.
I like to make sure my cook kit also has water, so I use a bottle bag, with a stainless bottle, and nesting cup, and put the fire kit and utensils in the pocket on the outside of the bag. on my 2 person kt, ( using a 12x5 bag and a 64 oz bottle) I also molle on a pouch for spices, and have a container that fits the lid of the bag to hold some food stuffs ( most often cream of wheat and stevia) I usually stack the nesting cup on the bottom, then the bottle, and a second nesting cup on top, so I can use one as a bowl and the other as a cup.
I've used the Stanley for years. Got rid of both cups and it works great. A smaller fuel can fits in the bottom and you can pack ALOT of other gear in it!
What size / type of fuel can fit in the Stanley? Any chance you could share a link? :)
@@rsmith2658 any 100 gram fuel canister should fit.
Ive been using the Stanley for years, great piece of gear. I ditched the 2 green cups and i use a nesting cup on the outside. The Stanley lid fits a nesting cup perfectly
I like both of those cook sets and i have built similar cook sets over the years. I always keep an emberlit fireant in my outdoor survival kit that goes with me everytime im out in the woods, along with a UCO Switch spork, so those are my back ups. I love the Stanley cook set and would probably go with that most of the time. Would love to see u do some other wood burning twig stove reviews Aaron!
Great review of mini sets. Loved the idea of using the bag as an oven mitt.
I love that you gave some love to the Fold-A-Cup! I feel like no one knows they exist in the US. I have the big one (20oz), and I love it! I found your channel because of your Uco Switch reviews (which I also love), and I'm glad to hear you mention it so much.
I use the Pathfinder bottle and cup as well as the Stanley set on occasion. But what works best for me that falls somewhere between the low price of the Stanley and the low weight of titanium is a Wuudi 2 piece set. It is almost as light as titanium, but much cheaper--might even be cheaper than the Stanley. The pot is fine, but the only downside is that the aluminum cup with hot coffee in it burns the smackers! So I include a $1.50 Walmart collapsible silicon cup as a lip liner and for added versatility. Fits inside the set with fuel canister, stove, lighter and cooking cloth/hotpad/groundcover thingie. Has a similar drawstring bag. Never thought of using that for hot handles. Genius! You also turned me on the the Switch. Best multi-utensil I've tried!
I gave away the green cups and just nest my Stanley Cook Set in an Ozark Trail 18 ounce Stainless Steel Cup.
Makes for a nice kit
I also use a cheap knockoff of the Condor water bottle carrier. The knockoff is better, because it has no liner, making it a much better fit. A BRS Hornet and low form butane canister, will all fit in the bag with it.
The Stanley being S.S., you can actually cook in it if you wanted to. With most titanium pots, you're limited to boiling water in them.
Wow, really?? I had no idea. Thank you for saying that because I was about to splurge on a Toaks.
What's the issue with cooking in titanium?
@@Pappysan that was a good question! I had to Google it. Found this on the MSR website:
Titanium pots are ideal primarily for boiling water because they can be made with thin walls, and transfer heat very quickly. Like stainless steel pots, they tend to develop hot spots, making them less than ideal for cooking real meals. Titanium is favored by the truly fast-and-light crowd, who count their grams and opt for quick boil-only meals after a long, exhausting day.
@@BFD378 Thanks!
@@PappysanFood burns to it easier than steel or aluminum
Great video for comparison . Bought the Stanley cook pot mainly because my wife and I hike together and that way I can reduce her pack weight, ( so she will keep coming with me )
I got a Walmart pocket rocket knockoff about 5 years ago. Sparker still works and everything
great video, thanks... I'd replace the stanley cup with your fold-a-cup. It will cut 2.5oz & free up lots more space for storage.
The Stanley is on my wish list. Looks like a great piece of equipment.
That's what I use, and I love it. I pair it with a gti cup and a 32 oz steel Nalgene with the tapered bottom.
If you have the cash and lots of it. Go with EVERYTHING Titanium. Nest EVERYTHING in the larger container and work your way inward. Make certain you understand every millimeter and only buy items that you can use.
Helpful hints:
Large Cups can fit=Folding cutlery, gas canister, titanium micro stove and sometims a few other items. If you find one with a lid and handles, even better.
Standard pots: Plate on the outside(top&bottom in needed), cup, cutlery(standard size), gas can+stove or wood stove(fold flat), a detachable handle grip and more all under 1 pound!!
Actually here in the UK I can buy a Ti pot with lid, and frying pan, for half what it would cost me to buy the Stanley equivalents, around $30 for the cookset you see here, and $50 for the frying pan set. But still I'd go with stainless which is what I already have (but not Stanley). Stainless steel conducts far better than Ti, so once the vessel has reached temperature it cooks very quickly. It also keeps the liquid or food hot for longer, since conductivity=heat retention. Finally in the case of larger pots or pans where you are actually cooking rather than just boiling water, you'll get hot and cold spots in the Ti pans, whereas the stainless has even heat distribution. The best of all for conductivity/retention is of course cast iron but obviously even for me who goes bike camping / bushcrafting that's just too heavy.
However if you want to go light and will just be boiling water, Ti is the way to go. People saying it isn't strong or can't withstand high temperatures are talking rubbish, Ti alloys are used in aerospace engineering, components for light artillery pieces, industrial extrusion presses which are subject to extremely high temperatures and stresses, and much more due to it's superior strength.
I use both. I nest a Stanley 24oz pot, with one mug, in a 750ml titanium cup and both lids.
Great vid, thanks 👍 I use the Stanley without the plastic tumbler. Instead I nest an Ozark Trail SS cup (from Wally's) to the bottom of the Stanley to give me two containers to boil with and some hot lips so I don't burn myself. This set-up works for me and even when my decides to come with. Thanks for sharing. 👊💥🏕️
One of the two best gear reviewers on utube along with junkyard fox great job with how you break things down and the way u show gear in use instead of just looking at the gear and showing some specs. I also like how u show competitive options around the same size and price 👍🏻. Personally my favorite cook set is the pathfinder bottle and cup along with there light pots in titanium,aluminum and steel plus I threw in 2 small titanium plates a titanium bowl and titanium sporks. For the pot I have there aluminum and the larger steel pot which is bigger but still fairly light because the steel is thin enough to keep it light but tested hard to make sure the thin steel would hold up and it does and the steel pot fits the plates a titanium cup and titanium bowl in the pot and there water bottle comes with a great steel cup that can be nested in the steel cup it comes with plus I threw in a pot holder that alout of people use for opening fish mouths but work great for hanging pots over a fire to boiling water or cooking and would probably cost $150 for this whole setup but it’s well worth it especially if your in the woods alout I spent over a yr looking for the best cook set options I could find pathfinder cook sets, bags like the Finland border patrol bags like there SAVOTTA Jaeger 1000 Cordura throughout the whole bag it’s a beast with tons of options for carrying axes saws etc great Molle sexy bag very very tough as 1000 Cordura is very strong and would easily last a life time great zipper some water proofing not enough in a long heavy rain storm so many options they do sell a larger bag for like $349 but I’m a small guy and a 31 liter pack should be plenty it also comes with a great options for hanging small tents wool blankets and even a small tent and a foam bed which is just better for me so I don’t have to blow up pads when I can just use a heavy foam mattress strapping on the bottom sides front untop and the base though even the medium size version can be pricey from $200 up to $220 but is rated to carry 100 kilograms which is around 200 pound I think which means I don’t have to worry about weight to much I own a Duluth bushcraft bag for $250 a Teton that was around $100 and my 511 rush 72 bag which is tough with a ton of options costs around $150 and a hidden woodsman haversack I’m guessing cost just under $100 which is great when u don’t want to carry everything it makes for a great lightweight haversack made tough materials maybe a good hunting option light but big enough for a knife and a trash bag to cut up your kill and put just the good meat on so u can carry the meat with less weight plus it leaves two of your arms that can carry what u decide to use for hunting whether it’s a hunting rifle shot gun bow and arrow crossbow sling shot etc.and a fishing gadget which would work great I went with the aluminum yoyito hand real small light. I agree it’s a light pricey at like $70 if u get this haversack with 32 pound line though u can switch the line to whatever pound line u like to use I use 16 pound line on my rods which can catch fish easily that weigh double maybe more depending on your patience and if I catch a 32lb fish I’d be pumped never caught a fish over 15 pounds anyway also the yoyito can be setuped to hang on a branch and just left in the water so u don’t have to stand there all day waiting for a fish while I can fish with my rod until that yoyito catch’s a beast easy to see a hit on the yoyito because the branch would start moving plus I put a small bell on the line two so I can use more rods different ways of using bait etc. I even saw one on naked and afraid has a few more upgrades from the cheap plastic ones that won’t last 1/2 as long as the yoyito plus the yoyito comes in a great Cordura small case with Molle straps so I can hand it on the outside of your bag especially if you only buy bags with Molle does even have to be everywhere but enough for a few more woodsy tools as well as making it easier to carry wool blankets a styrofoam sleeping pad small tent and a small bivy along with fire kit a sharpening kit some food for energy water purification Paracord rope etc and even after all this I can still fit an extra change of clothes a mini steel grate for cooking meat. Sorry for the book. I could of went even longer but I’m tired
I definitely connect with the Stanley one!
fyi with that keyring mod, you can split the ring a little bit and thread the little metal sheet that keeps it attached to the lid to keep it from falling over against the lid and burning your fingertips when you boil with it. Love the video Gideon. Had a variant of both kits for a few years now and love them both. I modded the Stanley with a bail though cause i like hanging my pot instead of balancing. Too many times i have smacked my pot somehow and put out my embers.
I have the Stanley set and a similar titanium 750ml cup I mostly keep the smaller one in my day pack but if I plan on a longer trip I'd take both, nested together.
When my wife joins me she would carry one with one of the plastic cups and I would have the other.
I use the Stanley. I also have the knock off burner edit: the knock off burner I have has a push button spark for ignition. It’s worked flawlessly for about 4 years.
What kind is it?
I have the Stanley cook set and I love it. Thanks for the review.
my 2c. I have the Stanley (for cost reasons) and I just picked up a second so I can pick the set that I want. I have one set that has a Toaks 450 mug in it with 2oz alcohol container a lighter, a pot stand for a Trangia or similar stove, and then some tea packets.I have the lid on and then it's held down with ranger bands. on top goes my alcohol stove (Trangia clone). The stove has a seal and will hold about 3.3 oz. of fuel. So this all in one setup will last a few days. I got the other one to have a similar setup to what you showed with a canister stove setup. I think Toaks 750 would be better by far for weight, but with this I get a cup as well as the pot to cook in. So even though it's heavier, I think it'll work out better
Great video. I'll be looking to pick up that Stanley stainless set
Here in the UK the Stanley cookset is available from some online suppliers here but it ain't cheap at more than $30 converted, we can get titanium pots for the same or less. But I'd go with stainless every time as it conducts better than Ti, so it will cook / boil quicker once up to temperature, and it will keep the water/food warmer for longer. The Stanley frypan (skillet) is also available here but it's much more expensive, around $45-50 but again this is better than Ti equivalents as it doesn't have hot and cold spots which Ti does on larger cooking surfaces. If I didn't already have great stainless steel milsurp gear which I love - Dutch Army canteen cup with Pathfinder lid, and Dutch Army mess tins with lid/frying pan, I'd buy the Stanley cookset and frying pan.
I bought a MSR piezoelectric starter and I have now switched to waterproof rechargeable plasma lighters, makes life a whole lot easier
Very nice. I really like the Stanley system.
I have that same Stanley.. I keep 1 factory cup in it as well as my Cook n Escape titanium cup. Nice setup. I don't use pocket stoves though, I just build a fire or Dakota firehole.
I have the Stanley cook set. It’s simple, rugged and just plain works. The few extra oz of weight doesn’t bother me so I’m not going to upgrade to titanium. If anyone is watching this and still skeptical about the Stanley I say don’t hesitate to get one.
there are also 3-5 bucks stainless "can-cup pot" with lids, real budget option and works just fine, if you can find one
Proud Stanley user. Stanley all the way! Thanks for the comparison.
I have a Stanley cook set as well. As of late I use the Göetland (German steel) canteen and cook pot, and the Göetland GI mess kit. Each are around $15 on Amazon. If weight is an issue the metal canteen could be swapped out with a nalgene canteen. I usually use an alcohol burner or camp fire coals to cook.
Which one do you like better now?
Like most Stanley owners, I don't use the green cups and this helps with weight. I have considered getting the titanium cup for backpacking but love my Stanley too much to stop using it just to save on a little weight. It's such a solid piece of gear with an excellent price point and therefore it will always be my go to cook set with camping, backpacking, picnics, etc. Thanks for the review. I subscribed to your channel.
Great video! My only 2 cents would be the Stanley cup is solid but if weight is an issue, replace it with the popup cup. Then flip the fuel canister upside down and place it inside on the bottom of the Stanley kettle. Nestles nicely. This also offers more room for other items.
I made a complete cook kit out of the Stanley cook pot, made a camo cover for it, stores the fork, knife and spoon too !!!
How do you decide which you use? Since you have the lighter option, what is the benefit of the heavier?
Great question, I usually go with the “deluxe” set up. I only use the Stanley Do you augment and the lighter one if we have multiple people going on a hike or trip, or someone else is going with me and I need to mugs over just the single.
I own both cook pots. Can't lose with either.
Nice comparison video. I have never enjoyed using sporks. They don't work well as either a spoon or a fork, so I carry a folding version of each.
If you want to save even more with the stanley set use a different stove. Could use the BRS 3000 approx. $17. Or use an alcohol stove like a Trangia knockoff (needs a pot stand) or make a cat can stove which is it's own pot stand. As others have mentioned the $5 Ozark Mountain Stainless Steel Cup works great.
Original Trangias aren't that expensive, about £15 here, i.e. $20, and they're well made and robust. I use it inside a Lixada-type folding pocket size twig stove, which perfectly serves as both pot stand and windshield, plus I do actually burn twigs in it when I can, and as a backup or firestarter in wet weather, I carry a couple of solid fuel tablets (actually FireDragon gel).
You can cut the cup and have two cups because it double insulated fyi
SR71 Blackbird spy plane was made of titanium because it was the only material in the world that could withstand the repeated and very high temps of flying so high and fast , so yeah it's apparently fine on a campfire lol :)
There is an old song Bye Bye Blackbird - I've always wondered what he was referring to. Thanks to you now I know! If you don't know it, it's a great song on ukulele.
6;36 this is good little kit if need only one day travell trip, but if go week or more travel you need lot better all parts.real good cooking set and axe and many other stuff, big backbag need full stuff and water and food. pocket foldable water tank have best 2 and 5 liter tank.
Great video! It looks like I'll be going for the Stanley then.
Well thought out
Well presented
A lot of information
Enough to make up your own mind and make your own cook kit
I don't go by Amazon reviews. There are 1 star reviews of the Mora 511 that say it's junk because they got it wet & it rusted. Saying it's junk because you don't know how to use it isn't a review to me.
I saved weight on my Stanley by getting rid of the plastic cups.
You could totally do that and use the Wildo cup and that would help
gideonstactical yeah I’m going to look into the Wildo Cup.
Three-piece Bundeswehr mess kit!!
To compensate for the weight leave your portable spa at home.
Great video great Channel thanks👍

excellent I was looking for this exact topic
What would be good is if Stanley incorporated a mini stove in their cook sets.
Seems the Stanley only weighs more due to their better mug
How much faster does the titanuim boil what's boil times

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, CAN YOU PLEASE DO A REVIEW, FIELD TEST, SPINE WHACK TEST ON THE INEXPENSIVE CRKT CRAWFORD AND KASPER FOLDER
Is there an option for family cooking sets ? Maybe for a group of 4 to 5 and just having one cooking set for the group? Could anyone point me to that video?
Yea but you get more Oz's in the Stanley
Which cook set would work best for the "Big Igloo"?!
Not sure are you talking about a cooler?
I have the Stanley and I think its hard to beat. I certainly understand weight saving and that is a valid consideration but the Stanley is durable and holds extra gear. While I like the green cups, I usually use a Walmart stainless steel cup that is only $5 and is almost an exact copy of a Glacier cup which cost twice as much. The cook pot nestles in the cup leaving lots of room inside the pot for storage.
Stanley with different heating item
Nice setup... Pretty cool video. I like that idea of two cooksets for various budgets and applications.
I've build for myself recently two cookset kits with pretty much the same idea in mind. One is cheap and minimalistic for a bug out bag or weekend backpack. The other cookset is bigger, heavier, has better gear and had a lot more features for longer adventures with more practicality and comfort in mind. I haven't had a chance to try it yet due to the lockdown in my area but I definitely look forward to.
Whatever the kit there's one thing that I would recommend to have though would be an extension for the gas canister. I'm not sure how it's called exactly. It's just one of those plastic things with foldable legs that you clip on the base of the gas canister to extend its footprint on the ground and keep everything stable when you cook. That doesn't add much weight to the kit. The costs just a few bucks and that gives you some piece of mind in knowing you have less chance to waste your food and water on the ground. I have one on both my kits.
Pocket rocket is now almost 100$ usd
I think you are looking at the deluxe. The original is $50 on Amazon right now.

Warm vinegar cleans carbon on pots instantly.
@Soda Popinski everything in the world looks used after it's been used
@Soda Popinski I think it went off topic. In the Far East they clean totally black huge woks by heating them and simply throwing in vineger. No scrubbing, instantly all the carbon disappears. And we are talking about serious amounts of carbon buildup in Chinese food places etc. Same in India etc.
Those cups are actually hollow. I hate to think what they would weigh otherwise.
There is a modification you can make on those plastic cups to where you can have one cup in there and still have two cuz those cups are hollow on the inside look up waypoint survival Stanley cup hacks on RUclips same channel you're on he has all sorts of hacks for that Stanley 2 cup cook set one is for a bail handle the sweet little modification no drilling needed
Msr kettle
Thanks dude
Great kits. I use the Stanley with the brs and it works fantastic. I recently piced up the msr gas canister just because it fits in the cup but gosh their expensive conpared to the Walmart iso pro
Don't buy titanium mugs. To test the theory step on one. Then step on the steel variant. Only one survives. Buy stainless steel.
stanley have better because can add in good lot better polymer cup, and all same stuff and little more too.first seen silicone cup not has good newer not good use.
👍
Informative video my friend

It's stainless steel, not stain-free steel. One day, these budget cook sets are gonna rust and you will have to throw them away. And then you're gonna see why spending extra for titanium can actually save you money in the long run. Poor people spend more than rich people for such a reason.
Been camping n hikeing/camping all my life. I'm now 48 and have used stainless and aluminum from the get go. Still have several pieces of original kit. I appreciate ur point and it does have its place. The issues us "poor" people have (some, maybe more) is thier not taking care of thier kit. Cleaning/drying and storeing. My favorite cup I got from grandpa. The old school steel coverd w/the white n blue enamel. Dented n chipped still works as new no rust. Could go on n on. Definatley junk out there but a mid to low range stainless/aluminum can be found n last a lifetime. In the end a personal choice. U are correct tho. Paying more for top quality for certain things is wise indeed! Have a great day
If you don't think that titanium oxidize, too, I've got some bad news for you.
Between heat stress, oxidation, and wear from cleaning, any cook pot will eventually wear out.
All things will eventually fail. But if you take care of it, you can make it last for quite a long time.
@@wanderingcalamity360 Titanium does oxidize, in fact, it oxidizes very quickly. But the oxidization layer is extremely tough and not toxic like rust.
@@wanderingcalamity360 Sure aluminium also has tough oxidized layer (anodized aluminium) but aluminium itself is a neurotoxin. Meaning you're relying on an oxidization layer not to get poisoned. A big scratch or many small scratches on the pot can expose pure aluminium and it can leak into food, especially acidic food. Expect your brain to be poisoned and overtime, your memory will be affected, you'll become forgetful. Titanium itself is non-toxic to the human body (that's why surgical implants made from titanium). Its oxidization layer is tough and even when scratched, the titanium beneath will form a new layer, this will happen forever. The only downside to titanium is that it absorbs and releases heat very quickly, so if you want your food to be warm after cooking for a long time, titanium is not ideal.
