    UPDATED INFO:
    I RECENTLY BOUGHT 2 OF THOSE.
    Love them! The 900 Pot by Solo Stove fits perfectly. Also the 5 inch LODGE SKILLET fits perfectly because the Skillet's Buttom-Base is approximately 4.5 inches. Both items allow for more cooking volumes, full cans of Ready-made Soups, Chili, etc.

    You can boil 3 eggs in the pot with about 1 cup of water with the lid. Takes about 10 min or less.
    I buy the frozen hamburgers and they grill up great on the grill part, turning as needed...use the lid to stop any splatter. You can add an onion on the bottom while grilling.

    I just got one of these along with the MyMini sandwich maker. While I do have a stove, I don't really want to mess with dirtying up a big pot or pan just for me. With these two products I was able to cook a hot sandwich and some soup with no trouble. As a bonus, clean up was very easy.

    I got the mymini about a month ago and it is my primary cooking source. I can cook a whole pack of Raman in it without breaking it up. I just push it in without water first. And i add water after. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes to cook from cold. Like this and i still have a nice amount of soup left. As long as i don't overcook the noodles.

    I've read reviews that the skillet loses its non-stick coating quickly. As a replacement, I have the Stanley 3-pc adventure set, the pot has a lid and is calibrated, holds at least 24 oz.
    For even less money, there's a Walmart Ozark camping cup for about 5.50.
    If you happen to get both, they compliment each other when you're camping, and the lid fits either 👍

    I do 2 slices of bacon stacked in halves and covered. Works well. When done you can do an egg (over easy) or two (scrambled) in the bacon grease if you're into that. I hadn't tried the Ramen because it looked too small so your video was very helpful there. I am getting ready to take this thing on a road trip because the 260 watt power draw is easily run off my 400 watt inverters in the vehicle. Makes roads trips fun.

      Actually, the skillet gets hotter than the pot and works wonderfully to cook a hamburger or chicken patty. I use the skillet for pancakes too, just it gets hot and no handle when removing items from the skillet. I love mine. The non stick isn’t very good on the pot though, and I’ve been searching for a replacement that’ll fit.

    Sorry this is so late in commenting, but I just found your channel and subscribed! Thanks for this cool demo and thorough examination of MyMini! I think you can do a lot with this; great for college dorms, I would think (if they're careful and don't burn the place down as college kids are wont to do!), and it would be good for someone in a small apartment. The only downside, really, is the cleaning aspect. I am so OCD about cleaning; it would bother me that you can't really sufficiently clean the bottom part, but such is life. Can't have it all for what it is. LOL I look forward to more of your videos.

    My mini has a huge mkt for car/truck/travel cooking. You don't require a lot of power to make delicious HOT fresh food. 750W inverter are very affordable and can power one mini Appliance at a time.

    Get a LG spoon smack the the F out of the noodles in the bag. Usually 8 smack different spots and you can dump . Add Badia® complete and a slice of cheese for a great broth.
