Snow Peak Trek 1400 Titanium

Listen, if you're looking to backpack in comfort and do some 'gourmet' cooking, pick yourself up a good aluminum cookset. Aluminum isn't too much heavier than titanium, doesn't develop hot spots as much, and is more efficient at heat transfer. Just make sure you get your aluminum coated, or you'll end up with some nasty residual flavors. GSI Pinnacle series is an example of a rockstar backcountry kitchen setup.

No, titanium is for those of us who scrutinize every ounce of gear. Titanium pots are PERFECT for ultralight enthusiasts who really only need to boil water for drinking or for freeze-dried deliciousness. And when it comes to titanium cookware, I vote that Snow Peak is the tops: light, well-made, and durable. I use the Trek 1400 set for trips involving 1-3 hikers, and the Trek 900 set for solo jaunts. Even better, the 900 fits well inside of the 1400 and there is still room for a canister, stove, and more (backcountry.com even sells these two cooksets together in a combo). And even though I use it mainly for boiling water, if you decide to use your pot as a serving dish, you can easily wash off titanium to a taste-free clean.

Great pot. I used it for a backpacking trip. MSR teakettle fits inside and if you put around it small wash towel there is no rattle. Cleans easily and look well engineered enough for anything that you can think of. Update 07/14/09. Used it on the latest 8 dayd canon trip with Snow Peak BF canister stove. Proven to be yet again great pot for about 5 people freeze dried food, and then tea (2 boilings). With Snow Peak BF boiling is fast and stove in its case could be stored inside the pot. Pan (lid of the pot) is not usable for any baking as food stick, managed to make pancakes but it wasn't easy and required good amount of oil. On the positive side cleaning was easy even when food got stuck. On high flame got some colouration to the lid but none that can impact service, more of a character marks. Over all after around 3 years of usage I am satisfied in product.

This set performed like a champ in the Grand Canyon and at Black Mountain in CA. What I really liked about the cup/container is that I can fit a large size Giga Power Fuel, Snow Peak LiteMax Stove, a lighter, and a small spoon in there comfortably. I also like the handles on the mug because they never got hot! That is important to me because I love a big fat mug of black tea when camping. The pan/lid doesn't stay on tight but honestly I'd rather have it fit loose like it does so it doesn't get sucked on.

If you're looking for lightweight, sturdy cookwear, this pot is a great choice. It cleans up easy, and a lot of the smaller stoves fit perfectly inside it. The lid fits well and doubles as a pan. The stuff sack mine came with wasn't tight enough to stop the thing from making noise in my backpack, so I'd recommend securing the whole thing with a jumbo rubber band. Also, the handle can get really hot if you're not careful with the stove flame, so watch yourself. If you don't mind the price, titanium is where it's at.

I like a taller pot like this because you can leave some margin at the top of the pot to prevent boil over without loosing all of your capacity like you do with shorter and wider pots. The lid/pan isn't big enough for much cooking, but it makes a great dish for eating out of. The handles of both pieces are sturdy and, wile the ones on the pot do not extend very far and may get hot, I have never been concerned about them collapsing on me. Well done, Snow Peak.

The 1400 is a good compromise that boils a reasonable volume of water, but isn't needlessly heavy. The frying pan doubles as a lid, reducing the time it takes to heat the pot's contents in cold or windy weather. Putting the cook set in the stuff sack was a challenge, especially after stowing an MSR Whisperlite stove inside. I learned to do this more easily by setting the cook kit on the ground and sliding the stuff sack over it. This sure beat trying to drop the kit into the sack.

The two of us used the 1400 in combination with the S.P. Titanium Cookware - 3pcs. Both sets fit tightly together in the 1400 stuff sack, therefore packing compactly and quietly. We had all the pans we needed to do some lightweight creative cooking. PROS: large, well designed handles and lid, solid, excellent container for the entire kitchen(we used mini alcohol stoves). CONS: handles can get hot so a grabber could have come in handy(the "Mini Bull Designs' ISO" stove burns super hot).

I've used the 900 for years and I use this one when I have another person with me. This pot is great in terms of weight and ability to clean, but we use it mostly with dehydrated foods. In conjunction with a titanium spork, however, it can be a bit loud when scraping the last of the vegan ChiliMac.

used with my pocketrocket. stove fit inside pot with room for a spork and fuel canister too. only problem is that the frying pan handle wasn't as secure as i would like. when ever i was holding it i made sure that i squeezed that little bastard hard so it wouldn't dump on me.

I used the 1400 on my last snowshoe trip & was impressed by the lightweight titanium material & nesting ability. Great for boiling water & meal preparation but the top is a bit too small for doing almost anything but sauteing vegetables. I used it for a drinking & measuring cup.
