Keith Titanium Multi-Function Cooker - Puerto Rican Arroz con Gandules

[@GrumpyGrunt]

I got one about 3 years ago. It's another one of my favorite pieces of camping gear (we seem to have a lot of the same shtuff). Perfect rice every time without babysitting it. Added bonus: it takes 15-20 minutes to cook rice in this pot...which is almost exactly as long as a Trangia burns a bit over 1 oz. of fuel = no chance of burning your rice. It also steams really well, for anything you would want that for at camp (buns, dumplings, pasta, eggs, veggies...) and is slow, but works as a strainer. Take care, Ernie.

We hackers in Asia love this product as rice is the main component of our food. I cooked many rice dishes with this (plus a pan) such as fried Chinese rice and Indian biryanies.

[@Mr.eTrain007]

I am considering one of these, and I love to cook Arroz Con Pollo with the Sazzon and Peas! Don’t know if this would work with this setup, but try putting a “dime” coin in the bottom (between the pot and liner) and as the water simmers you should hear the coin rattle. As the water gets close to empty or gone, it will stop making the noise and you know your done. I do this when I steam tamales. Thanks for the great video.

[@SupercriticalGear]

I use stainless washer for same purpose

[@ianarabit272]

BIG THANK YOU! I'm a Filipino and rice is staple to us even in the outdoors and I have to admit that its a challenge to cook rice using a titanium pot. This definitely changes things.

[@centeno11c]

WEPA! Awesome recipe for Puerto Rican rice.

[@rocketcitymoto2883]

I am going to go to the Mexican grocery store tomorrow to get the ingredients and use my Ti6300 to make some! Thanks for the recipe Ernie :) Hopefully, I can go visit Ponce again soon.

[@Oldsparkey]

Cooking rice ( real rice ) on the trail was always a pain. So I used a Bakepacker for several years as a steamer / cooker. Then a couple of years go Mass Drop ( now Drop ) had this cooked on there web site at a reduced cost. I got one and it was one of the smarter moves I have made. The nice thing is that it's not just for rice , it's truly multi function.

[@dominiquebt]

Thanks for this step by step recipe with the Ti6300. I just ot mine. I try to eat as much paleo as possible, but love rice and discovered sprouted brown rice when I lived in Japan. It is both more nutritious as well as easier to digest than white rice. Slightly sweet, nutty flavor.

[@jmayala1227]

Very nice, Ernie. Can you make some bushcraft mofongo next?

[@SpaceExplorer31]

🤣🤣🤣

[@bangalorebobbel]

Thanks for the demonstration - really nice piece of gear even though I think it is a nice to have more than a must have. Rice dishes can be nicely cooked in whatever simple pot without burning in or other hassles on the trail as well as at home, but for having little bit more comfort one can use such a thing. Still it needs sometimes some attention, as you nicely demonstrated, so it is comfort wise still quite behind an electric rice cooker or your high end Thermomix 😁 I really love rice dishes on trails and travels and prefer rice over pasta due to the small packaging volume and because rice doesn't need so much water for preparing as spaghetti & co. But, as said, rice can be cooked in any pot, no special equipment required. Same with pasta, couscous or whatever else.

[@andrewdavisca]

Finally a video with the Keith Ti cooker which provides some clear and informative guidance. Thank you

[@marcireale]

Thank you! This is a cooking system I’ve never seen before.

[@krod1180]

Love this video man!! Especially the Sofrito part... muy rico!

[@wordwalker3]

I haven't got the Ti 6300, yet, but I tried your recipe and it was quite tasty! One more choice on the menu. Keep up the good work with the videos.

[@HomeEF]

Awesome delicious 😋 Puertorrican arroz con gandures! I like the rice cooker too! 👍

[@johnburgin7478]

Thanks for the recipe. We’re always looking for new things to try

[@rickpollard1853]

I put a couple of ounces of water into the outer pot, just enough to reach the bottom of the inner pot. This speeds up the process so you don't have wait for the water to drain through the tiny holes in the steamer pot.

[@doctoordan]

Always enjoy videos that involve cooking while camping/ hiking. Got any good curry recipes?👍

[@teresafuller204]

What a great cooker it looks like. I just ordered the Keith Titanium Ti6300 Multifunctional Cooker. I will be doing my testing soon. I love your recipe and will be trying it out. I would love to see if soup would do grat in this. I think also if you have your rice and spice with a can of salmon pored on top cook it and make a great meal. Thanks for all you share and do.

[@masongates246]

yes please please find/do more recipes using this device. very very interested.

[@joaquinrodriguez9148]

Recently found you and like your videos bro and this one made subscribe keep going buddy from a fellow puertorrican saludos papa!!

[@PaleoHikerMD]

Gracias mi hermano!

[@jeannegrimberg5877]

Can the Redcamp gas canister stove BURNER be easily disassembled from its assembly to use in an ALOCS Multi Fuel stove? Thank you! By the way, thank you very much for the thorough backpacking/hiking and recipe information! 🇨🇦

[@urbanmountainpakks]

Recently found your page and like your videos, and this one made me subscribe. keep going my friend, from a fellow Puerto Rican. Take care mi pana.

[@miquistli3]

I do my eggs hard steamed with this contraption...6 at a time!

[@maninacan.6285]

I love and make Spanish rice at home, but I'd like to try that setup for outdoors. Looks awesome. Thanks . enjoyed the video.

[@jimoinsolvay]

Ive had one for a little more than a year now, so many easy & delicious recipes. Its nice to have a tasty meal in the middle middle of nowhere or when traveling. Great product, highly recommend.

[@geraldfitzgibbon7428]

See now my mouth is salivating. That looks sooo good

[@homermayo4967]

I have the same pot and love it looking forward to seeing more recipes from you thanks and keep up the great work love your channel

[@rickybritton7212]

Great job, man what a neat recipe, what a cool pot, my wife is Phillipno, rice is a must. THANK YOU ERNIE, another great 👍 review. Sincerely Rick from Mo, God bless

[@KelceyNickson]

I love my Keith cooker. Thanks for the recipe & demo!

[@kevshelley]

Thank you very much for the demo! Will definitely try on my trip this fall. ✌🏼

[@anhatur]

For a good low summer I use an alcohol stove with a simmer ring. It can go really low with no trouble. With gas stoves, I’ve seen warnings against running them at low for too long, probably because it’s first stage of burning becomes more or less its only stage, making thin parts inside the top of the burner go really hot.

[@titanpreparedness]

That looks like a great cook pot. I really like the double lock lid it has. Very nice bud

[@pamelaklemp5615]

That pot and your demo are a great team up. I would think it would be perfect for Spicy Italian Rice with Sprimp and Onions, stuffed into a Green Pepper with Crushed Tomatoes as the liquids. Those who eat meats it would be wonderful for Spicy Italian Meatloaf stuffed Green Peppers. That would be so cool on the trail say the first night after a fresh resupply.

[@DannyRiskit]

What? How did I not know Keith had this?!

[@3ckell3]

You went hard on the Goya....🇺🇸

[@albertgauche9271]

Have you ever tried making sushi rice with it? It would be fun to try.

[@danielsingh9415]

What's the diameter of the inner pot, will a small 110g gas canister fit inside? A trangia spirit burner, probably will, as it's quite a bit narrower, right? I have an Evernew knockoff burner that fits inside my 450ml cup, that fits inside my other 900ml pot with locking lid (the titanium version of the Stanley Adventure Camp cookset) from Lixada with a cross pot stand, windshield & folding spork. 2oz alcohol fuel bottle & lighter all fit inside. Bushbox titanium folding stove knockoff fits inside the bag. Sweet piece of kit. Tho if I put the small fuel canister inside, my cup doesn't fit, but I have a larger 900ml cup/pot to rehydrate my meals in - no plastic touching my food when hot. BPA-FREE? What is BPA for, what did they replace it with? BPF, BPS...?

[@nini_outdoors]

More recipes, please! There are so few recipes on KZbin or the interweb for this cooker, even though three years have passed since you posted this video. A new video with a new recipe would fill a void, and would be greatly appreciated :)

[@seand3103]

Roger on that rice bro!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@hobocyclistmike8558]

i would love to see how it would do with dry beans

[@msilverhammer]

Ernie, I have a few comments and questions... I notice that you wrote that rice, or arroz is not a good carbohydrate conscious choice, and probably the beans, or peas too. I would agree, as my research shows that most people who are eating "Keto Friendly" foods, try to avoid, or at least limit any consumption of white rice, or any high glycemic index foods, in an effort to avoid spiking their insulin levels. 1. My research shows that brown or wild rice may be more "Keto Friendly", but what do you think, and would those types of rice work in the recipe? I guess one would have to experiment. Living in Florida, I have a ton of Latin or Caribbean markets and foods available to purchase, and I typically use Jasmine Rice, but again, try to limit my consumption of rice, white potatoes, white bread, and try to instead eat greens, and cruciferous vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, along with foods that are mainly fat and protein. 2. Since your channel name has the word "Paleo" in the title, what would you say is the difference, or similarity between "Paleo" or "Keto Friendly" foods? 3. Since "Keto" based diets rely on fats or ketones for energy, rather than carbohydrates, or glycogen, what foods do you recommend for arduous or strenuous backpacking trips? It seems that the current science is telling us that "carbo" loading is not the way to go, Thanks!

[@stefanpoller7715]

Does this pot fits inside of the Heavy Cover Mess Kit? I saw the kit fitting a food can. I could not find the exact measurements.

[@chiefkirk]

Good one Ernie.

[@donaldpang]

going to get one and try out the chicken rice

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Looks good.

[@mastedi]

I am looking forward to seeing a more affordable knock off of this smart why-didnt-i-think-of-it-before cooker. Lets say a simple stainless steel one.

[@Jaxon1776]

The pot works great with a Ti Firebox Nano and a Trangia stove.

[@ajcaptures2787]

I have the same set up and I agree it's a great combo

[@zackwilliamson1024]

Could you fit a Soto windmaster and a 100g gas canister inside?

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

BORICUA hasta la muerte! Bro, what about the pernil though! 😂

[@lapicker1010]

Going to call you “Ernesto” from now on! So do you prefer that Redcamp stove to your DPower?

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Wow, $89 on Amazon, does it cook more than just rice? Thanks for the recipe.

[@JS-xs5hq]

You added "a heaping tablespoon of ?" Could you tell us what was in the bag? Sounds like a tasty recipe....thanks.

[@herbsmith6871]

Very cool 🤠

[@KaylynnStrain]

Bet you could brew coffee or tea in it, when done lift the inner cup and let it capture the grounds or tea bsg or leaves

[@stephenburnside9179]

What other one pot rice meals is it up to making?

[@purelyacademic]

What about cake or buns...can it do that?

[@joseroman6870]

Next recipe sancocho.

[@mastedi]

So the secret is in the three small holes at the bottom of the inner pot?

[@TNBushcrafter]

Shrimp and grits!

[@martybauza4293]

QUE RICO

[@mangomadness8635]

How much did you pay. Mine was 90

[@BCVS777]

Would love to hear your take on COVID 19 at this stage of the game.

[@mangomadness8635]

My take hasn’t changed since the beginning

[@jtucker4201]

Do you follow *Jaxx the Bearded Hiker*? He has a few videos which feature this cooker.

[@georges3242]

I bought one a year ago at list price. My wife is Chinese so we eat lots of rice. I thought this would entice her to try camping. She thought I was crazy to spend that much money on it. I guess she is not that interested in camping.

[@doneanddone4952]

I don't know that my mama would approve, so let us not tell her. LMAO

[@marktroiani5401]

Ramen please

[@stevenniewiedzial4883]

i think your suposed to add oil to the rice ,,,,thats how i learned to make puerto rico rice,,,,

[@Maria-In-Motion]

It’s like a backwoods instant pot 😂

[@chrisboddy9775]

Looked at this but the price is ridiculous

[@carmenmartinez2882]

chris boddy same here, I car/tent camp so I can spare space so for $35 I got the Can Cooker which allows me to cook lots of different things, rice or not and bigger or small quantities. I understand that’s not feasible for campers that go very light, as for me I will stick with regular pots for cooking rice or Can Cooker.

[@meccagold2009]

So are you Puerto Rican? 🇵🇷

[@reeks303]

Why are you always indoors?

[@SnowyAspenHills]

I think.its because it's about 100 degrees centigrade where he lives so stays in where he has air con. I would do exactly the same.

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Analogue Cat 3345 I think you mean 100 Fahrenheit, because 100 C=212 F. And people do camp in those Fahrenheit temperatures.

[@SnowyAspenHills]

@@carmenmartinez2882It was an intended exaggeration, whatever the temperature it gets very hot where he lives.

[@dustoff499]

Goya products… no thank you.

[@AquaTech225]

What I wish they had two versions this one an another holds the same but shorter wider would of been nice.
