Toaks 1.6L pot / fry pan review and demonstration

Unboxing and review of Toaks 1.6L pot/ fry pan. The first part of this video is the unboxing, the rest is a demonstration cooking with it. Over all.... I love it! Handle can get hot though but I just use the orange case it comes in.

[@BooLee01]

That's my kind of camp meal. I would have thrown in a couple of slices of Spam, though.

[@deborahdurham9249]

thanks for the baby wipe tip. Makes good sense and conserves your water. Nice.

[@samuel97355]

Great work trailkilla....your videos are getting better every time and I like your style more than sintax...but don't tell him

[@gablia2002]

I just watched a dude cook 2 eggs.......and enjoyed it..

[@powercourageandwisdom]

Right?!...

[@sactwnrob]

Good job. Not a lot of people know how to cook in titanium toaks pots and pans.

[@thetrailkilla]

It is a skill and butter is my secret. Haha. But really you got to finesse the flame 🔥 thanks for watching

[@rickcaldwell6174]

I grew up eating that. Good video man.

[@twinbo100]

Nice cooking demo mate, looks like the key is, using low heat and well oiled pan. Thanks for sharing this. Atb... Gary.

[@DoughNationBox]

Great review! I'm glad to see that titanium doesn't burn! -- Question: What type of stove are you using? Thnx.

[@thetrailkilla]

Jinx117 Its a MSR wisperlite.

[@DMFK1981]

Thanks for the vid. I was on the fence about the 1600ml. Excellent use of butter.

[@NGMonocrom]

+1 about being on the fence. There's almost nothing about the 1600ml Toak's on KZbin. This vid. convinced me it's the right Ti cooking kit for me.

[@Semeion7]

WOW Nice. No burning food at botton! Incredible! BTW give me the link to buy this spatula please, seens like a very nice spatula for backpacking.

[@SwoopdySwoop]

the only thing your missing now is some little packets of kikkoman soy sauce.

[@thetrailkilla]

Lol. True. I grew up on egg rice and soy sauce. Hahaha

[@ghost650rwc]

Accidentally ordered the 1100ml. Hopefully it works okay to cook 2 eggs at a timr.

[@donaldpepera2928]

I bought the 2.0 liter Toaks pot. The lid isn't a skillet, but I added a little nonstick frying pan and sawed the handle off because I have a potlifter. It all nests and I can keep my utensils, Trangia and gas stove inside.

[@OutLan]

Nice vid. You've convinced me I need to pick this one up.

[@foreverjim5240]

cool review. just wondering if it is possible/easy to remove the handle while cooking so it doesnt get to hot, or would it be to hard to attach while on the stove. i know u wouldnt want to knock over the pot trying to fight with it.

[@thetrailkilla]

Conductormang Johnson well the problem is with the handle on the pot that does not remove, it is fixed in place. the fry pan/ lid handle removes, but that does not get hot. This problem is the only thing that i dont like. but I still love the versatility and how light it is.

[@RonMTube]

Thanks for the review. That fry pan looks just about right to pass the Spam Singles test. The frypan lids on smaller pots just aren’t wide enough to be of much practical use.

[@treywilly431]

Goals makes good products, for the cost and weight. I think I bought the 1300 ml

[@andyfairbrother4924]

Useful vid Trailkiller. I've been looking for titanium cookware, but have had doubts about its usefulness beyond boiling water. Your use of plenty of butter works well for the eggs, but I'm curious to know, if you take butter on hikes, how do you stop it from turning to liquid? Also, what kind of rice are you cooking there, some kind of easy-cook? Great video.

[@thetrailkilla]

I only use butter in colder temps. The rice is regular. Instant rice in a bag works with no butter.

[@donaldpepera2928]

I made oatmeal in mine with no more sticking than stainless.

[@scottsmith6571]

I do like mountain house chilli mac an beans

[@VernonZachary]

Awesome review man! I've been looking for a nice cooking set and I think you've given me my answer. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more videos!

[@Madmuttonbird]

Outstanding looking watch. What brand & model is it fella ? ATB Mark.

[@thetrailkilla]

Mad Muttonbird Its a Nixon.

[@ismelltoast]

Great demonstration man. I really enjoy watching you and Sintax77 make videos.

[@danielbradshaw4025]

Great video...I have the 900ml and fit the 750 inside it and then in the very center of it all is toaks cup that holds like two cups water. They are nice

[@stevearmstrong9071]

So Mike; when is you debut on the Food Channel? lol Great review, looks like a keeper!

[@thetrailkilla]

Lol. I love too cook. Well.... I love to eat so therefore I must cook. I'm always trying to push the limits with cooking while camping. Giving things a little twist. I will start sharing more in my videos.

[@dvrapant]

I wish they would make pan spray in one of those little tiny spray bottles. I guess I can do olive oil that way. Anyone do this and what spray bottle works good? Cool vid. I'm getting the 1100 pot with pan lid.

[@thetrailkilla]

No need for spray just use a small travel container and drip some on and spread.

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

Kinda glad I'm getting into the game now a days instead of when I was younger. Oh the money I would have spent without youtube reviews. Good review "TrueKilla"

[@thetrailkilla]

Hope you like it!!

[@Jakelol1980]

I totally agree. Before youtube and internet you just had to trust the salesman or if someone you knew had one.

[@ChristohperReynolds]

Do you know the weight of this cook system together with your stove and canister? I have a buddy that uses the Camp Chef version of the Jetboil system. I know that this is supposed to be lighter, but I'm curious how much lighter.

[@Moomin-qt1nz]

Thank you for the review! Do you think that’s an ideal size for 2-3 people to cook rise or other food? Can a smaller size be enough?

[@prominence2826]

This is what I am interested in as well. I am looking to cook food for 2 people (2 six foot five guys) I’m curious if I should get the 1100, 1300, or the 1600 pot/pan combo. Any tips for me?

[@cannack]

i heard for those pots you can use a scotchbrite pad to clean them up good!

[@ExitTheMatrixVR]

Can you use on open fire.

[@rogerkomula8057]

I ordered the 2.0 liter Tokes with lid you can't cook on, because that's how I roll.

[@rogerkomula8057]

I also cut pieces off silicone kitchen items to make custom hotpads that also keeps things from jangling in the pack.

[@jkno]

Excellent video, this convinced me on the 1600 ml Toaks Titanium! Thanks.

[@thetrailkilla]

+jkno enjoy

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

I am in need of a new cookset, and do not want another coated aluminum type. How is the durability with this--would they stand up well to normal use over several years without denting/crushing? Also, is this company trustworthy re this being 100% titanium?

[@thetrailkilla]

so far so good. all my light Wight stuff I treat with care. it's durable enough for me.

[@jennybrandon2393]

Looks very similar to my Stoic pot and lid that I got on Steep & Cheap for an amazing price. Super light!

[@thetrailkilla]

+Jenny Brandon I will have to look into that

[@uptrail7169]

We are always looking for new ideas for backpack cooking. Mountain House is good sometimes, but we are looking for other home foods that will work on the trail. I do like the fry pan with the pot.

[@Pakkerotten]

what up man have you used it on a hard fire without it loosing the shape, not that i dont like you setup i just prefere fire.have a good one

[@thetrailkilla]

no I have not. Im not sure how it would fair. I would assume this is for small canister stuff due to the slim design.

[@pappy451]

the only thing i don't like is the handle on the fry pan/lid . a buddy has one and it constantly fails to hold . seen him lose breakfast twice because of it . you just experienced the same in your reveal... with no food in it ! poor design , they need to look at how Stanley does their folding handle on the Adventure Cookset . it has a locking tab that keeps it from folding under pressure/weight . good video reveal and demo . slap some bacon bits and hot sauce on that and ...good to go .

[@thetrailkilla]

Pappy I figured out that if you flip the handle around during cooking it won't happen

[@pappy451]

i never thought of that .good idea , i'll pass it on to my buddy . i find it hard to assess whether or not any of this gear will work for me . you did a great review and demo , but without holding these things in your own hands and seeing what they are first hand it's hard to choose . thanks for the tip .

[@jerrybobteasdale]

Needs hot sauce.

[@ImTheKingOfHyrule]

I think I'd prefer to get the bail handle version and then buy the pan separately. Only problem is I don't know if the bail handle version's stuff sack would fit the pot and pan together since the pan adds about an inch of height, unless Toaks uses the same stuff sack for both versions. **EDIT** the two versions do include different sized sacks, but Toaks sells the bigger stuff sacks on their site for $4. In the end it costs more but I think it'd be worth it to get all the features I'd want.

[@uncatila]

i ordered the one with the bail handle. ill stuff my sleeping pad in it so it wont take space. if i get a pan ill get a wider dedicated pan.

[@thetrailkilla]

+Patrick Fealy nice man let me know how you like it!!

[@lookin2kayakandbike664]

I’m just entering the camping world and found your nice channel. For someone on a budget, could the Toaks line also pull double duty for cooking at home? What is the brand of the collapsing bowl? Thanks and I’ve subbed, 👍.

[@scottsmith6571]

I got the Keith rice cooker works awsome

[@terryrobinson4197]

Tip for cooking "white" rice. Double amount of water to rice, bring both to rolling boil with a lid or cover, turn heat off and leave for 20 minutes. Viola perfect fluffy rice. SAVE ALL THAT GAS. Try at home works every time.

[@thetrailkilla]

Thanks

[@rkf2746]

Hope to see more video's from you. Buuuut--this is the second time I've seen you mixing rice with fried egg's. Is that a east coast thing? :-)

[@thetrailkilla]

Lol. No. My grandfather used to make it. He would put some soy sauce on it. He was mostly Japanese.

[@rkf2746]

@@thetrailkilla Ok. Just curious. Actually I was telling my hunting/camping buddy about it. We're going to try it. We both like rice and fried eggs. :-) While I'm here, wanted to mention the video's you and Shaun,( Syntax77) do together. You guy's have a chemistry, coupled with knowledge, that I have not found in any other video's of this type. Great job man, keep at it. I'm 68 years old, and have done a lot of just day hiking. Since I've been watching your, and the Syntax video's, you have truly inspired me to take the hiking to another level. Pretty much have my backpacking gear put together. Anxious for early spring here in northern Colorado, and do some camping. Once again, great job. Keep at it. God bless. Roger

[@WoodsTrekkinAdventures]

Very timely video as I am looking for a new pan to cook in, looks great. Thanks for showing us how it's done!

[@craigmooring2091]

Nicely done. Unboxing and field demo. Very helpful.

[@thetrailkilla]

+Craig Mooring thank you

[@attchaphomemovies3620]

Chef Trailkilla! Was hoping for some spam to join that party of wholesome goodness.

[@thetrailkilla]

Lol!!! Yes. That would be better than the bacon. Now I want some...

[@thetrailkilla]

Actually in this demo I did not use bacon or spam.... I failed. However I did do bacon in the black forest trail vid

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

WAS WONDERING DO YOU THINK THE PAMPERED CHEF METAL SPATULA WILL SCRATCH THE TITANIUM POTS ?

[@jimbojet8728]

That’s a real good size pot for, even the single hiker who likes to cook a bit! The rest of the cook set should easily fit into it? Pocket rocket/Trangia burner? I just couldn’t put this new expensive Ti pot onto a fire! A good vid, thanks.

[@donaldpepera2928]

I have the 2.0 and keep a Trangia AND Soto Amicus inside. And an adapter valve to put the Soto on 1 lb. bottles and another to refill 1 pounders from BBQ size gas bottles because why not? If it's just sitting there...

[@deborarichardson9870]

need your help. my son is about 6 ft. 2 . i am having trouble finding a sleeping pad he can fit on. light weight is a must. we live in N.C so we will not be camping in temps too low. i have tried two different pads and he is not happy with either. any suggestions . comfort is not the main concern . i just do not want the kid to freeze to death. lol.

[@AJewFR0]

Nemo Astro insulated 20r. Best pad for the money that works well, very comfy. 6ft long.

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

Is that the 1300 ml pot and pan set by toaks?

[@getyourfitonproductions]

Just added the pot and pan to my amazon wish list. Thanks.

[@jwhamilton79]

is that the 1600 ml that's the one I have seen advertised?

[@lifeisgood070]

You always were a great cook on the sintax channel. You should almost do more videos on how to pack great meals and cook them. Seems like you're super interested in it too.

[@thetrailkilla]

+lifeisgood070 thanks, I'm interested in so much. I wish I had more time. Stick with me though, I will get in the swing of things soon.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

im looking at the 900 ml version..i wonder if the frying pan would even be big enough on that model to use..the 1.6 is barely big enough to use

[@danielbradshaw4025]

I have the 900ml and the pan would be perfect for a single egg and one sausage link.

[@danielbradshaw4025]

Daniel Bradshaw correction my pot is the 1100ml pot not the 900ml

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

what is the weight of the 1100?

[@danielbradshaw4025]

a hair over 6oz

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

thats real comparable to my 700 snow peak..i think it comes in around 4.5 ounces..and the lid is only a lid..not dual purpose

[@bishop1212able]

Great video TK. Have you had any problems with the handle collapsing under a heavier load than just two eggs, like loaded with rice? Bushcraft Barton video mentioned he had to make some adjustment to his pan because it collapsed under load.

[@bishop1212able]

This video did help me pull the trigger by the way. I also purchased the 750ml with bail and handle.

[@thetrailkilla]

actually yes I have had it flip down and lost some food. lol. Now I brace it with a finger and glove. should be a better lock on that thing.

[@richardwallsmith348]

Pls do a video on your pack

[@jameskocks4734]

the video ive been looking for thank you!

[@joebishop7909]

Can the fry pan be used as a double boiler on top of the pot ? Great video

[@thetrailkilla]

Joe Bishop this is a great question. I will find out and let you know. What would you cook that way and I will try it? Melting chocolate is the only thing that comes to mind but not in the woods. Haha

[@thetrailkilla]

Joe Bishop this is a great question. I will find out and let you know. What would you cook that way and I will try it? Melting chocolate is the only thing that comes to mind but not in the woods. Haha

[@joebishop7909]

You could cook oatmeal or grits on the bottom while cooking eggs or sausage on the top, if the fry pan will sit on the bottom pan somewhat straight. If it will sit on the bottom pan, I will be purchasing it.

[@thetrailkilla]

Joe Bishop ok. So the top can sit on the main pot however with a slight tilt. Main pot can also sit on the top but with very little room to put anything in. So if grits were in the main part the top could have sausage but I feel like you would need to take on and off the lid a lot to stir so it won't burn. Not sure if sausage would cook. This metal is so thin heat does not disperse well. I would just cook the grits then cover the pot with bowl to keep hot and then fry the sausage with top.

[@thetrailkilla]

Joe Bishop I definitely think the double boiler idea will work so heat distribution is better. I will try it out in a few days and let you know. Hell I might even film it. Haha.

[@nolobede]

And what not.

[@BobbiWeb]

Sold!

[@rippinrogers]

Ive always loved the outdoor cooking vids on youtube. Keep it up.

[@baseballman74]

Hi Mike~ I'm surprised that nothing stuck to ur titanium cook set. I have been staying away from the titanium cook set due to the cleaning parts... How is the cook set working now? Still stuck free?

[@thetrailkilla]

Yeah. I only use it for rice and eggs and I use lots of butter. I think that's the key

[@thetrailkilla]

Also I fiddle with the heat a lot to make sure I don't burn
