There isn't a flame pattern that you can see really.It doesn't shoot flames out of the holes in the burner.It shoots flames into the middle of the burner and then up to the pot.So if I take a picture,it just looks like a blue light under the pot.

If you just take what you actually need to cook with,it's about 6 oz......Stove,pot,lid,fork.You have to remember,it's made out of stainless steel not aluminum,it will last a lifetime.You can't step on this and crush it.
