Do you guys use cookware while touring ?
if yes which one do you use ?

Yes.

Older MSR Blacklite set, but I don't carry the fry pan. The size and shape of the pots are perfect for the kind of cooking I do, which is on the more elaborate side, and I eat a lot. Spices, all cooking utensils and cleaning equipment nestles inside to save space. If you are looking for something very light, look elsewhere.

i'm thinking of ordering the jet boil 8 companion cup

plus some extra jet boil bowls

its made of titanium and comes with a stove i think it's perfect

No. My kitchen is a plastic cup and spoon.

I can't say enough good things about Trangia. Very easy to use; the fuel is not volatile (it uses alcohol). It is lightweight and the burner nicely nests within the cookware. You can get it in lots of different configuration. It is bullet proof and I've gotten it to work well in almost any kind of condition you can imagine.

Here is one happy camper using his Trangia,

LTwo issues with titanium. First, it has a higher density than aluminum which means that for any given volume of metal, titanium is heavier. Companies tend to use less titanium for each cooking pot, cup, etc. than they do aluminum but still, aluminum is lighter if the are of a similar thickness.

Second, titanium is an absolutely awful material to heat. The heat transfer is significantly lower than aluminum which means it's harder to cook with. If you are just going to boil water, a titanium vessel will work okay . However if you are going to try to actually cook with it, it's not that good. It has too many hot and cold spots.

I have the MSR Quick2 for trips with others and a MSR Quick1 (titanium) for solo. The Quick2 is a better set.

I use this .75 litre MSR aluminum cook pot a lot. It's strong enough to used over camp fires, but it does collect a lot of carbon and soot and generally needs to be stowed in it's own bag to avoid soiling my other gear.

Boy scouts in the 50's we just sewed a trouser leg cover for a number 10 tin can &use a wood fire pit. .

This is a repost from 2011, but my setup hasn't changed.
I use an Imusa aluminum mug from Fiesta market. It doesn't come with a lid and I looked and looked for one that fit. I never found one, so I pounded one out from a piece of flat aluminum. Also, the handle tended to get super hot, so I removed it and left just enough of a nub to attach a removable handle made from bicycle spokes. It's a light-weight setup that cost me $4.00 for the pot and wooden knob. (I had the spokes and sheet of aluminum laying around my shop - that would probably add another $6.00 to the cost.) The windscreen, stove, pot-stand and spoke-handle all fit inside the mug.

I cook and eat out of one pot. I use a pot cozy to save fuel and to make it easier to handle the pot while eating. To do the type of cooking that I do I need a shallower wider pot so that I can sauté vegetables. The evernew pots in this shape are under 4 oz.

Maybe I am missing something, but where does it say that the titanium cup linked to above comes with a stove? I see a link at the bottom to the stove-cup set at $130. I see the Jetboil as useful if you are cooking "one pot" meals or making coffee, but I have never been able to understand its usefulness if you want to, say, sauté some meat and veggies and pair that with some rice or pasta.

And why the need for three additional bowls? Note that they are polypro, so they are not for cooking.

My Coleman Peak-1 stove fits in a cook-kit/container that consists of two square Al pots that can either be used separately or one placed over the other as a lid (also keeps the contents of the top one warm). A single pot-holder clamp serves for both pots plus a handle-less frypan that I also take if I plan to do some more significant cooking. When I store the stove inside the cook kit I place it in a plastic bag (such as a bread bag) to keep the pots clean and avoid any gasoline vapors.

seems like everyone agrees about MSR

well what a like about jet boil is it's light weight and the small size, although the cup is not ideal for cooking meat and veggies, so i said these extra bowl will do the job, probably not.
i thought it comes with the stove, apparently i was wrong

Maybe not the lightest or "most efficient" for those with electronic scales and thermocouples, it is just nice to use for real cooking, even gourmet recipies.

In foodie-land (France/Spain) I usually tour without cookwear and carry enough to make a cold meal if needed.
For weekend tours, I slim down my cook-wear for more instant meals style

waw really awsome the Trangia stove very small and usefull

i would like to but i dont live the united states

Alcohol stoves (Trangia, etc) are great as long as you don't need hot water NOW! They are also excellent for sauteing, etc, especially the Trangia, which has a lid with a sliding top to regulate the flame. There are a number of cooking kits which use the Trangia stove, but are lighter in weight than the Trangia brand models.

Jetboil is tops for heating water fast, and in the ti version, the lightest canister (butane) system. But it's lousy for sauteing, frying, etc. If you need to use one for that, get the Jetboil Minimo, which has a much better regulator than earlier models, also the gadget that allows non-Jetboil pans to be used, and the frying pan of your choice. BTW, the ti Sol, which is being taken off the market I hear, was very easy to ruin. The aluminum version was better at not self destructing, but still really only good for boiling water fast. If all you carrying is meals where you add water and stir, great. Otherwise, no.

cyccomute is correct: as sold, most ti pots and pans are lighter than Al models, but it is very poor conductor of heat, and thus not a good choice for real cooking. Also it's more expensive. Only get it if weight is your primary concern.

I also pack one of those tiny "one egg" skillets. I use muffin batter to make pancakes in it.

Definitely not. They would melt if you tried to put them on the burner. If you don't do elaborate cooking you can make do with one pot. I use two. I cook whatever is going with the pasta (e.g., olive oil, fresh garlic, onion sausage and vegetables) first, cover and set aside. In the second, larger pot, I cook the pasta. While I am draining the pasta, I put the first pot back on the stove to reheat. I use an MSR Dragonfly because it has great flame control and puts out a lot of power on full. My camp kitchen is more than one needs if only basic cooking/heating is done. I like to cook at home and when on the road so I am willing to carry the extra weight.

I think I am going to treat myself to one of these shortly:

Not much of a weight savings over the Dragonfly, but it's more compact.

I carry a 1.5 qt stainless steel lightweight pot with cover. In it goes a metal sierra cup, plastic bowl, with a spoon and fork. I also use one small paring knife and paper plates for a cutting board if needed. My "stove" is a 1/2 pint paint can filled cotton balls and denatured alcohol. The wind screen acts as a pot holder. Basic, simple and works well.

I use the Biolite stove. Love it....

oh yeah that stove...but it's expensive

I use a GSI Soloist cookset, which has been copied by MSR for more money. MSR sucks.

We use several different setups, depending on trip and season. The primary components can be mixed and matched to the anticipated needs.
-MSR Whsiperlite International stove, used in winter, and when fuel availability may be an issue. Empty liquid fuel bottles are almost impossible to carry on a plane.
-MSR Pocket Rocket Stove (3 oz.), used for almost anything. Big disadvantage is it is a canister stove.
-Snowpeak titanium pot, used on tours where little real cooking is anticipated
-Older set of nesting aluminum pots, used when more capacity is needed or when we plan on actually cooking rather than just heating food.

This is the MSR Pocket rocket and Titanium pot which we use on about 95% of our bike tours. It is also used a lot on our short winter trips

i need a light weighted cooking wear that can boil rice, pasta and you can fry with it vegetables, meat .. so i need here at least 2 pieces, most solo cook set are not suitable to fry they have big bowl and small one not for cooking like the GSI soloidt cookset i guess.
this one looks good
