I would caution you on titanium's lack of non-stick qualities. In other words, things stick to titanium worse than any other material except for bare aluminum. Therefore things like oatmeal, pasta (mac & cheese specifically), and other constant stir foods need to be taken very seriously when using titanium. If you turn your head for a moment and stop stirring, your likely to get sticking like you've never encountered before. Non-stick coatings are available on titanium, but aren't very good at 'non-stick' and tend to wear off quickly. These coatings are nothing like teflon which doesn't bond to Ti. The one thing titanium does exceptionally well is boil water. It's also incredibly light and most importantly, unbreakable for it's weight. This is the real appeal to Ti. It can take serious abuse and the joy of packing it away is something you want to relive over and over again. Be careful not to leave it on the stove without any fluid in the pot. Because most Ti pots are very thin, it could, at best, cause the pot to mis-shape and, at worst, melt it completely. The bueatiful coloration (blue and copper tints) makes using it an art project. I love my Ti pots and recommend them once I understood their limitations.
