this titanium set is mos def light. i also own the smaller version of this same set (both SAC purchases). as advertised, it is light and you can cook things in it and put it in a backpack. non-stick? no. rices, noodles, and various stews are all i have ever cooked in it. burnt the 1st batch of dirty rice. went without dinner, aside from a cliff bar. good news is that it cleaned very easily...just boiled some more water in it, it loosened up and i shook it and poured it out. the next time i was more diligent in my observation. i used lower heat and stirred at least once per minute. i have only used this with the MSR pocket rocket and open pit fire...no experience with any of the higher dollar backpacking stoves. the pocket rocket and an msr fuel cannister (not bottle) fit inside. hasnt scratched yet. i have used the mesh storage bag to strain noodles...no weird tastes left behind. all of this was done not more than 1000ft above sea level for anyone who is interested in that type of thing. has NOT warped over very high open pit heat. good pots if you keep an eye on what you are cooking. if you want to set it and forget it, look somewhere else.

Pocket Rockets are notoriously a bad stove on thin pots since the flame is too concentrated. I have warped my Ti pots with it. Choose a different stove with wider burner and stir the pot frequently.
