The Snow Peak Trek 900 has been my go-to cookset for solo-camping for about a year now. I own many different cooksets, but the Trek 900 is the only one that does everything that I need it to do without weighing me down.

While searching for a cookset, it was important to me that the lid doubled as a frying pan. I’ve used it to cook eggs, make small pancakes, fry fish, and many other things. It’s small, but it gets the job done. I recommend carrying a small nalgene container with oil to prevent sticking, as the surface of the pan is not coated with a non-stick material.

I find the size to be great for solo camping. It holds about 30 fl oz, with marks that show measurements pressed into the titanium. I’ve never felt like I needed more pot, though the lid can be a bit cramped when acting as a frying pan. I’ve successfully used it to cook for two, but that’s pushing it. If you’re looking for something more, check out its bigger brother, the Trek 1400.

Constructed from titanium, the Snow Peak 900 weighs just under six ounces. While it is extremely light, it is also very durable. I’ve used and abused my own pretty heavily, throwing it straight into the fire and scouring it clean with a rock and charcoal. The biggest issue with titanium is that it doesn’t retain heat very well, so hot spots are pretty much unavoidable. It takes some extra practice and care to ensure everything cooks through evenly. The handles heat up fast, but also cool down very quickly. Be sure to use some sort of potholder if you can’t wait.

It comes with a mesh sack. It’s difficult to get the cookset in and out of, and it doesn’t hold the lid in place so everything rattles around. I threw it out pretty quickly, opting to keep everything together with a thick rubber band instead.

It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth it to pay a premium for the titanium version. If you’re not a gram weenie, take a look at the cheaper aluminum version here. Currently, the titanium version is on sale for only five dollars more, so I’d spring for that.
