Vargo Titanium BOT Series | Vargo BOT - 700 | Titanium Cooking Pot and Water Bottle with Foldable Handles and Watertight Lid | 700ml (23 oz.)

The lid seals water in.Boil water or cook with the lid unscrewed and flip the lid upside down. If your fire is high don't use the lid or take the gasket off so it isn't damaged by the fire.Boil water and add your dehydrated food. Once the water has calmed you can seal the lid and let it cook + soak while you hike. Or presoak while hiking/ overnight and then boil/ cook at your next stop/ next morningAlso extra water storage or keeping smaller items waterproof. Covers everything I bought it for

I've been dreaming of a product like this for years! Works great with the Vargo alcohol stove. I bought the 700ml size, and it's perfect for 1 person. Be sure to crack the lid when driving to / from the mountains. The lid gets pressure-jammed with a lot of elevation change.

A little pricey, yes, but for it's versatility and being titanium it's well worth it. I think this is the perfect size. It's great as a large coffee or tea mug. It's also great to make small meals or share a larger meal. I paired this with the Health Pro pots and the Toaks small wood burning stove. The Toaks stove will fit inside but the lid won't screw on. I just place the lid on top and both will nest inside the Health Pro pots with no problem. Perfect camping cookware system! By switching to this I saved a good amount of space and weight from my pack.

I use it to boil water, then pour the boiling water into the Pouch of Freeze Dried food. Flip the lid over to use as a Lid, Don't screw it on when cooking ! It holds my stove and a small gas cylinder, with a lighter all in one neat package, oh and a 3 leg support for the gas cylinder. yup it all fits in side... ! So light and nice. Use a Snow Peak Titanium Stove.

Returned to Amazon without issue.Upon receipt you should verify a full container of hot liquid, that it is leakproof by shaking, holding upside-down, etc.Issues that seem to be contributing a slow leak. 1)The O-ring material is a hard silicone with very little give, the roundness and consistency of the shape and material thickness is poor, and the material is very thin. 2)Untrimmed flash (leftover excess material from molding), practically untrimmable by end-user due to the precision that would be required. 3)Titanium sealing surfaces are not polished, but of a typical titanium pot textured finish.I considered getting a neoprene or Buna-N O-ring, far better materials for sealing, but lacking the ultimate heat resistance of silicone. If I was only going to use for cold-soaking I might have tried that, but then again I paid $100 for a do-it-all ultralight solution that should be flawless especially at that price.Instead, for cold-soaking, I bought a 12oz wide-mouth Nalgene bottle, Nalgene is also heat-tolerant, and according to documentation has no chemicals that cause estrogenic activity (proven in court). Here's a link to my purchase: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004H87PKY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsFor hot stuff, I already have a selection of mugs and pots which are better shaped for stability and cooking efficiency.

It leaks. I tested it multiple times, but it still leaked. I’m not sure whether it’s due to the O-ring or some other issue, but the product description claimed it is leak proof. Disappointing and a waste of my time.Will return it.

Very nice if you're looking to combine a cold soaking and cooking kit in one. And very versatile due to its sealed lid. In winter you can put hot water in it, seal it up, and have it with you in the sleeping bag or something similar.It's a bit pricey though. Also I would like to point out that I usually do not prefer to use this one anymore as these kinds of tube like cooking kits are a bit more difficult to clean (deep and narrow). I prefer a bit of a larger and wider pot (900ml) for cooking as it's easier to clean and also prepare food in (although the lids can't be sealed). Also a 900ml wide pot weighs about as much as this 700ml pot with its sealed lid. And in winter I usually take a Yeti with me for keeping water hot. Larger wider pots are also much easier (in my opinion) to cook by or on a fire.But if this is what you're looking for you can't go wrong. The pressure sealing issue that some people report is easy to fix, just pry some metal bit like a knife into the lid and the pressure is released and it's easy to open. It's very easy to fix.

Perfect for cooking. Perfect for cold soaking too. Not to big. Not too small. It's not cheap, but I would imagine it could last for >20 years of solid hiking.
