Mark_Husbands Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 agreed, the recipes are nonsense and the pot is small. however i noticed in a press release thingee that larger capacity pots are in the works. if all claims are true the thing could have advantages over other cartridge stoves in stability (since it all locks together), windproofness (if their shroud works) and fuel savings (if it is indeed so efficient). someone buy this and test it please.

catbirdseat Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Back in the 1970's, Sigg offerred the Tourist cook kit for the Svea 123 stove. It featured an integrated base, windscreen and nested pots. Heat transfer was efficient, it was light and it was resistent to tipping over. I still use the pots, battered as they are, although I've since switched stoves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 i've got one of those cook kits, but i can't convince myself to use the aluminum pots out of fear of getting Alzheimers. nice setup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 i've got one of those cook kits, but i can't convince myself to use the aluminum pots out of fear of getting Alzheimers. nice setup though. The link between Al and Alzheimers is still being debated and many researchers believe that AL present in the brains of Alzheimers patients is a symptom rather than a cause. Even if you choose to believe that there is a link the amount of Al you will get from cooking with Al pans is minimal, relative to the amount you'll absorb from; drinking tap water and showering/bathing in tap water (many water companies use Al componds during the purification process), some antacids and asprins, aerosol antiperspirants, the environment in general as Al is the third most common element in the Earth's crust. Al is also pretty reactive so your Al pans are covered with a layer of largely inert Al oxide which isn't going to be readily released into your food unless it's very acidic or salty. Anodized Al pans further prevent release of the metal into food. See: Dispelling Myths about Alzheimer’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
