Recommend me a pan please.
I'm on the look out for a new pan. I'm not too bothered if it's aluminium or Ti but I'd like it to have an O/D of at least 110mm, hold at least 900ml (a little bit more would be a bonus) and have some kind of handle.
I know there's lots of options out there but some real world experience would be nice before I stick my hand in my pocket.

I've got a Snow Peak one that fits that description, comes with a small pan/lid on top and graduations inside.

Re: Recommend me a pan please.
I've always used MSR, Alpine kit is stainless and has survived everything, their Ti is good stuff too and I have yet to have issues. We also use MontBell but that's tough to find here. Latest stuff I'm waiting is Evernew, reviews of it rate extremely highly, and we the minimalist approach I'm adopting seems a logical step.
I imagine it all comes out of the same factory in the far east for the bigger brands anyway!

Cheers fellas ... I had looked at Evernew stuff, the reviews seem to say that it'll be the last pan you ever need buy.
It might be slightly more expensive than some other stuff but I'm thinking quiality not quanity could be the way forward ... they also do a nice 1.3l pan which fits my criteria nicely.

Re: Recommend me a pan please.
I wandered out of the gear shop today brandishing one of these

GSI Halulite Minimialist
The neoprene wrap and drinking lid sold it to me. Weight is good, and coffee tasted good from it earlier. Gas and Optimus Crux easily fit in, the supplied spork is a tad short for eating from dehydrated food bags, so I'll take the Lhoon!

Well, thanks to Stevemorg final testing of the Rodir stove is underway. A larger pot was required to see what effect it would have ... findings on the site soon.
