I remember on the other board a while ago someone found the same pots, I'm all for it, just replace it before the teflon gets old and starts chipping off thats when its bad for you.

I don't like Teflon either, I was referring to the size of the pot *g*

Anthea, the real problem with the pot you posted (beyond the teflon issue) is that you wouldn't be able to lift it out of the t-well. I own one just like this, and I can't see how it would work because the lid doesn't clip down. The pots that were originally posted as possible alternatives to the original aluminum pots are stainless steel without any teflon. They are called "stow-aways" from MSR. The handle closes over the lid and locks down, so they could be lifted out of the t-well easily. The main problem I see is that they are so darn small. The largest one available is only 1.6 liters. tinyurl.com/3clrmpI think that even the largest one would fit in the t-well with no problems. The 2 liter titanium pot Hubby and I hike with fits in the t-well quite easily, but, like the one you posted originally, there would be no way to lift it out when full of food.

I have a pizza wire doodad that I currently use in the t-well in lieu of a thermobaker, I thought about hooking two handles on it or pieces of wire with a hook on the end so I could use that to lift it all out together (hubby's idea *g*)

Hi, I was the one who posted about the MSR pots originally and I use them, they fit and work fine. Of course I use the largest one, and I would recommend it heartily. I use it mostly for making overnight oatmeal and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the reminder, Clutterbug. The 1.6l must be just about perfect for oats, but what do you do for something bigger? Have you spotted any other suitable options? I have no objections to using aluminum, personally, but I know it's not very well suited to acid foods, like a big pot of tomato sauce that needs to cook all day.
When the NY gardens come in, cooking up a big pot of sauce is a common activity. My parents' little garden has produced over 100 lbs. of tomatoes and counting this year. Actually, they're planting in MY raised beds, but I'm trying not to be overly jealous.
