Cooking to vary the pleasures

Nutrition during a trek, as in all outdoor sports, is extremely important. It helps you regain strength with often caloric and nutritious meals. It is highly recommended not to skip any meals and even to snack in between! For snacks, cooking is not necessary. However, at breakfast, lunch, or dinner time, cooking allows you to bring variety to your meals. It also allows you to enjoy a good hot meal that will warm you up during your high-altitude bivouacs or during the cold seasons.
Current kitchen equipment is efficient. In other words, they are both lightweight so as not to weigh down your backpack and efficient so as not to waste too much time. Perfect for regaining strength and boosting morale with good little dishes!

Pot or food container?

The pot is a small saucepan made for cooking while bivouacking, camping, or even in your van. It can be placed on a stove or a wood fire, making it perfect for cooking or heating water for your freeze-dried meals. They come in all materials. Titanium is a trendy material for its properties: it is ultra-light and strong.
As for the food container, it can be insulated, which is useful for transporting hot meals. Moreover, it can be used in daily life for lunch at work. It is a good alternative to the stove-pot combo for those who do not like to cook.
