Titanium is the lightest, toughest metal you can cook and eat from at camp. A bowl weighs 45 g, it never rusts, and it doesn’t add a metal taste to your coffee. It costs more than steel, though, and not every titanium piece does the same job: some go on the stove, some stay cool in your hands.
We’ve now tested 19 pieces of titanium camping cookware, most of them from Boundless Voyage: a pot and pan set, a kettle, mugs and cups, bowls, a grill, a lunch box and the small tools that go with them. Here’s how they compare and which ones are worth it.

Best grill: Boundless Voyage Titanium GrillBest grill: Grill
The Boundless Voyage titanium grill scored highest of all our titanium gear. It’s a flat 25.5 × 16.5 cm grill plate that weighs 112 g, packs flat in its protective bag and won’t rust. The cooking area is small and you have to find your own support for it over a fire, which can be unstable if it isn’t propped well. For $26, it’s the simplest way to grill over a fire.

Best spork: Boundless Voyage Titanium SporkBest spork: Spork
The Boundless Voyage titanium spork has a spoon at one end and a fork with a serrated knife edge at the other, so one tool replaces a cutlery set. It’s very sturdy, never tastes of metal and is the right size for a bowl, a pot or a meal pouch. Mind the serrations near your mouth. $13.

Best bowl: Boundless Voyage Bowl with Handle (300 ml)Best bowl: 300 ml bowl
The 300 ml bowl with a folding handle is a bowl, a tiny saucepan and a measuring cup in one. It’s single-walled, so it goes straight on a stove or a fire, and the handle stays mostly cool when you lift it off. It has a pouring spout and 100 and 200 ml marks inside, and it weighed 45 g on our scale. The rim gets hot with hot drinks and 300 ml is small, but for $24 it does more than any other bowl we’ve tested.

Scored 9.2 out of 10Our take: A 300 ml single-wall titanium bowl with a folding handle and a pouring spout that weighed 45 g on our scale. It goes on a stove or a fire, but the rim gets hot and 300 ml is small.

Best spoon: Boundless Voyage Titanium SpoonBest spoon: Spoon
The Boundless Voyage titanium spoon is the one we still eat with at camp. It weighed 22 g on our scale, it’s thick enough that it won’t bend, it never tastes of metal and it’s dishwasher safe. At 15.5 cm it’s too short for deep meal pouches, and the matte finish can scratch non-stick pans. $12.

Best mug: Boundless Voyage Mug with Lid (420 ml)Best mug: 420 ml mug
The 420 ml titanium mug is a mug and a pot in one. It’s single-walled, so it goes straight on the stove to boil water for a coffee or a dehydrated meal, and with its titanium lid on it boils fast. It weighed 87 g with the lid on our scale, the handles fold flat and a 110 g gas canister fits inside. Straight after boiling it’s too hot to sip from and drinks cool quickly, but for $26 it’s all the pot a solo camper needs.

Best nesting cup: Ti Artisan Nestable CupBest nesting cup: Ti Artisan
The Ti Artisan nestable cup comes in four sizes, from 200 to 750 ml, that stack inside each other. We tested the 450 ml: 92 g with its lid and handle, no aftertaste, and it resists dents and corrosion. You can boil water in it, sip from it or store food in it. The handle can get hot over a fire, it’s small for bigger meals and it costs more than steel.
Ti Artisan Nestable Cup (450 ml)
Scored 9.1 out of 10Our take: A very light titanium cup that leaves no aftertaste, nests with other sizes and can boil, cook and store. It’s pricey compared to steel, small for meals and the handle gets hot over a fire.

Best tongs: Boundless Voyage Titanium TongsBest tongs: Tongs
The Boundless Voyage titanium tongs weigh 23 g and are 16.5 cm long, so they add almost nothing to a pack. They’re pure titanium, won’t rust and clip onto your gear. They need a firm grip, don’t suit large items and can get hot over a campfire. At $12 they’re an easy add to a light camp kitchen.

Best value bowl: Boundless Voyage Bowl (400 ml)Best value bowl: 400 ml bowl
The 400 ml bowl cost us $22 and weighed 45 g on our scale. It’s a single wall of titanium, so it can go on a stove or a fire to heat a little water, and it nests tightly inside a bigger pot. Pour in hot food, though, and it’s instantly too hot to hold without a pot gripper, and 400 ml suits oats or a side more than a big dinner.

Scored 9.1 out of 10Our take: A 400 ml single-wall titanium bowl that weighed 45 g on our scale and can go on a stove or campfire. It gets too hot to hold with hot food in it, and 400 ml is a small serve, but it's $22.

Smallest mug: Boundless Voyage Mug (250 ml)Smallest mug: 250 ml mug
The 250 ml titanium mug weighs 70 g with its lid, has folding handles, and the lid keeps heat in and bugs out. It isn’t insulated, 250 ml is a small cup, and $26 is a lot for its size. For a light, tough coffee mug, it does the job.

Best spice tin: Boundless Voyage Titanium CanisterBest spice tin: Canister
The Boundless Voyage titanium canister is a small tin with a push-on lid for spices, tea or small essentials. It weighs 56 g, has a tough sandblasted finish and comes with a storage pouch. It isn’t leakproof for liquids and it’s small, so it’s a storage tin and not much more. For $35, it keeps the small stuff organised.
Boundless Voyage Titanium Canister
Scored 9.0 out of 10Our take: A 56 g titanium canister with a secure push-on lid and a storage pouch, ideal for spices, tea or small items. It’s not leakproof for liquids, and the small size limits what it holds.

The 450 ml cup with lid weighs 85 g, has folding handles and a lid, and its single wall means it can go straight onto a stove. The body gets very hot, so handle it with care, and the lid can leak a little when the cup is full. For $24, it’s a very useful cup for any trip where weight matters.
Boundless Voyage Cup with Lid (450 ml)
Scored 8.9 out of 10Our take: An 85 g titanium cup with a lid and folding handles that can go straight onto a stove or open flame. The single wall gets very hot, and the lid can leak slightly when the cup is full.

Best kettle: Boundless Voyage Titanium Kettle (700 ml)Best kettle: Kettle
The Boundless Voyage titanium kettle weighs 162 g, boils water quickly and has a folding, anti-tilting handle that’s practical over a fire. 700 ml is a small capacity and the handle gets hot. For $65, it’s the one to take on minimalist trips.

Best pot gripper: Boundless Voyage Hot Plate GripperPot gripper: BV gripper
The hot plate gripper solves a real problem with titanium: moving a scalding pot. It weighs 51 g, folds to 12.5 cm and grips securely, with a wrench and an opener built in. It’s not for pots over 1.5 litres and it has no lock. At $55 it’s not cheap, but it’s the piece that makes single-walled titanium safe to handle.
Boundless Voyage Hot Plate Gripper
Scored 8.9 out of 10Our take: 5 cm, grips a full litre pot securely and stays cool, and doubles as a bottle opener and wrench.5 litres, and pricey.

Best for hot food: Boundless Voyage Double-Walled Bowl (500 ml)Best for hot food: 500 ml
The 500 ml double-walled bowl is the one to hold with boiling-hot food in it: the double wall keeps the outside cool. It weighed 105 g on our scale, it’s rust-proof, quick to clean, and it nests inside its 800 ml sibling. It can’t go on a stove or a fire, it won’t keep food hot like a thermos and it isn’t collapsible. I paid $50.

Best coffee filter: Boundless Voyage Coffee Drip FilterBest coffee filter: Ti drip
The titanium drip filter weighs 13 g and replaces paper filters with a reusable 120-mesh titanium screen that keeps the coffee’s oils and flavour. It’s easy to clean and dries fast. It doesn’t fold completely flat, it’s not ideal for several cups, and superfine grounds may still need paper.

Best pot set: Boundless Voyage Pot and Pan SetBest pot set: Pot and pan
The Boundless Voyage pot and pan set is a 1,000 ml pot with a 500 ml pan that doubles as its lid, with folding handles on both. It weighs 280 g, goes straight over the fire and is very sturdy. It’s pretty tall, so it takes up some space, food can catch because it isn’t non-stick, and it’s sized for one or two people. For more pots and sets, see our camping cookware guide.

The folding titanium spatula weighs 16 g, folds from 20.5 to 11.5 cm with a locking handle and fits in a small pot. It’s not for heavy-duty cooking, it can scratch coated pans and the short handle needs care near the heat. For $14, it’s a very good tool for a small camp kitchen.

The titanium lunch box has two tiers that keep food apart, a roller lock for the lid, and it doubles as a cooking pot. It weighs 310 g. It’s very expensive at $65 and it’s not completely leakproof, but if you’ll use it for years, it’s one container to carry and heat your food.

Coffee spoons: Boundless Voyage Titanium Coffee SpoonsCoffee spoons
The titanium coffee spoons come as a 5-pack, so there’s one for everyone at camp. They’re one piece of titanium with no welds, won’t bend or rust and don’t change the taste. They’re small, so they’re no good for soup or bigger cups, and they’re easy to lose. $10 for the pack.
Boundless Voyage Coffee Spoons

For water, the Ti Artisan 750 ml bottle is our favourite titanium bottle, and our water bottles guide compares it with the rest.
How to choose titanium camping cookwareHow to choose
Titanium cookware comes in two kinds, and the difference matters more than the brand. Single-walled pieces are one thin layer of metal: they’re the lightest and they go straight on a stove or a fire, but they get very hot to hold. Double-walled pieces have an air gap between two layers: hot food stays cool in your hands, but they’re heavier and must never go on a flame. Look at handles and lids too, and at what nests inside what.

How we test
We buy the gear ourselves and take it on camping trips around Australia to put it to the test in real outdoor conditions, in the 4WD and at camp, and to see how it holds up over a few trips. We weigh everything on our own scale and photograph it ourselves. If we haven’t used something, we say so, and if anything fails later on, we update the review.
