The Ti Artisan Titanium Plate (Ta8220F) is a full-size camp dinner plate: 22 cm across, deep-rimmed and made from one piece of titanium. It weighed 110 g on our scale. I paid $50 for it.
What’s in the box
One plate, 221 mm across and 28 mm deep, pressed from a single piece of titanium 0.5 mm thick. There are no joins or coating, the edge is rolled over so it’s smooth in the hand, and the Ti Artisan logo is marked in the centre. It comes in a black mesh drawstring bag, and you buy each plate on its own.

A real dinner plate
Most camp plates are a compromise on size, and this one isn’t. At 22 cm it’s as wide as a normal dinner plate, and the 28 mm rim gives it some of the depth of a bowl, so a curry or anything saucy stays on the plate. Titanium also doesn’t take on the smell of the last meal or add a metallic taste.
The plate is 0.5 mm thick, which is why it feels stiff rather than tinny. It won’t rust, and a smooth one-piece surface leaves food nowhere to hide. At home, Ti Artisan says it can go in the dishwasher.
Cooking on it
Ti Artisan says this single-layer plate can go on a fire and work as a frying pan. That’s handy to know in a pinch, but treat it as a bonus. It has no handle, so you’d need a pot gripper to move it, and titanium isn’t non-stick. Our guide to cooking with titanium explains why food catches and what to do about it.
Size and packing
Weight is the easy part: 110 g on our scale, matching the listing. Size is the harder one, because a 22 cm circle won’t suit a small pack. In a 4WD or a car boot that doesn’t matter, and for a hike the smaller plate is the better pick.
Plates of different sizes do stack. Our smaller Boundless Voyage plate sits neatly inside this one, so two people can carry both in the space of one.
Plates compared
The Boundless Voyage plate is the obvious alternative. Both are good quality. The Boundless Voyage is smaller and lighter and costs less than half as much, while the Ti Artisan gives you a full-size plate. We slightly prefer Boundless Voyage overall, because far more of its range is sold in Australia, so it’s easier to match your plate with cups, pots and bowls that nest.

Conclusion: Ti Artisan Titanium Plate (Ta8220F)Conclusion
The Ti Artisan titanium plate is a proper dinner plate for camp: 22 cm across with a deep rim, 110 g on our scale and one smooth piece of titanium that won’t rust. It’s too wide for a small pack and it isn’t a frying pan you’d reach for first. The quality is very good, but $50 is a bit too expensive for one plate, so buy it for the size or save money with the smaller Boundless Voyage. I paid $50.
The dinner plate of titanium camping gear.
It's 22 cm across with a deep rim that holds a full meal, weighed 110 g and is one smooth piece of titanium that won't rust. At $50 it costs more than twice the smaller Boundless Voyage plate, and it's too wide for small packs.
- 4WD tourers
- Couples
- Car campers
Only if you want the bigger size. The quality is very good, but I paid $50 and that's a bit too expensive when the smaller Boundless Voyage costs less than half.
