Started with the personal cooking system which is the cup and stove. Loved it, cooked top ramen, soup and mac and cheese in it for work. Recently got the pot to go on a three day hike (yet to come) and already have used the pot for mac and cheese, soup and steak and eggs. LOVE THIS THING. Once you get used to adjusting the heat it cooks like a regular pot but boils water unbelievably fast. Faster than my teapot at home, I tested them head to head. I highly recommend this as I am a service and repair plumber and am always on the road. Now I can carry more than just sandwiches.
