real cooking: cast iron
backpacking cooking: aluminum or titanium
which one: do you want your pot to be more durable?? or do you want your pot to have a bit of bend and give to take up less space in a filled up pack? that's the only functional difference.
>>2637493it doesn't matter what its made of its all thin walled, its thermodynamic properties are going to suck.
>>2637501>Aluminum is reactiveAl2O3 isn't very reactive, you're never going to have pure aluminum exposed to oxygen on the surface of cookware like that.
>Titanium isn't reactiveuntrue. i was just heat anodizing titanium a few hours ago.
in context of cooking both aluminum and titanium react to acids. aluminum oxide is probably the least reactive in this context.
also there's some newer health concerns starting to come up in medical literature with titanium cookware and also your titanium is DEFINITELY coming from china if its not an evernew brand cook pot.
