A small basic pot, it works and is easy to carry around, I was able to make 2 scrambled eggs in a couple of minutes with the pan, it's just the right size but it's also surprisingly small so you can't make any big batches.
It holds a gas cartridge, a burner and a matchbox.

Cheap, light enough, and does the job. Just too bad there's no way to lock the two pieces together.

Tried the pot and I'm satisfied, food and water heated up quickly, the handles didn't get hot as long as they were turned outwards. The handle also felt sturdy enough and the pouring spout did not splash. The pan was not tried and it looks quite impractically small, for example it wouldn't fit a whole piece of bread and even a fried egg would have thick edges. However, the pan works as a good cover and speeds up the boiling of the water. When washing, the handles' rivets and silicone/rubber protectors collected water between them, and I suspect that the handles may rust if they stay wet for a long time

A good basic boiler to accompany a small gas burner. The lid lock, which can be found in some competing products, would be nice, but you can do without it. It can hold e.g. MSR PocketRocket Deluxe and a 230g gas cylinder. The transport bag is spacious and usually carries the support leg for the gas bottle and the wind shield that came with the MSR Whisperlite.
