Titanium is light and strong, but is a poor conductor of heat. Stainless steel is strong
but heavy; it conducts heat moderately well. Hard-anodized aluminum is light,
can be engineered to be strong, and conducts heat very well – it is the
material of choice for most lightweight cookware.

If you consider weight, heat conduction & durability, the best cookware
material is a quality hard-anodized aluminum alloy. Stainless steel and
titanium are stronger but heavier / less heat conductive. Good engineering can
make aluminum cookware perfectly strong enough.

A lightweight hiker will carry a 250-300g pot; a ultralight hiker will aim for
less than 200g (sometimes compromising function – all Frontier pots have
handles, despite the small weight increase). Some thru-hikers ditch cooking
equipment altogether and ‘cold soak’ meals.
