Caldera keg

[Drapac]

For anyone that uses/has used a caldera keg, what do you normally use to cook in?

I just tried cooking ramen today, using half of the caddy. It seemed to work done for cooking, but i can see it being hard to clean in the field, with the threads and ridges in the container

The primary use of the keg system is to boil water for freezer bag cooking.

Thanks for your friendly, helpful reply....

I have a ultralight kit but that cook kit is to light for me.

I have it in rotation but haven't used it in a year because I started getting back into cooking in my pot. To be honest, I wasn't a fan of how long it was. It was awkward in my pack.

I've used the same Caldera F Keg with Esbit for years. I absolutely love it. As said above, I only use it to heat water since I only freezer bag cook.

I use the protective plastic case that screws apart into two large cups. One holds my food in a ziploc, the other is my drink cup. When dinner is done, just pull out the ziploc and put in the trash bag. No cleanup.

I've tried various alcohol stoves and pots, but I come back to my cone. To each his/her own.

Thanks for the reply, going to have to try that tomorrow!

I do. If I'm cooking a Knorr's meal I put it in one half of the "caddy", pour in boiling water, stir everything, screw the other half on and cover it up with a balaclava or something to keep it hotter. When I'm done eating I scrape the cup/caddy as clean as I can. I don't worry about getting it perfect because the next time I use it it will be filled with boiling water.

I don't cook in the heating container.
