Camping cookware set OPTIMUS 8020707 — aluminium, 0.95 L, Ø 12.4 cm, 165 mm height, 284 g

Optimus 8020707 is a compact camping cookware set made from anodized aluminium with a 0.95 L capacity. The single-piece pack combines a low weight of 284 g and a small packed diameter of 12.4 cm with a 165 mm height, providing a space-efficient solution for outdoor cooking and boiling. Designed for backpacking and short trips, this cookware set is intended for basic meal preparation, heating water and general camp use where reduced weight and minimal bulk are priorities.

Advantages

The anodized aluminium construction offers a balance of lightness and durability while providing improved surface hardness and corrosion resistance compared to untreated aluminium. Its compact cylindrical shape and modest height allow the pot to fit easily inside a backpack or inside other equipment for nested packing. A 0.95 L volume is sufficient for single-person or two-person portions for boiling, simmering or rehydrating freeze-dried meals. At 284 g, the set minimizes carried weight without sacrificing necessary cooking capacity.

Suitable for

• Backpacking and fastpack trips where low weight and small pack size are required
• Short camping or weekend trips with basic meal preparation needs
• Hiking and mountain trips for boiling water and rehydrating meals
• Emergency kits and car camping as a compact, lightweight pot

Key specifications

• Material: anodized aluminium for improved hardness and corrosion resistance
• Capacity: 0.95 litres
• Packed dimensions: diameter 12.4 cm, height 165 mm
• Weight: 284 g (single-piece pack)

How to use

Use the pot on a compatible camping stove or over a controlled flame following stove manufacturer instructions. Add water or ingredients up to the indicated capacity to avoid boiling over. When cooking, place the pot on a stable support and monitor heat to prevent overheating; anodized aluminium conducts heat efficiently so lower flame settings are often sufficient. After use, allow the pot to cool before cleaning; hand wash with warm water and mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry before packing.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged pot lifespan, avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scouring pads that can damage the anodized surface. Use a heat diffuser or reduce flame intensity when cooking directly on larger camp stoves to prevent hot spots. Store the pot dry and nested with other gear to save space; when boiling water, leave a small air gap to prevent boil-over and to allow safe handling.
