Antigravitygear now has the new evernew pasta pots for sale at their site.

Evernew Pasta Pot Small - 700ml - 4.36"h x 3.9"w - 3.35 oz - $51.30
http://www.antigravitygear.com/proddetail.php?prod=ECA521&cat=99

Evernew Pasta Pot Med - 1000ml - 4.36"h x 4.65"w - 4.1oz - $64.55
http://www.antigravitygear.com/proddetail.php?prod=ECA522&cat=99

It is worth noting that there is some discrepancy in volumes and weights between evernew's website and AGG's.

I just ordered the small pasta pot as a replacement for an olicamp titanium space saver kettle that I got for $20 on closeout several years ago. I have just gotten tired of the lid on the thing. It is supposed to double as a fry pan, but it serves neither purpose well (lid or frypan).

Here are some specs on comparable pots to the small....
Snow Peak Trek 700ml - $35 - 4.4”h x 4.13”w - 4.25 oz
Tibetan Titanium 700ml - $30 - 4.13”h x 3.7”w - 3.7 oz
Evernew 640ml - $42 - 4.25”h x 3.7”w - 3.4 oz

anyway, thought this might be useful information to those in search of the illusive perfect pot.... Not sure this is it for me, but it has all the things I wanted and it is light compared to others in the same range.

Now they dispense with the stupid nonstick coating (yeah) and put *rubber coated handles* on it? Yuck! so I have to buy a 50 dollar pot and burn those off!

Phat, you say that you use an alky stove. Well mine is gonna take those insulated handles right off during the first burn of my alky stove. My stove would blow that thing up, or at least the handles any way.I am with you on that. It does look like a fairly functional pot, however, like you said the insulation on the handles would only last one burn and that would be it for those handles. And then pay $65.00 for it. I don't think so...sabre11004... thanks

I agree with both of you. The handles will get their rubber removed when the pot comes in.... and maybe a new knob on the lid. Maybe that will push the rig under 3 oz.

My intent is to pair this pot with a Bushcooker LT1 from four dog stoves. It is one of those nifty vertical downdraft stoves like the bushbuddy, but weighs in at just 2.5 oz and $80. According to the pasta pot dimensions, the LT1 should fit neatly inside the pot.

I’m wondering why people buy tall thin pots and not short wide pots. The wide ones have been shown to use less fuel resulting in shorter boil times.
Also I wouldn’t mind having those ‘rubber handles’. Evernew silicone does very well at keeping your fingers from being burned.

I chose the tall pot instead of the wide bottomed pot because it will double as a case for a wood burning downdraft gassification style stove.

Not too concerned about fuel efficiency for this one since I will be able to collect fuel from the area.

As for the rubber.... I will wait and see when it comes in. My first impression is that I will get rid of it.

My normal alky stove pots are short and wide. I prefer the tall ones (like my old GSI potset) for winter or anywhere I'm often doing stuff in an open fire. Since there I typically set the pot on a rock in the fire, the vertical space is where most of the heat comes in. Tall can also be nicer to fit a canister stove in, although I don't worry about that as much.

Now rubber handles? - nope smile that's what wool gloves are for smile

Different pots for different uses. I am partial to the short/wide ones as they are easier to eat out of, like a bowl. I can see the usefulness of the tall ones in some cases, but I don't care for them for my use.

I've mostly used taller, thinner pots because I cook solo, and don't need to heat much water at a time. The wider the pot, the shallower the water depth, and the harder it is to mix things in the small quantities I deal with.

If I were cooking larger volumes of food, I'd stay with the wider pots. However, for me, about a 1-liter pot like the Snow Peak Trek 900 or the GSI Soloist pot really works well, and is a good compromise between narrowness for easy prep and width for easy eating.

Couldn't you drill some holes in the lid of an MSR Titan kettle and get the same effect? The spout would be wider, but I'm sure it might work.

I could, but why?

I don't own an msr kettle and it is heavier than the evernew pasta pot. Lastly, the msr kettle is not deep enough to hold my woodburning stove of choice within its depths.

Yes, the msr holds a little more volume, but for the freezer bag cooking that I typically engage in, the 700ml will do me just fine.

Well, I didn't mean you personally...just an idea to those who like to have a wider pot, no plastic on the handles to melt off, but wanted a strainer. smile

I don't use much water for pasta, so the need to strain it isn't there. YMMV.

The pasta pot just arrived from AntiGravityGear.

The silicone handle covers can be slid off pretty easily

The knob is riveted to the lid. I would have to drill out the rivet if I want to replace the knob. I don't think it is worth it though.

The handles make it easy to use the pot as a three fingered mug.

The graduations on the side are 100, 400, 600ml and 10, 15 oz. 10 and 15 oz are pretty worthless graduations for imperial measurements.

The lid snaps on to the top of the pot and will not come off easily. This makes it great as a pasta strainer, but requires two hands to get off. A bit of the lid rim is bent under the pot rim which helps hold the lid on positively. I may use a pair of pliers to loosen this up a bit so the lid can be lifted off without having to use a second hand to hold on to the pot handles.

Judging by where you're from, you're using US Customary measurements, not Imperial measurements. Those of you who rebelled against the King before 1824 have a slightly larger ounce, but smaller pints smile

I promise to weigh it tonight. I was gone all weekend... Indiana Sprint Week. Spent all weekend at the dirt tracks with some good friends. Didn't get back home until 3:00 am this morning.

I never knew that.
This may sound dumb, but I always thought Canada used the Metric system.
