There are others far more qualified to comment than me for sure but I guess that as much as anything the compatibility with stove and windshield used has a bearing on whether you're better off with wide and shallow vs narrow and deep. If your burner has a wide flame pattern then a wider shallower pan will utilise the flame more efficiently...

I think to some extent the choice of pot/pan also depends on whether you heat food through / boil water for foil pack meals or actually like to 'cook' food..

you could try backpackinglight.co.uk for the Evernew pot as they stock a fair number of the range and could probably get others if requested..

I've got the Evernew 1.3l and 0.9l pan set and they are excellent quality products and work very well with the clikstand / evernew meths burner

ime the tall and thin pots work well with canister mounted stoves like my Jet-Ti and the MSR pocket rocket, but a fair bit of flame goes up the sides of them with remote canister stoves like my MSR Rapidfire and Optimis Multifuel. Their slower boil time under those conditions is quite obvious, which must mean a fair bit of gas is being wasted. The tall pots are also much less stable when you are cooking stuff rather than just heating water.

I like the look of the Alpkit pan and the Evernew stuff, but have never been able to justify the cost -- I already have an AGG aluminium pan and a set of lightweight Trangia al pans and both do the job fine and weigh little more than similar ti ones, if anything. They're not as strong, but then a few dents don't detract from their performance.

Absolutely.  Matching pan to burner is pretty important for achieving good efficiency.

The simple Trangia pans are light, cheap, and effective.

The Alpkit MyTiPot isn't bad, but I'm not desperately keen on the handle.
