Sometimes it is difficult to place pot inside a pot cozy. I realised that for MSR Titan kettle it will definitely not be an easy task, so I made a variation.

There are three parts to it.

(a) A bottom part which is measured to the pot's diameter + 4cm. The edges are cut so thst they can be folded upwards and then taped together.

(b) A rectangular strip that is measured by rolling the pot in the metal foil and adding about 3cm so thst it sagely overlaps. Velcro is added into the overlapping section so that it can close.

(c) A round lid measured on the diameter of the pot.

The metal foil used is the same as for pipe insulation. It comes under various names of which one is called Reflectix.

To use it, place the hot pot with its contents on the bottom part. Wrap the rectangular part around the por ensuring that it covers the edges of the bottom part. Press diwn the velcro edge Now carefully push in the lid on the top.

This should be good enough to cook anything for 10-30min. This includes rehydrating fast cycle freeze-dried foods.

The open it, undo the velcro, take the foil lid off and open tthe handles of the pot.
