This is a cooking kettle, not just for boiling water- One liter is a large main meal for three people- The weight knocks out the need for titanium - The wide base catches the flame pattern of any type of stove for a much faster boil- Also the squat design makes the center of gravity lower on a stove making it much more stable and less wobbly than the taller narrower pots- Save more weight, remove the SS handle and replace with picture hanging wire-
