Versatile pot set - canister, alcohol, svea 123 stoves all work! - Optimus Terra Weekend HE Cook Set .95L

va3pinner's Review of Optimus Terra Weekend HE Cook Set .95L
I bought this originally because the Svea 123 fits perfectly inside. Exactly what I was looking for, this is true for the Optimus Terra Weekend HE, but not the smaller version (don't know if they still make that one).
But I also had an optimus Crux canister stove (I'm kind of a stove nut), and a ClickStand stove (uses Trangia burner) All of them work well with this pot set.
With the canister stove and the accessory Optimus wind screen, it's a very fast boiler. Also quick with the Svea 123, but you have to be careful about how the pot sits on that stove. It's not the most stable setup. Youtube has several videos on this combination.
Oddly, this thing fits perfectly with the Clickstand setup, and boil times are much faster than the usual for an alcohol stove. A very stable setup as the pot doesn't sit on the Click stand pot supports, but the heat exchanger rests on the Trangia burner. Works very well that way.
Capacity - I hike solo, and this is plenty big enough for a sizeable meal. Haven't used the lid as a frying pan (as advertised) but do use it for coffee/tea water while cooking dinner.
Some would consider it heavy - just shy of 10 ounces, but I find it so useful, it's my go-to pot set. Only drawback is it has a non stick coating that scratches easily.
Pros:
shortened boil times
works with svea 123 for winter use
Cons:
non stick coating scratches easily
a tad heavy for some - 9.5 oz.
Best Used for:
Backpacking (multiple days)
Would Recommend:
Yes
