The Pika Lid - Beta
The ultimate lid for ultralight titanium pots that's packed with features! The Pika Lid secures your fuel canister, lighter and pot together in "trail mode" eliminating the need for a pot sack. It prevents scratches and rust rings from your fuel canister on the inside of your pot. It has a convenient unit conversion table so you don't have to do math in your head when you're trying to figure out how much water to boil for your beef stroganoff.
Are you ready for the best part? It converts your long handle titanium spoon into a pot handle! Just slide your spoon through the arches on top and you have very functional pot handle. Pour water straight into your freeze dried meal or strain excess water through the drain holes on the opposite side. You can leave the handles on the pot and your pot grabber at home.
Wanna cook inside your pot instead of boiling water? We got you covered! Flip the lid upside-down and the lid nests perfectly on the rim of the pot.
WARNING!
Even though this is a high temperature resistant thermoplastic (same plastic used for spatulas), plastic is plastic and plastic melts. To prevent melting, please follow these guidelines:
- Do not use with 550ml pot (flame can get too close the the lid)
- Do not use with a stove with a large burner
- Do not use with stove on high setting (low setting is recommended for better fuel consumption anyway)
- Do not use in a campfire
- Center pot on stove so that the flame doesn't get too high on one side
- Insure all 4 tabs are engaged when pouring water out
- Weight: .97oz (27g)
- Dimensions: 4.37"x3.79"x.78"
- Material: Glass-filled Nylon
Beta Version
We have an initial batch of lids that we are selling to those of you interested in putting the final tests on the lid. We have been testing the lids on our own, but would like to see them used in many more environments and situations.
If you are interested in purchasing one of the beta lids, we ask that you have a trip (or multiple trips ideally) happening before the end of June and that you are willing to provide feedback of the lid.
