No more burnt fingers The combination of a backpacking stove and a titanium or aluminium cooking pot is designed to be super heat-efficient. The problem with that is your pot gets blisteringly hot inside a minute. Which means that when it’s time to take it off the heat, things can get tricky. Metal pot grippers are good, but a little bulky and heavy. So up until now, the ultralight solution has normally been to use a smelly hiking sock. Gross. GSI’s ingenious silicon microgripper weighs just 14 g but is worth that weight in gold, enabling you to ditch the sock and snatch hot pots and pans from a stove without burning your fingers. It measures just 2 inches by 1.5 inches – and if that sounds easy to lose, don’t worry. It attaches magnetically to your fuel canister while cooking so it’s always at hand. It’ll also fit in that little indentation in the base of a gas canister, so it won’t mess up your nesting cookset.
