- Hey folks, Ben from Snowys here
with the Sigma Pots from Sea to Summit.
I'm gonna tell you all about them.
(chilled music)
These Sigma Pots, they're a stainless steel pot
but they're still pretty lightweight
for a stainless steel pot and you get the benefits
of stainless steel being that they're really durable.
Now there's four sizes.
3.7 litres is the big one at 481g,
2.7 litres at 382g,
1.9 litres at 317g,
and the little one here, 1.2 litres at 250g.
Now these Sigma Pots are made with stainless steel,
which you may think is heavy but,
it's a lightweight stainless steel,
it's premium grade, it's BPA-free,
so it's particularly food safe
and the benefits of stainless steel
is you can scrub it as much as you want
and it's still gonna be fine,
unlike some alloys and coated metals.
Now the bottom has got this anti-slip thermal base on it.
Now this has got kind of a grippy-feel to it.
When it's sitting on top of your stove,
it stops it sliding around quite as much,
and being black it also absorbs the heat
and makes it a little more efficient.
Having a look at the lid,
on the top of the lid here,
we've got a little silicone handle.
Now that doesn't heat up when it's hot
so you can easily take the lid on and off
while you've got the hot food inside.
And on each side of the lid,
this one here is a little strainer
and a little pourer on the other side here
so you can easily get the water out of your pasta
or your veggies, out in the field.
Underneath the lid,
this little flap here is to secure the lid
to the side of the pot when we don't need it
or we don't wanna put it down in the dirt
or it might slide away,
we can just secure it to the pot there
and hangs there while we're doing whatever
we need to inside the pot.
If we have a look inside the pot,
this has got this beautiful, kind of,
shiny look to it inside there,
now, it might look a bit different
after you scrubbed it a bit.
And then on the side there,
graduated markers to show us what volume of water
or food we've got inside the pot.
The main features of these Sigma Pots
is the pivot-lock handle that Sea to Summit
have put quite a bit of research into.
Now when this is folded out as it is now,
it's quite a wide handle, it's easy to grip.
It'll feel quite comfortable when this is full of food.
It's got a rubber grip on there,
so it's not gonna be hot when I'm holding onto it
and it's actually riveted through the material on here.
So the rivets go from the outside,
right through to the inside here,
so it's a nice sturdy handle.
Now this folds closed out the way for storage.
To do that, there's a little black strip here
and that's called the pivot-lock.
We un-clip that and that allows us
to fold this handle closed.
So if we put the lid back on top,
fold this across the top of the pot,
over the top of our little silicone handle there.
That keeps it in place and stops the lid
from falling off so that's now ready for transport.
Now you might be wondering what's
compatible with the Sigma Pots.
What can I fit inside?
What do they fit inside of?
First thing to know is that they're actually
the same dimensions and sizes as the Alpha Pots,
they're just a different material.
So what I'll show you here is also
applicable to the Alpha Pots.
If I talk about what pot fits
inside what in the Sigma range,
the 1.9 is kind of the odd one out.
This will fit some of the DeltaLight Dinnerware inside
but this one doesn't actually fit inside the pot above it.
It's a little bit tall so the lid doesn't go on.
There are diagrams on the back of the packaging
that you get to demonstrate what fits inside what.
But all the other pots fit inside each other.
So if I fold this 2.7 litre pot up,
this will fit inside the 3.7 litre pot.
And the 1.2 litre pot will also fit inside
the 2.7 litre pot so this one also fits
inside the small one there,
so we could nest those three together or we can
mix and match it with the Alpha Pots if we like.
They're also compatible with the DeltaLight Dinnerware.
So the small pot here fits inside the DeltaLight Dinnerware
and that can then fit inside the next pot up.
And also, just for the sake of it,
I'll show you, we've had people ask,
what does the X-Bowl fit into?
The X-Bowl fits quite nicely inside the 1.9 litre pot here
or the XL-Bowl doesn't quite fit inside the 2.7,
it's a little bit big but it does fit inside the 3.7.
One other thing I will note with the Sigma Pots
is Sea to Summit have designed them to work
seamlessly with the Delta Cutlery range.
So this is a Delta Spoon here.
There's Delta Sporks,
there's Delta Spoons, Forks, Knives,
but what they've done is taken the curve of the spoon,
so this curve around here,
fits neatly in the bottom of the pot here.
What that means is that when you're cooking,
you can scrape as much as you can out of the pot
which means less cleaning in the campsite,
which is a good thing when you're out the bush.
Now these are a great durable option for anyone
who's trying to balance durability with weight.
The stainless steel, it can be dented,
scratched and it's still gonna work.
You can't really damage it unless you run over it,
but they're still reasonably
lightweight for what they offer.
I like to carry a stainless steel pot
and put all my stows, bowls, everything,
even the food inside of it and just pack the whole thing
in my bag because I know my stainless steel pot
is just gonna keep on keeping on.
You can grab these at www.snowys.com.au.
