Titanium Camp Kitchen Care & Use Guide
APEX titanium camp-kitchen gear combines low weight, corrosion resistance and dependable trail utility. Use controlled heat, clean each piece gently and pack everything completely dry to protect its finish and long-term performance.
01 Start Here
Wash, Inspect and Use as DesignedBefore first use, wash every food-contact surface with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Mugs
The 450 ml and 750 ml mugs are single-wall vessels. They may be used for drinking, heating water and simple camp cooking.
Cutlery
The knife, fork, spoon, carabiner and bottle opener are designed for eating, serving, organization and their stated functions.
Controlled Heat
Heat the mugs only when they contain water or food. Use a stable stove and keep the flame beneath the base.
Hand Wash
Gentle hand washing is the preferred care method for the titanium pieces, lids and included carry pouches.
Never microwave titanium. Do not heat an empty mug. Single-wall titanium is not insulated, so the mug, rim, lid and handles can become hot enough to burn.
02 Your Titanium System

03 Cook with the Mugs
Low, Controlled and Attentive HeatThe thin single-wall construction responds quickly to changes in heat. It also creates concentrated hot areas, so stay with the mug whenever it is on a flame.
Add water or food before placing the mug over heat. Never preheat it empty.
Centre the mug on a stable camp stove or cooking support.
Use low to moderate heat and keep the flame beneath the base, not around the sides.
Food can scorch at hot spots. Stir regularly and add liquid when needed.
Remove with heat protection and place on a stable, heat-safe surface.
The lid is not a pressure seal. Lift it away from your face and hands so steam escapes in the opposite direction.
Use a stable cooking support above a controlled flame or bed of coals. Keep handles away from direct flame and never leave the mug unattended.
04 Use the Cutlery
Food Use and Trail Organization- Use for food preparation and eating. The utensils are not pry bars, screwdrivers, fire tools or general-purpose cutting tools.
- Cut on a suitable surface. Avoid rock, metal and other hard surfaces that can dull the knife or damage an edge.
- Open bottles with the 4-piece hub. Use the integrated opener only for standard pry-off bottle caps. Do not twist, lever or force it sideways.
- Nest the 4-piece set gently. Clean and dry each utensil, align the handles and slide them into the opener hub without forcing them.
- Use the 3-piece carabiner for organization only. It is not climbing equipment and must never be used for safety, rescue or load-bearing applications.
Edges and fork tines can cause injury. Keep the set secured in its pouch during transport and out of the reach of children.
05 Clean and Dry
Mild Soap, Soft Sponge, Complete DryingAllow heated mugs and lids to cool before washing.
Use warm water, mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth.
For stuck food, soak briefly in warm soapy water before wiping.
Remove all food and soap from surfaces, joints and nesting areas.
Dry every component and pouch fully before nesting or storage.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, harsh powders, bleach, oven cleaner or strongly caustic cleaners. Do not place a hot mug into cold water.
06 Finish Changes
Normal Colour and Surface VariationHeat Tinting
Blue, purple, gold or bronze discolouration can develop where a mug is exposed to flame. Under normal use, this is a cosmetic surface change and does not require removal.
Surface Marks
Light scratches, utensil marks and changes in the sandblasted finish are normal with use. They do not usually affect function.
Food Residue
Dark deposits that feel raised, sticky or rough may be cooked-on food or soot. Soak and clean gently rather than scraping with metal.
Damage Check
Stop using a component that is cracked, sharply dented, severely warped, develops a sharp burr or has a loose handle attachment.
07 Nest, Pack and Store
Clean, Dry and Quiet in Your Pack- Nest the mugs only when clean and dry. The 450 ml mug is designed to fit inside the 750 ml mug for compact packing.
- Prevent rubbing. Use the mesh pouches or a clean cloth between nested pieces if movement causes noise or surface marks.
- Protect the lids. Do not force a lid onto a misaligned rim or load heavy gear directly onto a packed mug.
- Store with airflow. For long-term storage, keep the gear dry and avoid sealing residual moisture or food odours inside the mugs or pouches.
- Count every piece. Confirm the utensils, carabiner or bottle opener and pouch are present before leaving camp.
