Is titanium non-stick of a sorts? Will I be able to cook one these without food sticking like in stainless steel?

litegalmIn my admittedly limited experience cooking with titanium, it's not as nonstick as nonstick, but not nearly as sticky as stainless. You need to use a little more fat, but food releases just fine. To me, the bigger question is about thickness. Titanium tends to be thin, so the pans get hot spots while cooking (because titanium conducts heat really well). How do these perform?

litegalmI have owned an similar version of this set for over ten years. I have used it all over the western United States backpacking and thru-hiking. Snow Peak makes solid reliable gear. Titanium should not be your first choice for non-stickiness capabilities. It heats up very quickly and if the food is not tended to properly it will most certainly stick and burn even when seasoned properly. Thickness is not an issue and based on the longevity and durability of my set I have not had a need to replace it nor have wanted to.

jalvaniYes , of course. Titanium gets hot spots especially if you use something like a MSR Pocket Rocket or similar device. As I'm sure you know this kit is really designed for backpacking and not traditional camp fires. IMHO if you cook things beyond the rice and noodle fare and are in to things like sauces and complex food preparation this may not be for you.
All the best
