What to cook with?

Ok, here goes.

I’m wondering what will be needed to cook my meals while thru-hiking the PCT. I have already previously purchased all the cooking gear that I think I would ever need and the total weight of all the gear listed below comes to 1.9 lbs. I don’t plan on bringing all the gear but I am wondering what others have found to be the “bear” minimum and why, I don’t want to be carrying useless weight. I will be cooking mostly dehydrated meals that I have put together myself for breakfast and diner, lunches will be buy as I go and mostly served cold. Of course I will be eating burgers, pizza and steaks while in town. :sunglasses:

Here is a full list of the gear along with the weights (lbs) on my list…
