Ideally two that nest in each other and are safe for the fire.

I have Frybake cast aluminum pans in 10.5 and 8 inch models. Perfect for cooking and frying fish. I highly suggest these if you are in the market for quality, lightweight pans. Light and super easy to clean.

I am looking for a couple of quality, lightweight pots that are decent size and hopefully nest to make soups or to boil water (snow in winter) for 6 people for coffee, etc. and to cook potatoes, etc. in. Thanks.

I'm aware of the GSI Dutch oven but want something lighter and that holds more.

I also would use them in my hot tent with stove for winter camping trips.

MSR makes a couple sets in stainless, Alpine 4 Pot Set, Alpine 2 Pot Set

I like the lids on the 4 pot set better. Both set lids can be used upside down on the pots to make a light weight Dutch Oven.

Sounds like you need an old school aluminum cook set

I'm assuming stove, not fire pit and grate?

One clear difference or choice - bail versus handle. For some reason, I've always preferred a bail handle - but in Scouts - many, many moons ago - would hang over fire. Three sticks found at the site and a piece of jack chain with end links opened - worked great.

Preferably over fire pit and grate but can also be used with stove in rainy conditions.

i decided to buy 2 MSR Alpine Stowaway Pots. One 1.6 Liter for small groups and the 775ml for 2 people. They nest and I should be able to put my stove inside.
