Petrel Micro-pressure Rice Cooker

Is this a standalone stove or pot?

No. The Petrel Rice Cooker is an Ultralight Insert (58g) designed to fit inside the Petrel G3 Pot or Quickboil System.

How it works: It turns your camping stove into a "Steamer." You put water in the main pot, and rice+water in this inner insert. The steam cooks the rice gently and evenly.

Why do I need a separate insert to cook rice?

If you've ever tried cooking rice directly in a thin camping titanium/aluminum pot, you know the result: burnt at the bottom, raw in the middle.

The Solution: This insert uses Indirect Heat (Steam). It is physically impossible to burn your rice because the inner pot never touches the flame directly. You get perfect, fluffy rice every time, just like a home rice cooker.

How does the "Micro-pressure" work?

It utilizes the Locking Handle & Lid system of the Petrel G3.

The Process: When you lock the lid down, it traps steam inside the main chamber, creating a slightly pressurized environment (higher temperature than normal boiling). This forces moisture into the rice grains faster, cooking them thoroughly in about 15-20 minutes (plus resting time).

How much rice can it cook?

It is designed for Solo or Duo use.

Capacity: It can hold up to 140g of dry rice, which yields roughly 400g of cooked rice. This is a very generous portion for one hungry hiker or a decent side dish for two.

Can I cook other things in it?

Absolutely. Since it's essentially a steamer:
- Steamed Eggs: Perfect for a protein breakfast.
- Reheating: Warm up sauces, curries, or canned food without burning them.
- Baking: Some users even make steamed muffins or cakes!
