ah here it is:
4 3/4" pan, 8" overall length...7 oz...$8 on Amazon...might have to look into that.
Too bad it's aluminum. Be good to find one like it out of titanium, though it'd probably cost $500

That's good you could use it over embers, without a stove. Don't let it get too hot though, I think 350° is about the limit for aluminum.

If you want to really lighten your load, cook up that sauce at home, spread it out on the fruit leather tray in a dehydrator, and make yourself spaghetti sauce leather. Just break it up, put it in a baggie and haul it along like you would any other dried food. I usually add water to the sauce (or taco filling, or chili) baggie at lunch time and let it start re-hydrating. Once in camp, add the sauce baggie to more water, bring it up to a boil, maybe toss in an extra chopped garlic clove, and you're sauce is done! And, you didn't have to haul all the containers and water weight of the ingredients.
I'll take chicken sausages out of their casings, fry them really well, rinse as much of the grease off as I can (to prevent the meat from going rancid), spread the cooked and rinsed sausage out on paper towels in the dehydrator, and let them go until they're hard and really dry. I do the same with ground beef. Meat just doesn't get lighter than that. It just takes remembering to add water and start rehydrating dinner a few hours before you want to cook.
Chili, and taco fillings (I use the taco filling in burritos) I cook up and dehydrate the way I do spaghetti sauce.
Blocks of cheese, tortillas, and some fresh veggies I haul along without complaint. Bell peppers carry really well in the backpack. So do carrots, cabbage (shred some of it, add a packet of salad dressing, and there's your salad to go along with your spaghetti), onions, garlic, and apples. I occasionally carry potatoes, but they really take too long to cook so I usually carry dehydrated hash browns instead. Other things I haul along are olive oil, hot sauce packets, honey packets, and spices.

I like the Orikaso & Fozzil plates
She's got some good ideas, I think I'll try that mac & cheese.

Oh those are your vids? Very cool! Very professional. I like the way the recipe ingredients scroll, good idea.
Hey I can't seem to get the video you embedded for the Spam Tastic Lo Mein, and that sounds like soemthing I'd like- got a link?

Very good Sarah! 
One thing though- I could never use your pink cozy, or even call it a "cozy". How about a MARPAT digital camo version and call it something manly?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who carries chopsticks hiking.

Lol..those girly cozies are for me.....It doesn't matter what camo print it is, they sell like hotcakes. (I am doing Desert Camo and a Grey Camo right now for production). In the past I had a blue desert camo I couldn't keep up, as well as a digital camo print, the old school forest camo. Every season I get a new camo print out there

Cool I'll check out your site. Still need a manly name for them though.

The next video up to be released we shot in early winter on a hike - we finally found a backpack designed to carry pro size HD cameras - not the type of backpack that is sold at REI
