A yoghurt pot? Get yourself some Wilko pour and store bags, you'll never look back!
I pretty much just carry a few of these so I can rehydrate pasta, cous cous, porridge, etc and my titanium cup. Boil water in the cup, pour in the bag, seal the bag and put it in my hat to keep it warm. The advantage of these over solid pots is that they take up almost no space when they are empty and are pretty much leak proof, they can be washed out and reusable multiple times too.

Re: Newbie bikepacking advice please
Asposium like the idea of not having to carry water, could you recommend a lightweight filter?

MSR Trailshot is a popular option and is starting to take over from the Sawyer Mini as a favourite amongst the unwashed ... both very good though.

For UK conditions they're fine. When I was testing one, I filtered a muddy, sheep poo filled puddle and drank it ... and I'm alright’m assuming these are 100% safe to use

Nothing's 100% safe, it's just a case of reducing the risk to acceptable levels.

Can't comment on lightweight water filters as mine is certainly not lightweight; however, is lighter than carrying water.
Very much overkill for the UK as will remove viruses.
Stupid fast though.
Probably idea for multi-person use.

Just looked at video of the msr, a genius bit of kit that’s easy to use and around £35.
Please stop recommending kit I’m out a fortune!!
