If you only have one Alc stove, it can be made to cook most anything that you want to cook. That can also be said about nearly all other camping/hiking stoves. A decision to use an Alc Stove can be defended or opposed like a half full or half empty glass of water is pondered. One of things that I like about an Alc stove is that I can be completely unprepared for cooking, and with an Al can and a pocket knife I can make a stove if I need one. I'm always on...
