This durable 1100ml. cooking pot also serves as a handy storage container--locking lid keeps contents from spilling.

Dual purpose handle/lid lock flips up and over the fitted lid to securely lock the lid in place during transport
Fitted lid with a top handle
Scratch and dent resistant stainless steel stands up in the most rugged conditions
Rounded corners help heat travel up sides of pot more quickly, boosting efficiency

Tip: Your MSR pots will be even more efficient if you allow them to blacken with use. That's because a blackened surface absorbs heat better than a light one.

Please note: MSR products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

This is one of my favorite pots. I only wish they made it in a lighter material. Because of its width, water boils very quickly. Very important, especially when using an alcohol stove. The folding handle design is ingenious..never worry about anything coming loose and you won't burn your hands.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

I was surprised to see this thing was still around. I freaking HATE mine. Looks like a great design but the handle comes unhinged at very inopportune times spilling/splashing everywhere. The little device that slide down the handle to supposedly prevent this from happening works 2 out of 3 times. What really drives me nuts is that when you go to pour water out of it into your tea cup the water hugs the rim and falls way off target.

Great Pot - I got this for Backpacking since has the locking lid. The MSR WhisperLite Internationale Stove and wind screen pack perfectly in the pot to help protect the stove for those not so gentle trips.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

This is my one heavy piece of gear in my minimalist kit list. I know I could save 12oz if I went titanium but the benefits outweigh the negatives.

First of all you can fit your MSR liquid fuel stove or a gas stove and cannister in this can plus a pan scrubber and lit my fire fire steel so you know you can light your stove and clean it.

Secondly this pan is built to last, no plastic just good old stainless steel. The big plus is you can use this over an open fire and the long handle means you don't need asbestos gloves.

As for cooking, this pan is wide so you get a good heat transfer and the stainless steel means you get a good even heat distribution which is great if you are actually cooking rather than boiling water for Mountain House meals.

Bottom line, I have tried lighter pots but this is the one bit of kit that goes on every trip.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

I have had this pot for 15 years. I bring it on every trip I go - backpacking, car camping, beach, kayaking. I've had the same MSR Whisperlight during this entire time as well - which fits perfectly inside the pot. Never had a problem, it is still going strong, having racked up over 2 dozen backpacking trips in all kinds of conditions. The handle and interlocking lid are ingenius.

Two cons: It's a bit heavy. Stainless steel ain't titanium. And water drips off the bottom when pouring - it took me awhile to learn how to pour without losing half the water on the ground, but after all these trips, I have mastered the art of the pour.

But, considering all the "pros", i will live with the extra weight and pouring issues. There is a reason they have not changed the design in almost 20 years... Highly recommended if you want durability and convenience.

For simple ease of use this is the pot. Stores an MSR pocket rocket stove, fuel and utensils for a great personal cook system on the cheap.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

I bought this pot because it fits my MSR Whisperlite perfectly. The first time I used it, my eggs were badly burnt, the bottom of the pot deformed slightly, and it was hard to clean. I didn't have the stove especially hot, either.

I continued to experiment with it. Hotter, cooler. More and less oil. I tried to season it by burning off some sesame oil. All to no avail.

I'm taking this pot back and getting an REI aluminum pot. It doesn't close nearly as well as this MSR pot, but I'll take thicker, nonstick aluminum over this too-thin stainless steel any day.
