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.:

Good internal volume, what you give up in weight over titanium is easily made up for in reliability. You can cook over a stove or just stuff it in the hot coals of a fire (try that with aluminum or titanium) could serve up 3 or 4 people so that means 2 or 3 ppl don't have to carry a separate pot. Locking handle means you securely carry protected items inside when not in use to save space. Upgrade tip: handle and latch can be connected with small length of coat hanger with hooks bent into the ends and hung from tripod over your campfire with a piece of wire. no stove needed (tripod made from sticks)

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

Best pot on the market. Carries and protects my MSR Whisperlite Internationale when i'm out in the backcountry.

Sturdy and reliable means safety for me and team when we are "out there" exposed to mother nature.

Great and quick for boiling water when mountaineering or ice climbing.

Easy to clean and store.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

Used with alcohol stove in minimal wind, temp 50 degrees, no rain.
Handle and arch on lid able to be grabbed bare-handed during roaring boil (Very safe to touch). Handle was sturdy enough to pour almost a liter of water without bending or folding into other cups and bottles. Fluid does run down the side.
Lid fits secure and I love the fact the handle folds over and uses a latch to close.
Heat distributes well with alcohol flame, roaring boil using 670 ml of water in less than 7 minutes.
Durable in back pack, I'd say you can knock a bear out cold with this bad boy if needed.
I say it's an even trade taking back my trek 900 titanium cook set for better heat distribution and saving 20 bucks. I unfortunately gained 10 oz with this pot.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot 1100ml.:

Ok first, 6/9 people said this thing was heavy. Yes, compared to the super lite camping pots offered it's heavy. But by no means is this pot heavy. If you aren't one of those guys you see on tv in super extreme places where an ounce could make the difference in success or failure, then the weight of this pot is not going to make any difference in your life.

Two, someone said this thing blues super easily and I think someone else said they seasoned it. It's stainless steal not cast iron. And I've now used this pot over my soto camp stove for nearly 16oz of fuel (3/4 of the time at full heat) and I have witnessed no discoloration. The pot looks like it did when I bought it.

The 1.1L size is perfect for me. I'm usually cooking for one... sometimes for two. It's small enough to look like something you should take camping/hiking/whatever but its big enough that I'm not constantly worrying about boiling over.

Heat transfer is awesome. Heats amazingly fast. Cools just as fast (when nothings in it). aka... its not a very good insulator...it takes and gives heat quite willingly. If you have something like potatos in the pot then its going to stay hot to the touch for a while. If you boil water and pour out the water then the pot will be cool enough to touch within minutes.

Locks down the lid well. Lock feels secure and doesnt rattle around while clamped.

The handle is how it looks. It's sturdy enough to make me feel fine about lifting the pot full of food...but at the same time its not solid enough and I would wave it around without fear of it snapping off in my hand.

If we're being realistic, assuming this size works for you, this is one of the best pots you can get to go camping etc. with. If you want to be unrealistic and think that those couple ounces are going to be the difference in you cramping up and not being able to continue vs you being light and dandy through the trails... then maybe this isnt the pot for you.

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.

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.
