This durable 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
  • Includes fitted lid with its own 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.

Imported.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot - 1600ml.:

I use this pot to store my stove, fuel, and spork. I helps save space. I also find it very easy to clean. I fill it about halfway with water, put in a dab of soap, put on the lid latch it down and shake. Most of the time I don't even have to get my hands wet.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Burnt food will stick to the bottom if you're not careful. Otherwise, it works very well as a space saver. Keep your stove and fuel inside. Very sturdy and convenient

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot - 1600ml.:

I am not the kind of person who cuts the handle off my tooth brush. Nor am i the person who shaves off boot laces, or weighs my gear on a gram scale. I want heavy duty stuff that will work.
This pot will fit the MSR dragonfly stove (everything but fuel bottle), and not make you feel like a fool trying to cook in a teacup. If you got the room for it, you can't do better for the price. I fit this in my 70L gregory pack just fine.

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot - 1600ml.:

This is a solidly-made pot. The lid fits snugly during cooking and the locking handle is a good design feature. Adequate size for 2-3 person meals. Works best with white-gas type stoves (e.g., whisperlite-style stoves with the external fuel bottle, or old optimus and svea stoves). Also works well on an open fire. However, the stainless steel construction also makes this fairly heavy by today's standards - over 1 lb. But that also makes it fairly bomb-proof, too - over the years mine has been stomped, dropped, kicked and tossed, and except for some blackening on the exterior from use on fires, it's none the worse for the wear.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot - 1600ml.:

This is an awesome pot! The stow away handle is very well designed. The handle clasps shut to hold the lid securely in place while stowed in your pack. This pot is very durable and you don't have to be afraid of taking a scouring pad to it to clean it out like you do with the non stick pots. I like this pot so much that I use it a lot even in the home kitchen.

The negative feature of this pot is that it is just so darn heavy, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to take it deep into the back country or on an extended bicycle tour. For those types of epic adventures your better off using Ti or aluminum because of the weight savings.

For car camping, shorter trips, or even at home, this pot can't be beat!

Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot - 1600ml.:

This product is slightly heavier than some of its modern titanium counterparts. But for me-as a minimalist-the extra weight (which really is not much) outweighs the costs of the competition. It being stainless steel is more sturdy and durable than the lighter weight versions. You can drop it, throw it, fall on it, and it still will maintain its shape. Another pro to the stainless steel is it conducts heat better, reducing the amount of fuel needed to carry and also saves time. Its lid can double also as a plate which I find very useful. The size is probably a little much for one person-I think it would be good for 2-4 people. But I don't mind the size much even though I'm alone much of the time because I might as well have the extra room just in case, also when it comes to boiling water to sanitize, I want to boil a lot at once to save fuel, and thirdly I store many things inside of it so it doesn't take up much room. I only had to minimal problems with it. One, it slid around on my "MSR Pocket Rocket Stove" too much but if your careful-which you should be anyways-it doesn't matter. Second, the bottom was scorched fairly quickly but that doesn't really effect the cooking at all. So overall, I think this is a durable, great size, and is a great product at a low cost.

    Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot - 1600ml.:

    My husband and I generally backpack together, and for a long time we could not find a pot in which we could cook a decent 2-person meal-- well this pot is awesome for us. First of all, it is the perfect size that even though it is on the larger size, it still fits on our lightweight backpacking stove. It also has a great design with the handle folding over the lid-- it really provides great storage. We keep our evaporated milk and other more granular items in it, and it keeps things in great shape. It doesn't burn on the bottom, and it seems to hold up very well. I would recommend this pot to anyone.

    Comments about MSR Stowaway Pot - 1600ml.:

    This pot is a great pot for 2, maybe three, people on the trail. The dimensions are some of the best I've seen: the sides aren't too high or too low to make stirring a pain, and the bottom is big enough to brown some meat for your one pot meal. Also, the handle is sturdy enough to support whatever thing you're cooking, and it's flip-over-and-latch mechanism is genius for securing spices, cleaning supplies and food tight in your pack. Plus, this thing is a tough little pot. It seems like it can really take a beating, and have the lid still fit tight!

    One major grip, but not something unexpected: stainless is a poor cooking surface for anything involving frying or sauteing. For that you really just need a non-stick pot or pan. If you were thinking of buying this pot for the supposedly superior cooking capabilities of stainless steel (which doesn't really have any advantages anyway), don't. Buy it or it's durability and sweet storage design. If they only made this in a non-stick version (drool...)

      This pot nests perfectly inside the MSR Duralite fry pan which itself nests on the MSR mountain plates. I also store my MSR Wisperlite inside the stowaway along with my spatula, spices, and handle for the fry pan. Basically, with this setup I've got everything I need for 2 in a handy, secure container/pot.
