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.

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.:

It's not light, but it's dependable. You cannot destroy this pot. Burn rice to the bottom and scrape it off with gravel. Run out of fuel and stick this into a campfire to melt snow. Beat a bear out of camp with it. Lock the lid on to store leftovers in the bear bag after you run him off. As a bonus, the whisperlight fits inside for packing. Buy a titanuim pot with wierd coating to boil water for ultralight trips, but for all around use, this is the one.

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.:

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.

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.

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.:

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.:

I personally think food cooks better on stainless steel rather than lighter metals. The shape of the pot (short and wide rather than tall and skinny) makes this pot more versatile and easier to use- I like to cook real food in the backcountry, and in tall skinny pots its hard to do anything except boil water. The locking lid system also makes for efficient packing- when not in use I can stuff other things in the pot and clamp the lid down, then shove the streamlined pot into my pack without creating gaps. The built in handle is also functional when cooking; it stays locked in place and stays cool enough to touch. Its a perfect size for two people, probably even three unless you eat like a bear.

Bottom line, if you want everything to be as ultra-light as possible, get a titanium pot and some just-add-water meals. If you want to carry a few extra ounces and have a better cook set, I recommend this pot.
