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.

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)

Better for liquids meals
Alex6 years ago
This pot is fine and reliable so long as you don't try to cook anything too hot in it. I tried making a hash in this with some potatoes, and when I lit my pocket rocket stove underneath it, the pot caught fire within 2 seconds.
No, not the potatoes or the oil, but just the pot. There was nothing in it, and it was clean, and it caught on fire.
Additionally, the bottom has a dent stamped into it that makes it impossible to cook anything that isn't suspended in liquid because the oil pools off to the sides.
Good pot, but not for my purposes.

Really like this cookware.
5 years ago
I use this pot all the time in my home kitchen and I am a culinary professional. It is a good size for cooking things for my son and I. I have successfully cooked good rice in here several times, so the bottom has sufficient thickness not to burn everything. The lid sits perfectly and is my favorite camping cookware I have owned to date. The handle has held up well and shows no signs of duress after several months of regular use. This pot would be great on any camping trip. Nice and lightweight, but has a nuanced feel to it.

Really is the best pot I've ever used

It's still under a pound, but what it lacks... or rather has in weight, it makes up for in sheer durability. I've cooked over coals, backpacking stoves and kitchen stoves with this thing and it is absolutely dependable. The 1.1 liter is wide enough that you can actually use the bottom to from spuds and eggs. If you're careful, you can cover the pot with coals and turn it into an oven to make some bannock or even pizza! The seal when clasped won't keep water or other liquids from spilling every where, but it will keep solids from going lose and will limit the amount of liquid that is leaked. This, combined with my MSR Whisperlite International is my bombproof cooking set up. Buy with confidence.

Great little sauce/lentil pan

You don't need to be a culinary arts graduate to know the difference between pots and pans. This pot boils water quickly with the lid on, and will simmer almost anything that will fit from noodles to chili, and soups, to stews. It's compact and diuturnal.

Good pot
11 years ago
I can't remember how long I've had this pot. I've been using it for two to seven day bicycle tours for a couple years now. My entire camp kitchen is comprised of this pot and a plastic spoon and fork cut off to fit inside, a stove and a folding knife. I tour solo, cook one-pot meals, and eat directly out of the pot. This size is perfect for me. I pack the stove, a bottle of iodine tablets, a lighter, and a few other essentials inside the pot. It works great, lasts a long time, and doesn't cost too much. Five stars.

Stands the Test of Time

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.

Awesome allrounder

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.

solid, sturdy and pretty much bomb proof
8 years ago
I have been using a couple of these for years now, I am not an aluminum guys so these were an awesome choice. Very solid, easy to cook in them, good locking system on the handles, handles direct hot fires very well, easy to clean inside, great for storing gear in with its locking system nothing can fall out. With a little DIY you can suspend any of these pots over a fire, As mention before a pouring spout and graduation on them would make them perfect.

Perfect for an alcohol stove.
13 years ago
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.

Way better than thin, light weighted pan
11 years ago
I had the most expensive, light weighted pot/pan that costed more than $50. I just absolutely hated because the food stuck to pan like tar and was very difficult to clean. Thus, the material is very thin and light weighted. I returned it for MSR 1100 ml pot. I love it but slightly heavy. However, the food doesn't burnt like the thin, expensive pot. Cleaning was easy at cease. I never cook food on high. I cook it low to medium for food. The metal is thick and very strong that the heat evens the bottom pot. I only cook high for boiling hot water. What I love about this pot is the clamp. I can store my light weighted burner, gas canister, and other small items. Basically, all my little kitchen items are in that pot. I'm very organized- freak and compact. I pick 1100 ml which is perfect for two people meals and drink. You will not regret it and will understand once you use it. You will not go back to expensive, light weighted pot/pan.
