MSR Alpine Stainless Steel Stowaway Camping Pot

Well madeof heavier gauge steel; so not ideal for lightweight backpackers, but PERFECT for car camping! I bought both the 1.1L pot, as well as the 800ml. The smaller pot fits inside the larger with space to pack a small sove around it. I really appreciate the locking lid feature. Great gear!

Loving this pot! It's MSR so I know it's good stuff. I've owned MSR stuff for the last 20 years and I still have it all. They make great quality items and this is no exception. The pot is heavier than I expected and thankfully so. There are a few items I can't backpack without. Tent, sleeping bag, stove, pot. Good to know this will be around when I need it. It has a great contraption for closing the lid and even under force from stuffing it full of gear it holds well and I don't worry about it breaking. It packs small and fits really well with the wood fired cookstove Portable Stainless Steel Wood Burning Camp Stove - Wolfyok(TM) Outdoor Firewood / Wood Camp Stove for Camping, Hunting, Backpacking, Picnic . If you put the stove in the pot it doesn't fit perfect vertically and will leave the lid high a few millimeters but it doesn't matter because it clamps together and holds it tight which will stop it from wearing the pot through rubbing. If you consider this option you'll have a nice little combo for cooking. The pot and stove are a great combo and both are affordable. It's a little heavier than I expected but marginally. It doesn't need maintenance and there are no parts to loose. The lid latch seconds as a handle. Not only is this high quality but it has engraving on the lid, the pot, etc... I look forward to the years of using this little pot. I paid full price happily for this item.

I purchased this pot to replace my 775ml MSR pot. Which while it was great was in need of replacing due to use. I also am now cooking for more than one person usually so I wanted something that I could use for two people. Pros: - Well constructed Stainless Steel - Durable Cons: - Not the lightest pot - Liquids tend to dribble These are great for camping as they are quite compact. The build quality is seems solid, however they are not the lightest pot of this size on the market. Probably lean towards titanium for backpacking, but for camping these work well. The pot is hinged to lock in the pot cover and handle. Great design and easy to unlock and secure. I prefer not to cook in a cup or extremely small pot. If I can fit this in my pack and I can easily. It works for me. 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. This pot is a package in itself. The pot boils water and is large enough to fry food and everything stays in. Did I mention the lid doubles as a plate. All in all, the pot is tough and durable. You can cook over an open fire or on a stove. I would easily purchase this again .. its just a tough little pot with no frills.

OK - THIS is JUST PERFECT. I'm packing a 3-5 day Survival Bag for 2 people, and purchased this one in the 775ml size ( about 3 1/3 U.S. Cups) . I looked at many before deciding but felt this looked like good quality for the money. BUT the kicker was that I was also going to buy a small portable wood / alcohol stove. There are also many of those, and while they all "look" the same, they all have slightly different dimensions from different manufacturers / sellers. So anyway, after reading one backpackers advise about how the Ohuhu Portable Stainless Steel Wood Burning Camping Stove (size 5.3 x 5.3 x3"H) nests PERFECTLY inside THIS MSR 775 ml pot and then both inside the black bag, I thought I'd give those two models a try. They came yesterday -- and not only is the pot a very nice quality pot, small, and perfect for my purposes, the Ohuhu Portable Wood Stove (also nice quality) fits PERFECTLY inside this pot just as the other reviewer said. This makes for a very small but quality pot and stove that is both lightweight, good quality and very EASY and small to put into a backpack to have both pot and stove in one. VERY HAPPY i got both of these. Pot is the perfect size to fire up water or a couple cans of beans. And it sits nicely on top of the Ohuhu Stove. There are probably several sizes of those stoves so if interested, look for the Ohuhu that is 5.3" x 5.3" x 3"H and weights 14.2 oz - that's the one that fits inside this pot.

Works great, both frying, and boiling dehydrated food. The 1.1 L is pretty big great for when you have to cook for 2 or 3. On a trip to the Triple Divide in Glacier National Park we fed 3 people from this pot for a few days. I have cooked quinoa for 4 people in this pot on a backpacking trip on the Catskills. It's not a massive serving for each and we had all cooked a hotdog over the fire too but it is much bigger than you'll need for a solo trip. The price is good. I love that you can stow the leftovers for lunch or breakfast the next morning. The only draw back is that it is a bit on the heavy side. If you have the money to spare I would go with the Snowpeak - Cook N Save Titanium Pot. I was on a small budget so this pot did the trick for my belly and my wallet. The Snowpeak - Cook N Save Titanium Pot half the weight and you can still save you food. You can get a larger pot for half the weight, but it's twice the price. For the money this pot has done me good. Happy Hiking!

Okay, I love these pots. I haven't even used them yet, and I love them. I bought the 775ml and the 475ml. I love them both. I've always been a fan of MSR products, and these are no exception. I bought these as part of my disaster/emergency preparedness gear. I am prone to extended power outages where I live, and I use camp/backpacking stoves and other gear to get by when sitting around in the dark wanting to eat. During one of the most recent outages, which lasted almost three days, I found that my pot and pan collection was lacking. I had larger stuff, but I wanted to make a single serving of non-instant oatmeal and promptly discovered that I had nothing smaller that sat on any of my stoves well. Shortly after, I bought a little rocket stove, and in the reviews someone had mentioned packing their stove in this pot. Well, that was too much to resist. So I bought both. 1. The quality and design is outstanding. This is an ELEGANT design and the quality is great. By "elegant" I mean that it is a well-thought out design that is just super great. It is also pretty nice, looking too. By any engineer or systems person will know what I mean by "elegant design." It's not a kludge. It's not an average pot. 2. It works great for use with my JetBoil pot adapter, my Trangia stove, my burner on my Coleman RoadTrip grill, and it could obviously be used over pretty much any other heat source that strikes your fancy. 3. Obviously, you can store other stuff in there, from a backpacking stove, to...well...whatever fits in there that you want to stow in there. I was not bribed by MSR to say this. I think these are far and away the best two camping/backpacking pots I own, and I love them. I know when it comes time to cook in them, they will be terrific.

Sturdy pan. The 1.6 litter pan is the size of a small 8 inch pan in your kitchen. MSR pans are famous for theire durability out in the field. Stainless Steel is easy to clean and will last for every. Unless you are backpacking I would reccomend getting the 1.6 litter pan.

i already own the larger size of this pot, but got this one as a replacement as its a little smaller and more practical for my uses. i love it! i carry it everyday in my pack and its pretty much the only dish/bowl i eat out of at home other than my gsi stainless cup. it seems sturdy and well made. nice polished stainless. secure latch to keep it closed. its not watertight so you cant use it like a canteen, but works great to store gear, or stuff a sack of trail mix inside when its packed away. the steel is thinner than a typical stove pot, so it can burn if your not careful, but that's not a big deal. i use the lid like a plate when i eat, though the handle stops it from resting on a table top. i just hold it or set it on my lap. handle is plenty long to keep it out of the flames of a fire, and lid fits nice. according to a digital scale, mine ways .92 pounds. i'm not sure how much they vary from pot to pot though i would guess not very much. these are great to store food in your fridge too since the handle folds over top and makes it fairly compact. stainless wont leach toxic chemicals into food the way plastic does, and doesn't retain smells from strong foods like garlic. i still use my larger pot at home, its my rice cooker now. i just cook up a batch of rice, and store the leftover right inside the pot in the refrigerator. it's awesome! can't recommend this pot highly enough, i use mine literally every day.
