MSR Stowaway Pots

Hiking & Camping > CookwearRated: ***** by 7 reviews.

Rock/Creek Outfitters

The Alpine Stowaway Pots are versatile and easy to pack for backcountry cooking.  The hinged handle flips over the fitted lid to lock it in place and are equipped with top handle tabs for convenience.  A multi-Use lid fits 1.5 and 2-liter pots and doubles as a plate. Rounded Corners Shape helps heat travel up sides of pot more quickly, boosting efficiency 5% and makes cleanup easier, and the durable, scratch and dent resistant Stainless Steel stands up in the most rugged conditions. 
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.

Features:

  • Durable
  • Multi-use lid
  • Panhandler grips rim of pot for easy lifting
  • Rolled lip
  • Rounded corners

excellent product

Rating:*****
I work in the North Maine Woods as a Warden and my most recent project has had me working out of a remote camp with no utilities for the past 3+ months. This pot and a MSR tea kettle are my only cook wear and both are extremely durable. I prepare all types of meals in the pot and never run into any issues of sticking or clean up. It has been abused and is as good as new.

Locked and Loaded

Rating:****

I got the 775ml (next to smallest) pot about 4 years ago. Yes, stainless steel is heavier than aluminum (which leaves a bad taste on food) and titanium (which is really expensive), but this pot is bullet-proof plus I can stow my MSR Pocket Rocket inside it along with some aluminum foil (wind screen) and matches. Then I can lock it all up and forgetaboutit. I took away one star for the weight but I still love this pot.

Great for car camping

Rating:****

I have the 1.6L and I use it strictly for car camping. I couple this with 2 msr stainless steel bowls and it fits perfectly (no rattle) with plenty of room to spare for utensils, food or anything else you may need. I like that it locks together tight so that you have the option of storing food away from the critters. Certainly not lightweight, but I never expected it to be.

MSR Alpine Stowaway Pot

Rating:*****

This is a nice, well made stainless steel pot. As others note, it is rather heavy, as any stainless steel cookware is. I don't mind carrying one for a night or two, but for extended backpacking I'd go with something lighter. The handle flips over the pot and locks it in place and will hold a small stove if you do choose to hike with it.

Made for the CAR camper

Rating:****

This dude is Heavy. If you are car camping, go for it, great little pot. If you are a backpacker, spend the extra doe and buy titanium. Got it for my father in law, and he loves it. However it did replace a huge pot he always drug around.

Negative Reviews:

Great Quality, But Way Too Heavy

Rating:**

I originally bought the 1.1L for backpacking. The pot is nearly indestructable, cooks great, and the locking lid will protect anything you put inside the pot. But, unless you're car camping or have hired a sherpa, I say spend the extra $$$ on titanium. Titanium is way lighter, just as strong, and cooks just as well. I do still use mine for car camping, but with car camping, I could just as easily use the pots already sitting in my kitchen cabinet.

Good pot

Rating:***

Its ok. I love that the handle flips over the lid and holds it in place. Good for boiling water but that's about it. Food sticks really easy to these and to the bottom if it gets too hot.
