Choose your size wisely!
OK it looks to me like plenty of reviews on here but after reading the negative ones I had to add my two cents. First of all you still have 4 different sizes to choose from so don't think you are getting a "set" of "nesting" pots. You will be receiving a single pot of your choice. You have 775 and 475 ml and the 1.1 and 1.6 liter. In case you are wondering... 775 ml = 31/40 of a liter. 475 ml = 19/40 of a liter. Both of these pots are obviously smaller than the 1.1 or 1.6. You fill them with gear, lock them down and then stow them away. Hence the name "stowaway" pots. I'm not sure why they give a color selection since they are all stainless and silver in color. I own the 1.1 and use it mainly for solo back-country adventures. It will comfortably cook a single pack of Ramen noodles or a single can of condensed soup to give you an idea of size. Another reviewer mentions it will hold two packs of noodles. They are either golf ball size packs of noodles or he is reviewing the 1.6 pot. This pot is perfect for boiling water fast to rehydrate Mountainhouse meals for two It's stainless steel so it can burn food easily if you don't monitor your flame. I've been using this pot for years now and it functions well. I own all sorts of other cookware but this is hands down my favorite pot. I am able to keep a Snowpeak Giga-Power stove and a small fuel canister inside as well a few other small pantry items. I have one in my "bugout" bag. Inside that pot I keep a headlamp, multi-tool, fire starter, bandanna, first aid, compass, sewing kit, mirror, fishing kit, cordage, cable saw. I lock it down and don't have to worry where anything is. I keep that in a small bag with a few other items. The weight of the pot itself is minimal. The pot is sturdy. Not easy to dent or ding. The lid and handle lock down nicely. Never had a problem with it accidentally opening. The one con is the handle won't lock into the open position. It clicks in place but as another reviewer noted... The handle could possibly fold up while pouring, thus dumping your hot whatever onto whatever. I've never had it happen but it could. I've cooked hundreds of meals between my two pots. GREAT product.. just read the product description. **update 4-1-2017** This is still a great pot. and has held up well over the years. Thanks for reading.
