MSR Base 2 Pot Set

I've used this pot for about 2 years now and love it. I usually just bring the large pot and use it as to store the rest of my cooking equipment while backpacking. While I have to balance it on small stoves carefully, the pot works like a pot...at 6000 feet elevation I can boil 32 oz of water (with my MSR Pocket Rocket) in about 5 minutes. It is very light, very durable, and I use it to organize when not actually boiling. I recommend it for any endeavor.

This seems like a great pot. I just bought it, and haven't used it in the field yet, but I boiled water in it, and that worked great. It is a nice size and can be filled with cooking kits for the pack. Looking forward to using it.

Bought these to compliment my EGX EX stove.

Light weight, very sturdy handle. I love the strainer holes on the lid!

I have a great deal of MSR and it has never let me down and thats why I chose to go with the MSR Base 2 Pot Set .
It does heat up quickly but even when taking great care of it the finish comes off easily exposing the metal underneath .
Its really lite only because its thin .
The handle/pot grabber is tough to use while your cooking and could cause you to spill your grocerys .

Pros : lite , the lid has a strainer

Cons: read above

If they lower the price by $25 on this unit it will be doable...not for me! its going back after only one use.

Two lightweight nonstick pots with handles in the right sizes that nest together with room inside for your MSR stove and Fuel Bottle. What's not to love. Just be careful that you put something between the inside of the pot and what you store inside so you don't scrape the the nonstick surface. Go ahead and pull the trigger on these. You won't be sorry.

These pots work great, the only reason I didnt give them 5 stars is because they are so expensive, sure they are light I mean they seem a little on the pricey side. Other than that though everything worked fine with them i was able to make pasta with them and use the strainer in the lid which was very convenient.

I have use this pot set just once. My opinion is that it boils super fast, is very light, I can accommodate the MSR Whisperlite Internationale inside the 1.5 L pot (without a fuel bottle), and it is easy to clean.

So for me, it is excellent!

These do exactly what you need them to do and don't cost much. Food cleans easy, water boils quick, and you can stuff your whole backcountry kitchen in them for traveling. I easily stored the included Talon pot grabber, my MSR Pocket Rocket (CAS0368), Fuel Bottle (CAS0375), BC.com SPORKS (BCC0131), lighter, cleaning cloth, and a few freezedried meals in the 2.5L pot before stuffing the whole kit deep into my pack. Because these are made of aluminum, they cool quickly so you don't end up burning your hands in your excitement to get into that freeze dried Beef Stroganoff (MHS0003). The only thing I wish it had was some super teched out rubber band or something to help keep the whole kit together.
