Jetboil 1.5 Liter Cooking Pot

I returned my first jetboil pot because the lid shrank so much that I couldn't get it on again. My second pot is similar, but I can get the lid on if I use enough brute force. This pot is fine, but it has not wowed me and seems way more expensive than it should be. Also, if you camp with newbies, make sure you point out the black plastic protector cover on the bottom BEFORE they put the pot on the flame. Oopsie. Thankfully the stove continued to work even with noxious, oozing black plastic dripping in it.

Great set for backpacking. Light, easy to clean and more than enough room to cook for plenty.

I have used my jet boil to cook so many things! I have cooked bacon, eggs, hash browns, soup, pasta, boil water, popped popcorn, rice and other things. You need to be careful because it heats up so fast you can burn things on the bottom. With 2 of these we have cooked for 15 people. Everyone got soup and then before they even finished that bowl the next bowl was pipping hot and ready for 2nds! We had a jet boil cook off at work and I cooked a cream cheese fancy italian pasta dish in this and it was phenomenal! I won 3rd place with it! So you can cook more than camp food in this.

I've read the JetBoil is good for boiling water and that's about it. Not true. I was able to slowly render bacon and cook delicious scrambled eggs with cheese in the GCS pot. I was very impressed with the wider pot and don't think the new frying pan is needed for simple camping cooking. I highly recommend the GCS for couscous, rice, or any dish that requires steaming. Camping food doesn't have to be unhealthy, and the GCS helps in that department.

This cook set worked great on my camping trip. When ended up cooking up some pasta and it was much easier then having a pot over the fire. canister of gas screwed in very easily and we turned the valve and pressed the ignition button and it was going strong. We only had it on a low setting to conserve fuel and it boiled 1 quart of water in about 3 minutes. Pot fit on very well, didn't have to worry about it falling off and the coating was great and cleaned off very easily when we were done. Won't go camping without one of these ever again.

This thing boils fast...

I love the size and function of this pot. The cover can rest on top to help boil water faster and its big enough to cook a big pasta dinner in. Can your food still burn in the middle of the pot? Yes, but the flux ring does help to spread the heat around.

This pot works with all my camp stoves. The main drawback is for people who have bad memories... It is very easy to melt the bottom cover. Don't ask me how I know.

Another super efficient item from JetBoil. Gets the most out of every last drop of heat produced. Make sure you watch your heat settings I burned stuff a lot while I was beginning to use this (due to the efficiency).

I admit it, I don't have one of these. But it's going HIGH on my wish list after seeing it in action from some friends. The cooking possibilities seem completely endless from chili to fish and rice to all kinds of pasta. I can't believe i didn't get one with my original Jet Boil.
