GSI Outdoors, Escape Collapsible Cooking Pot for Backpacking and Camping

Originally I bought the 3 litter, tested it making pasta, the red pasta sauce didn’t stained the silicone and of course nothing sticks because it has the same nonstick as their Pinnacle line which I have the frying pan at home for a couple of years and still nothing sticks. Coming back to this line, the silicone is pretty thick and good quality thus I decided for the 2 litter as well. You should only use medium to low flame on your stove for 2 reasons, the main one is the flame should never touch the silicone, the second one is the bottom design which heats up really fast and efficient saving on fuel while camping although I’ve used it at home too with low flame no problem. I guess I’m hooked because now I’ve bought the coffee cup and the bowl with handle. Everything colapses to almost nothing and although not everything fits inside each other it still takes hardly any space for camping or traveling. Ever been to a timeshare where pots are all used up Stainless and you have to spend time scrubbing the bottom? Well not with this, when I’m camping or traveling the last thing I want is to spend time scrubbing (and using too much water when dry camping). I just wish they’d come with a carry bag but I have plenty from other camping equipment that I can use for these. I really hope GSI expands the line, a kettle would be nice, sure there’s other brand that makes something similar but I love the nonstick and the heat thingy on the bottom, also the cups have hard plastic on the bottom which makes it more stable since nothing is flat when camping and way easier to colapse. Hopefully GSI reads this and get on to making a kettle, that’ll be swell.

Cook and wash with it...breaks down flat for storage that takes little room. Sturdy cook surface and strong flex-out plastic for wash bowl and cutting board use (this is great for keeping food secure-- if you've camped enough then you experienced cutting food in the woods in those uneven surfaces to find it fall in the dirt, grass, or worse...no more)

Used this for the first time last weekend camping at Assateague Island Campground in Maryland. Cooked three Shin Rameun noodle packs. Easy to clean. Kind of pricey but the quality is there.

We don’t use this when packing or hiking in, so weight/size were not needed features. We use this on our two burner Coleman stove, and it’s perfect. Was a little skeptical, but it fits over a burner, boils like it should, holds a ton of water, drains easily- love it. We’ve added so many dishes now to our camp menu. It’s sturdy, even though it looks like it might wobble. You will need potholders or something else to protect your hands when using the handles. Easy to clean., collapses very nicely. Little pricey, but I regret not getting it sooner!

This pot is genius! It heats very evenly and well. On a basic Coleman 2 burner this pot will have water boiling in right around 8 minutes on high. It is not recommended to put grease/oil in there to deep fry items because grease can get to hot. Pretty pricey pot but that’s what you pay for when you need a compact item to do a full size job and that’s what it does. Have cooked hamburger helper, shrimp alfredo, and plenty of other meals with it. I would definitely buy it again, not that I should have to anytime soon.

I do a lot of back country 4 wheel drive camping and space is limited. This pot folds flat and works great. The heating surface traps heat better than a flat bottom pot so it heats water quickly. It’s easy to clean, folds flat for easy storage and hold a reasonable amount of liquid. All-in-all a very good cooking pot, one that I highly recommend.

Heats fast. Lid locks on easy to strain.

great pot for cooking. heats up fast and evenly. it's a tiny bit heavier than my thin aluminum pot but it takes up a lot less space because it's collapsible. it's worth it to me.
