MSR says

This 2.5 liter pot makes it easier than ever to cook like you do at home while on the trail. Its Fusion® ceramic nonstick coating offers worry-free cooking—not only is this premium coating extra-durable, it’s also safe at high heat and PFTE- and PFOA-free. Great for soups, sauces and other sticky fare, this easy-clean pot adds capacity for 2-4 people and larger dinner duties. Light and tough, it lets you enjoy the whole backcountry experience, especially dinner time.

Our Verdict

MSR’s Ceramic 2.5L pot is a very large pot that can hold enough food for 2 to 4 people easily, if you are boiling water or making something like a bolognaise. As with the rest of the Ceramic family from MSR it uses the Talon handle which is one of my favourite things about the range. It can be snapped into position and be super solid when in use, be folded away when carrying it in your pack so you definitely won’t lose it, or you can fully detach it when you get back home to give everything a proper clean.

The lid has a silicone grabber so no more burnt finger tips when checking on your meal and the lid also has a knurl to keep it more securely attached either when walking or if you want to leave something to boil for a while. The inbuilt strainer is also super solid and easy to use without making too much mess.

This is a really strong ceramic coating, but you still need to be careful to not scratch it with metal knives or stoves  when you’re out in the wilderness using it. I would also not recommend washing it with a wire brush or other really abrasive cleaning materials. Luckily the non-stick qualities of the ceramic should negate the need to really use something so rough to actually clean the pot.
