Camping pot GSI Outdoors 50190 — aluminium cookware, 1.1 L capacity, 245 g

GSI Outdoors 50190 is a lightweight aluminium camping pot with a 1.1 L capacity and an approximate weight of 245 g, designed for outdoor cooking. The single-piece construction provides a compact shape that works well for boiling water, heating pre-cooked meals and preparing hot drinks over camp stoves or open fires. A folding handle locks into place during cooking and folds for compact storage, making the pot suitable for backpacking, fastpacking and bicycle touring where low weight and small packed size matter.

Advantages

The pot is made of aluminium for fast, even heat distribution and reduced weight. Its single-piece design eliminates seams that can trap food or leak, and the folding handle provides secure handling while collapsing to save space in a pack. With a 1.1 litre capacity it balances volume and portability for one to two people, and the approx. 245 g mass keeps overall kit weight low.

Suitable for

• Backpacking and fastpacking
• Hiking day trips or overnight trips
• Bicycle touring and light travel
• Car camping when compact cookware is preferred
• Boiling water for drinks, dehydrated meals and simple cooking

How to use

Place the pot on a compatible stove or stable heat source, lock the folding handle into position before lifting or stirring, and monitor heating to avoid dry-boil. Use appropriate heat settings for the cookware and adjust flame size to prevent overheating the handle area. After use, allow the pot to cool before folding the handle and stowing it inside a pack or cookware set. Clean with warm water and mild detergent; aluminium can be rinsed and scrubbed with a non-abrasive sponge to remove food residues.

Usage recommendations

For long-term care, avoid prolonged high-heat exposure and acidic foods that can accelerate aluminium wear. When using over open flames, support the pot on a stable grate or windshield to ensure even heating. Carry the pot inside a protective sleeve or with clean items to prevent scratches or dents during transport.
