Kettle camping Nils Extreme NC17118 with lid 1.1 L, model 15-02-531

Nils Extreme NC17118 camping kettle with lid is a compact 1.1 L stainless-steel boil-and-pour pot designed for outdoor use. Built for basic camp cooking and water heating, it fits small camping stoves and can be used over controlled open flames. The kettle’s shape and lid provide a stable boil, while its volume suits single users or small groups who need a lightweight vessel for hot drinks and simple meals during hiking, camping or travel.

Advantages

The kettle combines a small capacity with a lightweight construction that makes it easy to carry in a backpack. Its lid helps retain heat and reduces spillage when pouring, and the steel body offers durability for repeated outdoor use. The compact dimensions and straightforward design simplify cleaning and storage after use.

Suitable for

• Boiling water for tea, coffee and instant meals while hiking or camping
• Preparing simple one-pot meals for 1–2 people
• Use on small backpacking or car-camping stoves and controlled open fires
• Short trips where low weight and compact packing are priorities

When it may not be suitable

This kettle is not intended for large-group cooking or prolonged heavy-duty food preparation due to its 1.1 L capacity. It may be less practical for situations that require multiple portions at once or for complex multi-course outdoor cooking.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 1.1 litres
• Material: stainless steel body
• Includes: fitted lid
• Designed for use on camping stoves and open fires (controlled flames)
• Compact size suitable for backpacking and travel

How to use

Place the kettle on a stable heat source such as a small camping stove or over a controlled open flame, ensuring the base sits evenly to avoid tipping. Add the desired amount of water (do not exceed the maximum capacity), cover with the lid and heat until boiling. Use the lid to reduce heat loss and to speed up boiling. When water is boiled, remove from heat carefully using heat-resistant gloves or a handle, and pour slowly to avoid splashing. Allow the kettle to cool before cleaning; rinse and dry thoroughly before packing.

What to consider before purchase

• Capacity relative to the number of users—1.1 L suits one to two people
• Compatibility with your stove type and the size of the burner
• Material and weight if backpack weight is a critical factor
• Intended use—simple boiling and light cooking rather than large-scale meal preparation

Usage recommendations

Use on stable, level stoves and avoid direct contact with large open flames that can damage the kettle or overheat handles. For efficient fuel use, keep the lid on while heating and use only the necessary amount of water to reduce boil time.
