Reactor Cookware – 1.0L Pot Pots And Pans

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The MSR Reactor 1.0L Pot is a lightweight and durable pot deigned to work specifically with the compact MSR Reactor Stove system.

MSR says

Hard-anodized aluminum Reactor cookware features our proprietary heat exchanger that fully encloses the Reactor stove’s radiant burner. The resulting windproof design is key to the stove system’s unrivaled all-condition performance.

Our Verdict

Saves weight over long trips by reducing the total fuel carried apart from that the Reactor stove system boils a litre of water in just 3 mins and the wind resistant design ensures it outperforms conventional systems in poor conditions.  

Individually the Reactor pots are on the heavy side – that’s because of the heat exchanger they become weight efficient on longer trips of over a week where the amount of fuel saved (weight wise) is more than the extra weight of the pot.  

Reactor cookware is designed to work with the standard Reactor burner unit so if you’ve bought a Reactor System with a particular pot size you can add other pots from the cookware range.
