A great pot for when you are out and about
When I find something that works, I like to let others know.
I am always looking for ways to cook when I am out and about. For years I have looked for a way to steam rice.

I just got it in and had to try it out. ½ cup of dry rice gave me over 1 cup of cooked rice. It turns out ½ cup of uncooked rice is too much for one person. The flavor was not washed away or boiled out with the steam. Light and fluffy, not the clump I usually ended up with.
I cooked some Basmati Rice about lunchtime and TDW and I had some with butter, salt and pepper. Very filling.
I cooked some hamburger in soy sauce for dinner. ½ cup of uncooked rice, steamed to perfection with a hand full of dehydrated mixed veggies in with the rice as it cooked. Added chopped hamburger when the rice and dehydrated mixed veggies were done. Dinner was superb.
The pot is NOT too big to carry in a pack. I wrapper cord on the handle, this makes it easier to move, when hot. If you like rice and not a clump of white goop, when you are out and about. You have to try this pot.
I can see other uses for this pot. I am planning on making coffee in it, to give that a try. My MSR 2-cup Stowaway pot fits down in the steamer pot, just right for reheating.
I can now steam my rice and dehydrate it for use when camping. I was thinking this could work with my cracked wheat.
I have a small hiking Dutch oven I will not be without. This pot, at this time, seems to be another, never leaves home without, pot. I could not be happier, with a purchase, then I am with this pot.
