I Have used this pot and lid for the past several years. I've never had a problem with the lid slipping inside during use. The lid works great as a pot grabber. I just measured where 500ml is in relation to the handle peices - then go by that to get 500ml for Mountain Houses. I've never used the cup...always left it at home. 2 thumbs up on this drop from me!
bcmnthntrIf you don't mind, could you please help me test whether the silicone cup makes a watertight seal if stretched over the mouth of the pot instead of the bottom? I've always wanted to know if it could become a makeshift water carrier similar to the Vargo Bot.
FeebleOldManI filled the pot with water, then put the cup on as a lid. At first it seemed waterproof - turned it upside down, lightly shook it, ect. Then I left it on its side for 1/2 hour. When I came back some water was dripping out. I wouldn't want it in my pack full of water, however carried upright on the outside water bottle pocket would work.
westcoastI use it with an MSR pocket rocket
Works great. Pocket rocket has a small burner in the center, so it works well with the narrow pot (snow peak stove would be similar).
