Sports reviews of Coleman Aluminum Mess Kit
Customer Review: I love this kit
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I like this product allot. It has every thing you need to have a nice meal in the wilderness. The plate is great because I dump my rehydrated meals onto it so I don't get my hands dirty digging the food out of the bag. Also the cup is nice because If I want Hot cocoa during the day I can put it right onto my Esbit stove. I use a piece of aluminum foil as a lid, it works well. Some may complain that the cup will burn you but that a warning that your drink is too hot all in all it is a great kit That I always have with me in the woods.Customer Review: Not as bad as people make it seem.

I received one of these kits from a family member who outgrew it. I have cooked with the pot and fry pan quite a few times and have yet to be disappointed. Of course it will ding dent and bend if you're clumsy. But seriously if your this clumsy you should not be around fire and definitely should not be camping.Customer Review: Cheaper at Target

I bought this for my nephew and had it shipped to him. The set is great quality, but wish I had purchased it at Target and saved some money. Target sells them for $4.94.Customer Review: Have owned one for 30 years

I have to laugh at some of these reviews. I have owned one of these since I started in boy scouts 30 years ago and I take it backpacking and camping several times a year to this day. It bends, it dings, but it also bends back. It's still here and that's more than anyone can say of their plastic kit. It weighs next to nothing. It's not non-stick, but so what. I can take gravel/sand, scrub it around with my hand, rinse it with water and it's good. I have yet to see a light weight non-stick pan that doesn't get scratched and flaked in two years. It cooks on a camp stove just fine. I have not used it on a fire that I recall, so I can't speak to that use. I have a feeling people try it on a fire that's way hotter than it needs to be. You only need some mild coals to do any kind of pan cooking. I still get a kick out of seeing the initials I scratched into it when I was 10, and I still have the original butterfly nut too. The plastic cup that came with mine is only useful for measuring and that's the only negative I have for it.
For $9 I don't think you can go wrong, and you might just go right.
Customer Review: A great surprise!

I bought this item almost as a joke because it was so cheep and so lightweight that I thought it would be junk. I figured that even if it was useless I wouldn't feel bad about throwing it out because of the price. What I found was that this little set actually works very well. I was impressed with the weight and it cooks a great steak and cleans easily. It packs up pretty small too.
My only two concerns with this product was that
1. Because the frying pan is two pieces and aluminum the handle tends to bend with too much weight. Long term I think bending will greatly weaken the handle.
2. The handle of the frying pan can get a little hot if left on the heat for more than a few minutes. Still easily handled with a towel or shirt sleeve.
These are the prices you pay for the very light weight and cheep price. All in all though, a great bargain that really works.
