Customer Review: Aluminum Mess Kit
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I wanted a very light, easy to carry frying pan. Anything that came with it was extra. This unit fit that bill. All 4 pieces weigh less than half a pound, but feel quite sturdy. NOT non-stick, but I didn't expect that. Just fry the bacon first! ;-)Customer Review: camp cook ware

I've used this set on 10+ multi-day backpacking trips. It is extremely light weight, compact, and very inexpensive.
I once took a tumble and the set's frying pan got pretty dented up. I was able to push out the dents and mold it back into shape with ease.
However, the set has a few key design flaws that really make it a "leave at home" set. The frying pan's handle is made of thin aluminum and when lifting, the handle bends and will likely spill whatever you're cooking.
Secondly, the swinging handle on the middle sized pot /w lid has no way to lock in place, so when you pick it up from the handle it swings back in forth spilling any liquid contents. The shallow pans and angled sides make it even more difficult to keep contents inside. Lastly, the small mug's handle absorbs heat from the mug very quickly, and then retains that heat longer then the beverage (basically by the time the handle has cooled enough to grab, the drink is cold.) Now, after you have experienced all the flaws, and learn to work around them its just too much effort.
Overall, even with all the faults, its not too bad of a set. If the manufacturer were to make a few minor adjustments to the design, it would be a much better.

I didn't pay much attention to the dimensions of the items in this kit, I should have broke out the measuring tape. This stuff is tiny! It might be good for very small meals for one person or child but for two adults its just too small. The largest piece may be able to cook 4 eggs at best, and the pan might be able to cook a can of something as long as its a normal can not one of the jumbo cans of beef stew or something.
I gave it three stars, for three reasons, it's dirt cheap, it probably would be perfect for one person who doesn't eat much, and it all fits into itself in a great little compact item which would be perfect if you're trying to save space.

My boyfriend and I got this to take with us this summer on our camping trips. I like that fact that it's small and compact. The whole set will fit nicely in with our gear without taking up a lot of room. Haven't use it yet, but don't see any problems with the set. It's not something to make a huge family dinner with, we plan on using it for things like hot-dog sauce. Also, the storage bag in the picture does not come with kit. All in all its fine with us. If you want something to last for a long time than invest in a higher dollar kit, this should last us the summer and for the price, that works just fine for us!
