   Good mess kit for the budding outdoor enthusiast.
   Usually I am very against anything aluminum for food preparation, but I took a chance when I saw this for a black friday deal because it is anodized. For backpacking and camping, this will work well. The weight is appropriate and the design is fairly well thought out.Pros:- Light weight for backpacks and toting it around- A nice carry bag is included that helps to keep everything compact and quiet (I practically silenced mine by including my cleaning handkerchief inside and around some of the items).- Handles are sturdy to reduce spillage and burns- The unit packs together well, regardless of how you arrange things.- The ladle is a nice touch for soups and hot water dispensing- Wood scraping tool and cleaning sponge are great additions, and not included in other comparable sets.- BPA free is good for me!Criticism:- The spork (I believe comes free) was just ok. Was not overly comfortable to eat from or use (sharper edges & loose), as I would have preferred a silicone or similar spork instead, but hey it was free so I will be grateful. I did sand down the edges and put some pressure on the clips and that helped a LOT.- The cups are really small for eating out of. A child would be the ideal user of them, but for adults they are too small. Given that this is marketed for children like scouts and “also” adults, I feel this is not a reason to deduct any rating.Overall, this little set is well thought out, user friendly, and does have merit by usage of good anodizing instead of bare aluminum. I look forward to putting some more meals through this to see how it holds up, but I am confident that it will. I also have to mention that the company is very eager to receive feedback and respond to inquiries – so MalloMe earns points with me for that. This is a great mess set that I will recommend that anyone getting into backpacking or camping try – especially younger people.

   Great value for money; high quality and great portability.
   Great quality and usability. All components are made from high quality materials, and they feel sturdy when used. I guess, like with any other cooking equipment, good care is needed to ensure longevity. The pot and pan conduct heat really quick, so make sure you have all your cooking ingredients prepped and near by if you don’t want things to burn or spill over. I was glad to see that whatever did stick to the bottom easily came off using the included wooden ladle and/or cold water.I love the size and light weight and the bag they come in. The kit can easily find a confortable spot in any backpack, and is well self contained so you won’t have utensils allover the place.Perhaps the only downside is the size/volume of the pan. The pot volume sufficed for a decent [delicious] banana-peanut-butter and soya milk porridge breakfast for 2, and for cooking 2 big instant ramen packs. The pot might have enough volume for a decent pasta serving for 2 (but I haven’t yet tried it). The pan is more on the size of single servings. If you have a big appetite, two stoves (or 2 burners on one) and cook for 2+ you may want to get two of these kits. Perhaps it’s safe to say that this is for personal use, or will require multiple batches for more people.Overall I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for quality and portability at a very decent price. It certainly kept our tummies and backs happy on our last camping trip.

   Product is well constructed very light weight. Works well with my single burner stove with no issues. The foldaway handles are a plus. Packs inside of itself and is very compact

   This Mess Kit is the Best!
   I am seriously so happy with this cooking set. My hiking backpack is only 55L, so I don’t have a huge amount of room and every inch and ounce counts. I’m also the type of person who likes to be prepared for anything when I go out, so having at least basic cooking items with me when I go out exploring is a must. This set exceeded my expectations. They arrived in their own sturdy drawstring carrying sack, and my first thought was how nicely compact the set looked from the outside. Then I opened everything up, and I was really impressed at how many useful items were packed away in such a small space. Lifting the lid and finding a folding ladle, folding eating utensil, and a wooden spoon/spatula just makes you feel like you have everything you need to put a quick meal together. The handles of the pans curve and fold against the pans when storing, and open up to make sturdy handles while cooking. Everything nests inside everything else to make for a really small and easily portable cooking set. Before buying this set, I read several reviews complaining that the pans weren’t big enough to cook for multiple people in. They’re not, but they’re not supposed to be. This is a single-person mess kit, and an exceptionally good one. If you need to cook for a family of four, this is not going to be the most convenient or quickest way to do it. This set is sized to be lightweight individual gear for the hiker or backpacker. The pans fit perfectly on my portable butane stove, they clean up nicely with the included sponge/scrubber, and easily pack back up in an instant. Once everything is packed in the bag, there is still room inside the pot for a couple of other small cooking items that you may want to keep handy, or other items such as a lighter and your pocket stove. The only other thing I would have loved to have seen included with this set is an actual plastic spatula (such as the kind you would flip fried eggs with). I bought a small one from the local thrift store for .75 cents and added it to my kit, just because a wooden spoon isn’t always thin enough to get under the edges of food and flip them, and I figured using a plastic spatula for those types of tasks instead of the included metal eating utensil will help protect my new cookware from scratches and keep it looking nice longer.

   Compact and versatil
   Very lightweight and complete cooking set…. easily fits in the pack and has plenty of room inside the nested pans to store my small stove and zip lock bags of spices

   Sinceramente, ha sido muy cómodo y práctico de llevar y usar. Se han calentado varias cosas, sin embargo la parte externa se quema con mucha facilidad, más lo importante es su interior, es fácil de lavar y no se pega la comida. Sus utensilios son muy prácticos y no abarca mucho espacio en la mochila de camping.

   Great set, I have both the 1L and 2L sets. The 1L set is perfect for backpacking, the 2L set is perfect for camping trips. They hold up well with my very aggressive pocket rocket mini stove.

    We brought the pot/pan along with us just in case we needed them…we ended up using them almost every day for five days, over an open fire, several times a day and they are still in good usable condition for our next trip. Non-stick, and very easy to clean! Be careful with the handle, because it is plastic. Our handle got a little burnt, but was fine, no melting or anything. Lightweight and sturdy, and the way they are packed together makes it easy to store. Would recommend.

    I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. Very good quality and a good size for 1-2 people. Now part of every camping trip.
