I was impressed with the versatility of the kit. What I was dissappointed with the the "non-stick" coating. I have had cheap mess kits with better non-stick coating. It held up well, but was too sticky for my taste. I guess I'll just drag along a spray bottle of cooking oil next time.

This kit does not nest together. . . . . . The description doesn't say that it will, but one assumes that it would. Very unhandy.

Not as good as titanium. . . however, at less than $8. 00 I feel much better when I lose, bend or destroy it during my hikes.

I read complaints about the nonstick surface wearing off quickly. This isn't the case at all. I imagine people using abrasive cleaning methods. Also, I oil my set before I set out on the trail, which I'm sure helps out as well. This set is pretty sturdy, cooks pretty evenly with no discoloration. I would definitely recommend this set for the price/quality. Rating: 4 / 5 Good, all around mess kit. I read complaints about the nonstick surface wearing off quickly. This isn’t the case at all.

Peterson Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:23:21 +0000 http://propanecampingstoves.org/blog/open-country-individual-5-piece-nonstick-mess-kit/#comment-5958 The idea of me spending more money was so that I would get a better "deal" right? Well this was absolutely not the case. I just got gypped out of an extra $10. First of all, the whole messkit doesn't even fit together. I have to bend the bar to even get it to shut. I've owned messkits in the past, and this just does NOT go together properly. It was supposed to be nonstick. . . that was a joke. Even with oil in the pan, things stuck to it just as bad, if not worse than a regular pan. Also, the pot looked fine, the cup looked fine. . . and the lid looked fine. . . but the pan itself came to me (was supposed to be brand new) completely scratched up. It honestly looked like it had been used for a few years, then scrubbed down real good to look and smell clean and then thrown in here. It was NOT new. I will make it a point to never buy from that seller ever again. Rating: 2 / 5 The idea of me spending more money was so that I would get a better “deal” right? Well this was absolutely not the case.
