Supprise PartySupprise Party: Firstly, the size. Brilliant, it's actually a genuine 'large' size. While it's actual capacity is more, the pan easily holds 500ml of liquid on a level surface, still with 'some' room to spare. This means any regular 400g tin of food can be done without too much fear of it 'bubbling' over and escaping. The build quality is superb. Its a rigid shiny stainless steel, which will resist the worst of dents and scratches, keep its shape even with years of life on top of a hot stove, and also make washing it clean a breeze. The clasp secures the 'lid' very well and a built-in loop can be folded 'in' to keep it out of the way, or 'out' to hang it up, even when the pan and lid are joined. The handle also has a 'hanging' hole. If you 'thread' the loop over the handle and rest the lid on the handle with one end 'under' the hinge you 'join' the pan and lid so you can use 'them' virtually 'one-handed'! (see photo). The full length clasp/ folding handle offers very good grip and defence against a hot stove and pan. Very strongly riveted on, this, and the good hinge, are never likely to work loose. Practical enough to cook rice in the pan first, then put it in the lid to 'fluff', while cooking...

Grant: This mimics the device used by our soldiers in WWI. Sturdy, lightweight and very functional.

Raphael Traunwieser: Gut durchdacht. Ein Esbitkocher und besteck finden gut platz darin. Gut zu reinigen. Nur etwas unhandlich.

Corey Helmling: It's pretty basic, good size, pretty durable. I used to have one of these when I was in boy scouts and it was basically the same thing and worked pretty well.
Only reason why I took off one star is because I wish it came with the utensils and cup like the original World War 2 did ( My boy scouts one came with the forks spoon in knife that could be tied on to the end.)
Other than that I say it is worth it and I would recommend other people to buy this.👌

L Webb: I am used to cooking on stainless. This is just thinner than my normal pans. I gave the pan side a season and season it every use and eggs slide off beautifully.

I use over a fire or coal and would note that a little coal or fire goes a long way. This is not a pan to put directly on the fire or coals if you want an easy cleanup. 4-12 inches is the range over the coals I found ideal to get heat into the pan but not burn everything to cinders and control the heat/distance getting to the pan. Use oil when cooking if you want more nonstick action but the sauces that stainless steel is so well known for can still be made.

The handle is awesome and I didn't find heated up during use when extended. The handle joint to the pan is gravity secured so no flipping pancakes in this pan unless you like making a mess. 😂

The mechanism to close and store the pan and plate is really good and have not failed me and is not something that worries me. It is just that robust. I happily store cooking stuff in the pan and plate set to maximise the use of the otherwise deadspace. Stick a clothe in there to minimise rattling if you go that route. If I had a small enough Bluetooth...

jcis1st: This is a quality mess kit. Better than the one I had in the Army. I read the reviews and some claim is aluminum. It is not! The handle appears to be steel. Very strong magnetic pulll with neodymium magnet. However the pan and divided tray have the slightest attraction to the same magnet which becomes a little stronger around the rims of both where the metal was rolled to make the rims. This type of metal working creates a stronger magnetic influence in the SS. So definitely not aluminum and proves that its a good quality SS. I've seen other SS products have a much stronger attraction to a magnet then this does. Do not attempt to test with a regular or shop magnet or you'll feel no attraction at all. Hope this helps someone sitting on the fence about whether it's really SS or not. Buy with confidence my friends!
