Texsport Black Ice Hard Anodized Mess Kit Reviews

Review by Virginia P: 3 Get Gear: Mess Kits

51lZY7ySCHL. SL75  Get Gear: Mess KitsI bought this for small outdoor trips, thinking that it would be nice and compact, as well as lightweight. It is both, however, the small boiling pot is too small to hold enough water worth heating. It also tips over if you don’t have anything to set it down on while heating. I thought I could suspend it over the fire with a tripod but after filling, it tips sideways and dumps all it’s contents. The frying pan is suitable but the handle is a bit flimsy, though functional. After the first use, the “non stick” coating rubbed off in some places, even though I didn’t scrub it. A knife or fork will scratch it off too.

Review by Skull Fungus: 2 Get Gear: Mess Kits

51lZY7ySCHL. SL75  Get Gear: Mess KitsCompact and usable, very light weight, but the pot isn’t balanced well if you are thinking of hanging it from a makeshift tripod (not deep enough) and it all rattles.

A lot.

A metric buttload.

I got the product for the non-stick coating (which has held up so far) for its ease of cleaning and non-reflectiveness, the multitude of items it came with, and the nesting capabilities…which I assumed would have some wiggle room inside it, but not much.

I was waaaaaaay off. Unless you plan on packing your socks in it while you’re hiking, you’re going to be heard a mile away. I could still hear it rattle in the center of my pack, under two changes of clothes.

Even if moving quietly isn’t a priority for you, it gets annoying real quick.

Also, the cup is plastic…which I haven’t melted yet, but then again, I’m more careful with fire than most.

If you can deal with the noise and you’re boiling something in the pot other than thin liquid, for .00 it’s a decent buy. Easy to clean, easy to use.

It’s not something I’m going to throw away, but I’ll be keeping my eye out for something a little better.

If it wasn’t for the rattle, I’d give it four stars. I should probably have rated it three stars, but I can still hear it rattling in my nightmares.

Open Country Individual 5-Piece Nonstick Mess Kit

31DQR42RB9L. SL160  Get Gear: Mess KitsThe set is perfect for a rugged individual. The fry pan handle converts to a clamp with the loosening of the bolt and nut. Two positive detents parallel the bolt to ensure the handle will not slide around when frying. Finished with a one-coat nonstick finish makes clean up easier and the black nonstick coating allows for faster heat transfer.A backpacker or solo camper will find this mess kit indispensable. A step up from kits of old, this one features a nonstick finish on the inside of the 3/4-quart pot, seven-inch frying pan, and seven-inch dish. All cookware is made of aluminum for lightweight yet sturdy use. A plastic eight-ounce cup with handle stores inside the pot with its snug lid. When all the parts are nestled together, the frying pan’s handle pivots over the pot and screws securely. Plastic or wooden cooking utensils should be used, and cleanup is a simple matter of wiping off each nonstick surface. –Ann Bieri

  • Includes 7-inch nonstick frying pan with pivot handle
  • 3/4-quart kettle with tight-fitting cover

Open Country Individual 5-Piece Nonstick Mess Kit Reviews

Review by Daniel A. Sturdevant: 5 Get Gear: Mess Kits

31DQR42RB9L. SL75  Get Gear: Mess KitsThe non-stick finish makes them easy to clean and use, and the aluminum composition makes it the ideal weight… light! It all fits together easily and performed well over the campfire… perfect for dehydrated meals. Measure the water, heat it up, pour it in and you’re ready to eat. The set heats and cools quickly, thanks to aluminum’s ability to transfer heat efficiently. Last but not least, It’s made in the U.S.A.!

Review by Todd Thebarge: 4 Get Gear: Mess Kits

31DQR42RB9L. SL75  Get Gear: Mess KitsI gave this only four stars not due to the quality of the set, which is very good, but for the size. The pot and frying pan are quite small, and I cannot imagine being able to cook enough food in either one to satisfy me. That said, I just bought a bigger frying pan, a couple of slightly larger pots, and am happy with the set up I have now.

I would suggest putting a paper towel between the layers of cookware to prevent scratching during travel.

Otherwise it is a good quality set, and with a few additions, will meet all of you outdoor cookware needs.

Coleman Aluminum Mess Kit Reviews

Review by Ashliegh Nichols: 4 Get Gear: Mess Kits

311C3VWD1YL. SL75  Get Gear: Mess KitsI 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.

Review by James H. Stewart III: 4 Get Gear: Mess Kits

311C3VWD1YL. SL75  Get Gear: Mess KitsI 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! ;-)

Review by Jaredin Pon: 5 Get Gear: Mess Kits

31MJV50K88L. SL75  Get Gear: Mess KitsThis mess kit is excellent, though I feel that the metal is a bit thin. It’s lightweight, has three pot/pans that all fit together and enough space that you could buy a fork and knife and stick it in the biggest pot/pan and then put them back together. Efficient in size and design, lightweight, and inexpensive. It’s a winner.
