Amazon.com Review
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

 "Nonstick" MESS August 16, 2009
Sheridan K. Peterson (San Antonio, Texas)
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.
 Great standard mess kit, nonstick July 10, 2009

Good, all around mess kit. 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.

This mess kit is not top of the line, and I didn't expect it to be for the price. This kit does not nest together...... The description doesn't say that it will, but one assumes that it would. Very unhandy.
 Nice kit but could be better for the price June 18, 2009

It's a nice kit and I am using and will continue to use it. I thought that the cup is too small, but this size is actually very convenient. But I don't like the black nonstick cover, especially on the pan where after a few uses bottom isn't smooth anymore. I'd prefer clean aluminium as I bought to my son in Walmart for less money. I also must notice that this mes kit wouldn't fit into a bigger pot from the same company, so you cannot expect that as well.
But it's lightweight, strong enough, and pretty comfortable and I like it anyways.
Open Country 5-Piece Mess Kit meets my hiking needs June 6, 2009

The mess kit is basically a silicone coated aluminum scout mess kit. 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.
