Review for model:

Practical, thoughtfully designed shapes, which make it relatively easy to fit in a backpack or a pocket/pouch. Proper, aesthetically pleasing workmanship. As for durability, time will tell; for now, they haven’t been used enough.

The cookware is a copy of the mess tin used in the British and Dutch armies [they were made both from aluminum and stainless steel]. The cookware is well thought out in its simplicity. One mess tin can be used by two people; you can both cook and fry at the same time [the only limit is the number of heat sources]. When closed and secured, for example with a strap, it serves as a container [I carry a BCB stove, Dragon gel fuel cubes, spork, and spices this way].

Nice, handy, rectangular mess tins. Above all, lightweight; a plus is the handle, which looks like it will last. The mess tins can nest inside each other, which increases compactness. Inside, under the folded handle, you can put spices, cutlery, or other small items, secure with a band or arrange along the wall, thus providing an additional "safe" space for transporting more delicate items. I do not recommend using steel cutlery for stirring, as it leaves marks and it feels like you’re eating a meal with aluminum filings :)

The perfect mess tin for bushcraft. It is rectangular, unlike the competition, which is round. Easy to carry, and it’s nice that one fits inside the other.
