Good points

Light weight,
Quick heated, so cooks quickly
Because it is thin boils water very quickly

Bad points
Hard to clean when you use oils
Dents rather easily

All in all you get what you pay for, recomended for hikers for lightweight and sturdy properties,
But recommended you get an non stick version for an extra 4 pounds

Some peoples may be put off by the cheap construction, for the price this is a very very light mess kit, and in that respect it is perfect! Just handle it with care and you should get years of use out of it....

I bought these mess tins for use while camping in Norway for a week. I had only ever used square, steel military-style mess tins before, and thought these would be strange to get used to at first. As it turned out I now prefer this design.

The set is made up of two pots an two lids (the lids can also double as frying pans). I would say this is perfect for between 1-3 people camping and the tins are very lightweight indeed (useful if you're forced to cut down on weight to conform to Ryanair's tiny baggage allowance limit).

I also found the tins to be easy to clean with a regular washing up brush and a bit of brillo pad. I would advise soaking and rinsing straight away after use to avoid burned on stains, but this really applies to any pots. My tins have come back in near perfect condition apart from a few dents here and there which were easy to pop back out. I would highly recommend this product.

Fantastic camp set. Ordered Monday using free delivery (on a £6 item!?!), arrived Friday lunch. Excellent little set for what i require it for (to be used with a web tex field warrior stove) at an amazingly cheap price!

I ordered a Yellowstone cook set and it came in an Asda box. Maybe it is the same product but it should have been as ordered.

Bought this set of pans thinking it would be useful for camping, arrived quickly but my, they are super small. Perhaps it is my fault as didn't quite understand that when I purchased them. So yes, they are cute and package together really well and all in good shape etc, but I couldn't really use them as they are so small. You could probably fit the contents of a tin of beans in the largest, and as for big bowls of pasta/rice etc for 2-3 people it's not practical so not particularly useful for me. So, it probably is a good buy if that is what you are looking for.

Small, but good set of pans - very easy to clean. I cooked some scrambled eggs in there, which are sometimes hard to clean and it came off easily. They pack away inside each other too.

These pans are perfectly adequate for cooking over a gas stove - I only had one ring but everything I cooked turned out well and they washed very easily.

just come back from a long weekend camping trip, and would like to say this is a good product.

light weight, no issues with cleaning it, and easily coped with 2 of us camping.
the smaller of the 2 pans easily coped with a normal size heinz baked beans (around 60% full).

very good bit of kit, small, light, usable and a very good price too.

In the picture, the items look like they are non stick, but instead they are the worst ever and very flimsy, I have used one of the bits once and that is enough for me, I would never recommend that you use this particular items for camping
