CAMPINGMOON Mess Tin Aluminum Camping Cookware Extreme Thick

Liked the size and versatility of this item for backpacking and camping. Would recommend.

I am thoroughly impressed with this mess tin. The days of poorly manufactured products from China is over! I admit I was somewhat skeptical of this item as this was my first time ordering anything from Campingmoon brand and Chinese made products have a bad reputation that has been around for years. This mess tin is thick, this means it doesn’t dent and scratch as easily as other mess tins. It also means it retains heat better with less of a chance of burning/hotspots. It doesn’t rattle or feel cheap. It has thick silicone handles that help protect your hands from heat. I’ve had European and American made cookware that doesn’t have silicone handle covers this thick. It has holes for draining pasta. It has nubs on the side that make it easier to handle and lift the lid. With many mess tins there are complaints about removing the lid easily and the need to grind burrs down from the lip. Not on this mess tin. It’s nice and smooth out of the box and the price is decent. I will be shopping for more Campingmoon products soon.

I like this container. It's thick enough, but heats quickly at the same time. It scratches easily. The silver polished finish is easily scratched and turns black on the outside. There must be a different coating on the inside of the pot, because it doesn't scratch so easily. It's reasonably easy to clean. Food does not burn and cling, like on cheaper metals, making for simpler maintenance. I don't expect this to look like new all it's useful life. Without abuse, I think it's going to hold it's shape and serve me well. It would have gotten give stars if not for the handle. It would be much more useful with a locking position. It's sturdy and durable in the extended, upright position, but if you turn the vessel upside down to empty, the handle collapses. The pan falls and the contents are directed backwards onto you. Same goes if you fold the handle over without the lid on, it falls into the contents. If the handle had locking positions, or more friction, it would allow you to pour things out similar to a normal pan,or pot. Likewise, you could fold it over and use it as a carrying handle. I like the size and quality. My only wish is the handle had a better design.

I rarely writes reviews, but I am so happy with my purchase of this mess tin. The quality is top notch, the material is thick, so it helps cooking evenly. The finish is smooth, the size and the shape works perfect for one person, smallish person. If you eats a lot, you might need a bigger size. I cooked rice in it, I lined with parchment paper, the rice came out perfectly the very first time, I am so impressed with the result. I highly recommend this product.

I’ve been going to stores like Daiso and other places and looking for this exact product, this is great for me to go camping and cook some eggs/spam and rice, I don’t even care, I cook everything in this thing and it is awesome. It even has that holes in the front.

I have many Campingmoon products, no I’m not affiliated nor have I ever received free products, I just love the quality of their merchandise, they have never disappointed and this is no exception. This mess kit is thicker but light weight, the lid opens and closes like it should not too lose or tight unlike the Trangia one that cut and burned me spilling liquid trying to open until I finally put it in the garbage and got this. I love the built in holes for draining liquids, you turn the lid around if you want them closed, smooth edges (will not cut me like the other one) the handle is much more substantial than others, the thickness of the kit leads me to believe it won’t warp with heat from the alcohol stove. Haven’t use it in the field yet but I’m sure it’ll perform well. I’m getting the cutting board/ tray delivered today that’s made for it and considering my previous experience with all their products I’ve purchased I doubt I’ll be disappointed, just wish they’d had the steam insert too. Get this one, you won’t regret it.

Huge, well made, I bought the fry basket to go with it.

Cooks like a charm, lightweight and fits in most backpacks.

Great size works well in pie warmer.

Worked as expected. Perfect for camping.

Nice piece of kit well made

I can finally make rice

This mess tin comes with a multilingual manual 📦. ​Since it’s meant for cooking food, I highly recommend washing it thoroughly before your first use 😉. The quality of this kit is impressive😳—it's made from thick, matte-finish aluminum and features a folding handle with a rubber coating to prevent burns and keep it from clattering against the lid. The lid has a neat company logo on top and four small steam vents on the side to allow pressure to escape safely while cooking 🤩. ​Inside, you’ll find measurement markings. The left side shows 100ml, 300ml, and 500ml, while the right side indicates water levels for 1 or 1.5 cups of rice. To be honest, most people won't carry a measuring cup while camping, and "one cup" can be a bit confusing for those not used to these specific measurements 🧐. I’d suggest measuring your rice at home first so you know exactly how much rice you need without needing extra tools 🥸. ​It’s a fantastic tool for outdoor cooking. Even if you aren't a big rice eater, it works perfectly for instant noodles or any other campfire gourmet meals you have in mind 😊. ​For the best rice💡: soak the grains for 20-30 minutes first, cook on medium until boiling, then switch to low for 10-15 minutes. The real secret? Flip the tin upside down and let it sit in a towel or thermal bag for 15 minutes after turning off the heat 🍚. This extra step ensures the rice is perfectly fluffy and fully cooked 🤩. ​Highly recommended 👍.
