Flimsy like a coke can. Bends in your pack. To small to cook the 2 cups of water required for most freeze-dried nasty dinners. Seven bucks down the drain, what was I thinking? I bet it would melt on a higher BTU stove, or with 3 matches lit at the same time. I will recycle this kit when I return my coke cans.
 The best starter kit October 12, 2008

If you're just starting out backpacking then this is the mess kit for you. It's practically identical to the kits Boy Scouts of America have been using for decades. There are a hundred different kits that you can find that will be made of stronger, lighter, non-stick material, but if you're only using if a few times a year, who needs all that?
Poor Quality June 12, 2008

Coleman products are almost always great, but this is not one of them. Made out of cheap aluminum, it is not sturdy and has no non-stick treatment, so cleaning is a pain. It basically can be used for one person for cooking a meal, but at a little more than a pound, it's not worth it. I wouldn't even buy it as a beginner set for the new camper. I recommend the "Open Country Sierra 5-Piece Nonstick Backpacker Cooking Set". It is treated with a non-stick coating on all sides and is lightweight. You really don't need more than two pots for cooking a meal for one to four people. Always remember - you get what you pay for.

Despite being very light weight, this is not worth the money. The handle for the pan gets very hot, and isn't strong enough. The pot, when filled with water and lifted from the handle, will tilt over sideways and spill water everywhere.
I did not expect much when I bought it, but I had hoped it would at least be functional.
For the price... April 24, 2008

Really, for the price, this product is a great buy. If you're looking for something reliable and functional for long periods of time... look elsewhere. This is your standard "boy scout" standard issue mess kit. Coleman has never let me down over the years, and I still stand by that statement. Coleman offers a good backup-quality mess kit for a price not ever worth haggling over. [buy it]
