For the price

Can’t complain about the price but the edges are razor sharp and they don’t wash up very good still does the job tho

Good enough

Perfectly adequate. Not as good as the mess tins I used to have years ago. Available for half the price elsewhere, and individually rather than packs of two.

Simple aluminium mess tins, As you should expect great for cooking with or using a receptical to eat out of.
The one thing if I had anything to gripe about would be thickness/strength of material. They are not as sturdy as ones owned previously but that was 20 years ago. It is probably a good comparison to a Mars bar you just get quite as much for your money these days.

All in one

Excellent kit. Reverted back to these as I used them in the field as a squaddie. Why carry pots, pans and a kettle when these do it all. Folds away with ability to store within thus reducing space. Personally, I store folding burner, fuel tablets scouring/sponge, diggers and fire starter kit. Certainly cheap but definitely not nasty.

An excellent set of mess tins - allowed two ten year olds to make a hot drink and a simple meal (using the hexamine cooker). Cleaned up very easily - a great purchase and excellent value for money.

Sturdy and lightweight
4 out of 5

The mess tins themselves are lightweight, sturdy and easy enough to clean. Decent piece of kit for those that may not be financially able to splash out on bigger brands or more expensive pieces of kit. I'd prefer a slightly smaller mess thin but that's my personal preference as I'm a minimalist. I can't fault them other than that. If you clean and look after them they'll last you a long time

Mess cans - does what it says on the tin

Not much to not like about these Mess cans. Easy to store and easy to cook on. We cooked sausages in one and burnt them a bit but the tin came up again like new.

Great price and functional for someone who does not camp regularly. Would be handy to have a lid for boiling food stuff, although I just used the second tin as a lid which worked perfect..
