trangia Large mestine

I'd order one before and didn't realize they made miniature mess tins, so I was pleased to find that this is the proper size that I was expecting. The quality is good. Nice and sturdy. Looking forward to using it with the mess tin accessories I ordered :D

I like this mess tin. Edges are not a big deal but yes a little sharp. Lid can be hard to get on and off at first, especially while cooking, but I got the hang of it quickly. This model is pretty big.

Great for camping cook rice and fry

This mess tin is very well made and a neat addition to the Trangia 'storm cooker' system, but it suffers the same thing that a lot of Trangia's stamped mess kit components suffer from - sharp, unfinished edges. Many Trangia fans will tell you it's easy to knock off the rough edges with fine grit sandpaper, and that's true, but Trangia is a major manufacturer of cookware and uses modern stamping and machining technologies. Running their pots and pans through a quick de-burring process should be part of the overall production process. Because of this I'm only giving this product 4-stars.

I ordered this mess kit to augment my surplus Yugoslavian mess kit. Euro mess kits are primarily for boiling or stewing, and Americans prefer more fried and sauteed foods. I ordered the larger size 8x5 inch kit to nest my Yugo kit inside it, and the whole rig, minus the 2 cup plastic top/cup fits inside the original yugo pouch. I don't need the Yugo plastic cup, I cary an American canteen with metal cup. My test meal was a simple fry up. Canned potatoes, re-hydrated TVP "sausage meat", powdered eggs, and Cheez Whiz. The skillet/fry pan is the perfect size for a one person meal. I had no problems with the handle being flimsy or wobbly, but obviously I knew it is not solidly attached. Just be aware and you should have no problems either. Also, this pan is made of thin metal. Watch your food. Stir it to keep it from burning. Move the pan if neccesary. My breakfast was perfect. Some tang, some instant coffee, it's another day in paradise.

Good item. Works as described and like I wanted

This box is good. Light enough to be a container for my camping kitchen and sturdy enough to be a frying pan when I in a mood of cooking my catch or just frying onion and veggies for my soup/rice/potato. BUT if you want to do all of the above without med kit then you MUST smooth the edges of the container with the sand paper... :-) I did not cut myself (because one customer already did it and shared the experience) and sanding was EASY, so I would recommend this product AFTER sanding it!

I bought this to nest with the other size in one of my day camping kits. It is a great, well built product with sturdy handles.

I have been using smaller Trangia aluminium mess tin for years. They are so good I purchased another 2 of them. The pro/con is that the surface area is retangular. It helps that it has a lid to speed cooking, which could also be used to cook directly with some limitations. There is no carry handle for the lid. The surface is rather thin which is good for weight, but not great for cooking. This is really good size to store things within them, but the lid doesn't lock. Many people use elastic bands. You can remove the handle for storage, or leave it attached.

The quality is good. I design to use it outdoor cooking in summer.

100均をはじめ色んなメーカーから出てるが、やっぱりメスティンと言えば｢trangia｣でしょ。 蓋が開けにくいだとか... バリが有るとか... コーティングされてないだとか... そんな事は想定内。 メンテして使い込む事でこそのギア。

Kom fram trasig går inte att stänga normalt. verkar ha blivit trampad på. Toppen!

Strong cooking tray ..well respected branding in the outdoor capacities..comes in various sizes. This large is good for quantity cooking in the open.….the small size is much a more for even singular portion cintrol.
