Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I been abusing this mess kit sense 2012. I have burned food into it, placed it on the coals of a fire and scrub it with a green scratch pad every time I clean the outside of it. I have read some of the 2 and 3 star reviews here on this mess kit and have a few things to say. 1) People you really should not put this on a stove on high heat without something in it. Making it glow red with nothing in it is bad on the metal. 2) Why would you complain about this not being big enough for more than one person. This mess kit is for ONE person. Item description "Individual size for backpackers" 3) I don't know why others are having a problem with the copper coating being thin. I am a bit of a clean freak when it comes to my cookware and other items like that. I scrub the living **** out of the pot and pan every time I use them. I use a green scratch pad on the bottom of them to get all the black soot off. Its going on 3 years and I used this 100s of times and just now starting to rub the copper off the pot. I plan on buying a few more of these. Mostly to replace the one I am currently using, no I think I will use it until scrub a hole in it. I do want a 2nd kit mostly because I find myself wanting to cook using 2 pots or using 2 pans. My last camping trip I was cooking rice in the pot, freeze dried turkey in the pan with spices and stuff. I still needed another pot to cook beans. In the mornings I was used the pan to cook eggs but had two use my cast iron skillet to cook bacon and I had the pot in use with the freeze dried potatoes. Here is a helpful tip. There is a nonstick spray for grilling I have started to use to coat the outside of the pan and pot. It helps when scrubbing off the soot. Feb 2016 update. I posted a picture of the kit. I lost the pot and lid somewhere in my truck or it might of fell out of it. Still the best kit around.
