Love the Spat

Rating:*****

I don't know about the other items listed because I haven't bought them yet (but I plan to). The spatula is great. It is so light weight but is amazingly durable. I wanted a lightweight spatula for backpacking but was concerned that I would have carried the thing just to have it break the first time I used it. When I got it in my hands I was impressed. It will do anything you need a spatula to do in the backcountry. Very well designed and built. Fits in my GSI hard anodized cook set.

Backcountry Kitchen

Rating:*****

I picked up all three of these and they worked like a charm. They feel very durable, although I worried about the strainer breaking but no problems yet. They lock in a folding position as well as in the usable position....except the strainer. Easy to store and very easy to clean. They didn't even melt when I had them right against red-hot titanium. Really, they're a descent set of utensils for a rough kitchen.

Unexpected value

Rating:*****

Good tool, as mention in other reviews, it's very handly to turn eggs (thin flat part). I used it frequently at home when my regular one is dirty. Because I dont use plastic ustensils this prevent me from scratching my t-fal cookware. Don't get the whole set as the big spoon is useless and the use strainer may be somehow hazardous.

It's Pancake Time

Rating:*****

We made some hefty pancakes with this on more than one occasion. It holds up great to high heats, cleans fast, protects nonstick cookware, and feels very reliable and strong. It is light and low profile so the weight conscious but luxury minded camper can enjoy themselves by having faith in their cook gear.

Good for Cooking Eggs

Rating:****

I never would have purchased this but got it as a gift. I laughed it off but it's a real part of my backpacking kitchen and works like a charm. Sturdy and functional. And for a couple bucks, hey, why not?

Feels Sturdy!

Rating:*****

Nice little spatula to add to your kitchen set. Super light and feels strong. Good for making eggs and pancakes and you can't really beat the price for something this nifty. The whole set is really useful!

"Absolutely amazing."

Rating:*****
These things are amazing, they are lightweight, foldable and compact, don't scratch nonstick containers and they can fit inside my msr cooking set. Definitely a wonderful addition to your camping gear.

"can't go wrong with these in your camp kitchen"

Rating:*****
these utensils are excellent! I love the compact size & they do not scratch the surface of my new pots. They sure beat my grandmother's slotted spoon & old spatula
Mary at Moosejaw on 06/26/2007

Small and light

Rating:****

Haven't got the chance to use this yet, but it looks like it will work good. Extremely light and perfect size to pack with. Also looks surprisingly durable.

MSR spatula

Rating:*****

This product is great! It fits right into my MSR cook gear. Great for turning bacon, sausage and cooking eggs, scrambled or over easy. I love it.

Negative Reviews:

"Flimsy, and won't store in some MSR cooking pots."

Rating:**
Not really impressed...first, you'd think they would fit in a MSR cooking set, but even folded they don't fit into the Duralite Cooking set no matter how you cram them. The plastic could be a little more hardy...they seem really flimsy. They are lightweight though...just know you'll have to store them somewhere besides the pots, if you went with MSR.

Neutral Reviews:

"Used 'em, liked 'em."

Rating:***
These are for food products that you make when you are camping which is exactly what we used them for. The only bummer was that the clicking mechanism that kept the spatula in the open-locked position broke and so it was rendered virtually useless as a spatula. Henceforth, we used it as a pointer. You know, "Go git that there yonder thing...." It worked really well for that too. So overall, it is a multipurpose sort of thing, if you are creative enough to come up with something else to use it for when it breaks.

Melted on first use

Rating:***

The first time I used the spatula to make pancakes in the BWCAW the front edge quickly melted. I was using it over a stove, so maybe the pan was hotter than expected. I was disappointed.

"flimsy"

Rating:***
they seem fine but a little on the flimsy side. they may not last a long time but they are inexpensive. you get what you pay for.
