MSR Alpine Utensil Set

Hiking & Camping > CookwearRated: ***** by 9 reviews.

Altrec

Most heat-resistant cooking utensils barely weigh a couple of ounces, but these unyielding kitchen tools consume extra backpack space. MSR's Alpine Utensil Set features hinged components that take up half the room and weight of conventional kitchen tools. When used properly, the durable folding design won't flip your souffle into the dirt, either. Additional holes in handles reduce overall weight.

Features:

  • Folding spatula
  • Folding spoon
  • Folding strainer
  • Holes in handles to minimize weight
  • Weight: 2.95 oz. (85 g.)

Useful on the trail & in the kitchen!

Rating:*****
This is a super trio of utensils to have. Not that you need them on every backpack trip you take--but they're a must for car camping. The spoon is great because it also doubles as a measuring cup. My favorite is the strainer--which is great for whipping up pasta on the trail!

Nice set

Rating:*****
In general I only use the spoon. But as a set its, well worth the price. One the nice features with the spoon, is that it has a flat edge at the front. Very handy for scraping out the last bit of food in the camping pot.

So compact and light

Rating:*****

Was debating if I really needed utensils but decided to go for it. These were a great pick because they are so light and compact, not to mention they saved the surface of the pot I was cooking in.

Bendable foldable twistable stuff

Rating:*****

Other than the spatula not having a bend in the neck, I have absolutely no complaints about these. I actually keep the strainer in my kitchen and use it regularly. 5+ years of use and no problems yet.

Folding utensils

Rating:****

These are pretty good. They fold up while using once in awhile, but not enough to make them useless. I like that the ladle has measuring incraments.

Spatula + Ladle = AWESOME, strainer = useless

Rating:****

the spat and the ladle are awesome. don't bother packing the strainer. what's it going to do for you that a pot lid can't, except add weight?

Negative Reviews:

melty cookware

Rating:*

I just purchased the spatula for a trip in moab. I usually just bring a bamboo spoon to cook with but forgot it on this trip. The spatula seemed like it would work well, but only if your planning to serve and not cook with it. The first pancake i flipped the plastic started to melt. I wasnt pleased with the fact that it was melting after the first use so I just tossed it. Would not recommend it unless you like plastic in your food.

not quite

Rating:***

these don't hold up quite as well as the jet boil ones. they like to fold up on you while you're trying to use them and the plastic is a bit too pliable in general to be as effective as they could be. for a few extra bucks i think the jet boil utensils are the way to go.
