This is a Great Bowl

Rating:*****
When I bought this bowl I was looking for something that would fit inside my MSR StowAway pot and still leave room for a Titanium coffee mug. It fits the bill perfectly so I now have a great one person dining set exactly the way I want it. I'd thought about using a plastic food container but for the price I couldn't pass this up.

Great product!!

Rating:*****
MSR makes a great product, but one previous review gives a few less stars for the bowls being hard to separate when stacked. I have solved this problem by putting a small dent in the bottom of my bowls, but it is only necessary if you intend to carry several of them for others to enjoy... hope this helps, happy camping!!!

Great compliment to MSR plate

Rating:*****
This bowl compliments the MSR mountain plate to eat camping meals with. It is slightly heavier than the Snow Peak titanium bowl but still functional.

personal-sized

Rating:*****
For a personal meal, completely cooked, already in the bowl to eat. The metal has been good for kitchen uses.

Negative Reviews:

Don't stack when wet.

Rating:**
As another reviewer noted, the bowls are hard to separate when they are stacked. We are a family of four so I bought four bowls and keep them stacked to conserve space. When the bowls are dry, there is some effort to separate but not impossible. On our last camping trip I had washed the bowls and stacked them without drying as I didn't have a towel. Now two of the bowls are impossible to separate as the water created a vacuum seal between the two. I've tried using pliers but to no avail. I will be returning these and look for other brands.

Sturdy Bowl

Rating:***
If you have metal flatware then it can start to taste metalic, but no more than, say, eating out of a can. If the bowls are stacked, they can be challenging to pull apart. Overall, I really like them. They are sturdy and attractive, and a good size. Very light.
