    It is very handy. I always take it with me on trips to the forest. I usually use it on a solid fuel stove. A large jar of food fits inside it. No corrosion has appeared, and the handles are still sturdy. I usually use the lid as a plate. The biggest advantage is how easy it is to clean. Even after three years of use, there are no signs of any deformation. I definitely recommend it.

    Durable mess tin made of stainless steel, essential for camping – it works great both over a campfire and on a camping stove. Very good build quality. The set includes two pots and a lid, which can also be used as a frying pan – however, an additional handle for it would be useful. Everything is packed in a practical nylon pouch. The product is definitely worth recommending, and it comes from a reliable manufacturer.

    This is my first experience with this type of cookware and I am very satisfied! I waited over a year to have the opportunity to test them and I am truly delighted. The price is also excellent, I highly recommend it!

    An excellent set, like most things from Helikon. As always, it offers great quality. The capacity is perfectly matched. It works excellently in practice. A solid and durable product. I highly recommend it.

    Quality cooking pot of considerable size. Its main issue is the weight: avoid it if you want to travel light. However, once at the campsite, it's very sturdy, even directly on the fire.

    Very sturdy mess tin, I bought it together with a multitool and mug from Helikon. The product seems durable and well-made. I am very satisfied with the purchase and recommend this product.

    Practical three-piece set. Already tested multiple times in the field. The only flaw is that the smaller pot hits the larger one when folded. This is my first such set from Helikon and I was pleasantly surprised.

    The quality of the material is at a very good level, that's a big plus. The downside is the lack of a handle for the lid/pan – without it, it is difficult to use them. The pot handles are also peculiar and seem a bit unstable.

    Good quality product, though heavy, but the foldable option is a plus. The metal gives a good impression and seems like the set will last a long time. I'm a bit concerned about the handle, as it doesn't seem very secure.

    Steel set, three-piece mess tin – I haven’t had the chance to use it yet, but a friend recommended it, so I bought it. It is quite heavy, but after all, it is steel. I hope it will last a few seasons. I once used a lighter, aluminium version which was less durable. This set leaves a very solid impression.

    Great set for camping, survival trips, etc. Perfect for cooking and frying, hard to burn, easy to clean. I recommend it to everyone.

    Price matches quality. Very solid, capacious and relatively light. It’s best to use with a gas stove, because over a campfire they burn easily, which is visible after the first use. Despite this, I rate it 5 stars because the product met my expectations.

    Solid pots made from thicker sheet metal are great for everyday cooking on gas stoves. The handles are durable, made of thick wire. A purchase worth recommending, which will last a long time.

    I haven't tested it yet, but it seems solid. The metal is thick, so cooking should be comfortable. I was looking for stainless steel and at this price it's hard to find anything better than Helikon.

    Very nice set, though a bit heavy – but that's what I expected. For me, it's better for car trips; for carrying on my back I'd prefer something lighter. It gives a very solid impression.
