Product Description
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.

2 out of 5 stars Wish they didn't fold   August 4, 2008

These seem gimmicky to me. They're more expensive and less durable than what I replaced them with... a small wooden spatula. I love MSR's gear... just not this particular piece.


5 out of 5 stars Great Utensils by MSR   July 27, 2008
They fold up small, in half, & fold open to a normal size spatula, spoon & strainer that fit perfectly with our backpacking pots/pans. When you open them all the way flat they lock into the open position so they are not floppy but very sturdy when using. To fold back up just press the release tab. Great design.
Very easy to clean, light weight & fit into the pack with ease. We will be using these for many trips to come. Very happy with our purchase. Wish it would have had a mesh storage bag with it. Easy fix, we'll just buy one.



2 out of 5 stars Disappointed   February 22, 2008
Not up to MSR standards, the latching tab broke on the spoon the first time I folded it. The utensils are very flimsy and will not stand up to camp use. Would have been better if they didn't fold.


4 out of 5 stars Decent buy   February 21, 2008
This utensil set, when folded up, will easily fit inside stackable pot/pan camping units (tested with MSR gourmet 3-piece set) with room to spare.

The spatula and ladle locks in the open position at the base. Pressing the small knob unlocks it, allowing them to fold up tightly. The strainer does not, however, and does not fold up tightly on its own.

Is it worth $10+? Probably not, especially since I don't plan on using the strainer out on the trail, but I'm ok with the purchase.



5 out of 5 stars Chef's delight   November 25, 2007
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I just started some longer hiking/camping expeditions this past summer. I sat down with my pack and equipment to decide what went and what stayed. As a chef, I hated to omit the slightly more gourmet items in my bag but my cooking utensils were too long and awkwardly shaped to be convenient. The MSR utensil set nicely solved that issue. I love these things! They are VERY compact and weigh almost nothing. The locking mechanism works perfectly. The straining utensil does not lock unfortunately but I have not found this to be a problem. Also I would be curious to know how much abuse the thin material at the bend can take before it breaks but so far it hasn't. The ladle also has measuring lines inside which have come in handy!
