{"product_id":"rothco-gi-stainless-steel-mess-kit","title":"Rothco GI Type Stainless Steel Mess Kit","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco GI Type Stainless Steel Mess Kit is a two-piece compact cookware set (a combination fry pan and two-compartment plate) built from heavy-duty stainless steel for camping, survival situations, and outdoor adventures. At under one pound and measuring 8\" x 6.75\" x 2.25\", the kit is sized to slip into a backpack or rucksack without taking up meaningful space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Cookware That Travels With You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Stainless Steel Mess Kit pairs a fry pan with a two-compartment plate in a single compact footprint. Because both pieces nest together within an 8\" x 6.75\" x 2.25\" envelope, the kit fits into a standard pack pocket rather than claiming its own dedicated pouch. That matters on multi-day trips where every cubic inch of pack space is spoken for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mess kit is made from heavy-duty stainless steel throughout. Stainless steel resists corrosion and holds up to repeated direct-heat cooking without warping or degrading the way thinner aluminum cookware can. The material also cleans easily in the field, which matters when you are working with limited water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReady for Camping, Survival, and Outdoor Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-compartment plate keeps food separated without requiring a second piece of cookware, and the fry pan handles basic cooking tasks over a camp stove or open flame. The combination makes the kit practical for a wide range of outdoor scenarios: weekend camping trips, longer backcountry excursions, and survival kit build-outs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombination fry pan and plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e two pieces cover cooking and eating without additional cookware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-compartment plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps food separated in a single piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty stainless steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e corrosion-resistant material rated for repeated outdoor use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\" x 6.75\" x 2.25\" fits standard pack pockets and rucksacks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight build:\u003c\/strong\u003e under one pound total weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8\" x 6.75\" x 2.25\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.95 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePieces included\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFry pan, two-compartment plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRothco\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rothco Stainless Steel Mess Kit suits campers, backpackers, outdoorsmen, and anyone building out a survival or bug-out kit who needs a compact, durable cooking-and-eating solution that fits inside a standard pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis kit does not include utensils, a cup, or a lid.
