The classic American army "Meat Can" served from the First World War to at least the '80s. It's a refreshing alternative to the Germanic kidney shaped mess kits. Made of stainless steel! New production.
The American take on soldier's field kitchen is a bit different from the European approach: a two-piece, quite flat frying pan shaped thing, which is quite easy to eat out of and heats up the contents quickly thanks to the wide bottom. Although you can't hang this over a fire, it's very efficient with a field stove and excellent for frying. As a bonus, it packs quite small thanks to the compact, sleek form.
The stainless steel construction means this will not easily melt, will not rust, and will absolutely not release micro metals if you're worried about those things. You can even put it directly in the campfire if you find a suitably flat spot.
Weight about 190 grams (6.7 oz.). Outside dimensions about 22 x 17,5 x 5,5 cm (8.6" x 6.9" x 2.2").

This style of mess tins clean up nicely. They are ideal for Scouts, Girl Guides and anyone else who'll be going through a meal line (my kids are Scouts and have these; very old-school!). If these are stainless steel as advertised, they will be far more durable than E-Bay aluminum Scout sets. That said, for field cooking and meal warming I prefer my Dutch or Swedish mess tins; the US style are too shallow to heat boil-in-bag meals effectively.

Ruokaa en monesti ole tällä tehnyt, joskus kaasukeitimen päällä lähinnä paistanut tai lämmittänyt jähtymään kerinnyttä ateriaa. Retkeillessä yleensä kuljetan mukana joko tsekkiläistä pyöreää pakkia kaasukeittimen kanssa tai Trangiaa. Tähän täsmennyksenä, että retkeily tapahtuu enimmäkseen kajakilla eli gramman viilailuun ei ole tarvetta.
