Alpine Kitchen Set

Food preparation and post meal cleanup are our next subjects. The Alpine Kitchen Set is a multi-item set that includes almost everything you will need when it comes to meal preparation and post meal cleanup in one sealable plastic organizer container.

Many hikers forget certain things that would make their lives a little easier when it come to preparing their meals, things such as a cutting board, spices and condiments. It's not that they don't wish to bring them onto the trail, most of the time we forget the little comforts. MSR's Alpine Kitchen Set includes a few things that will help us from forgetting these comfort items. The Alpine kitchen set includes 2 three ounce plastic bottles, 1 two once plastic bottle and 4 three quarter ounce plastic bottles, a quarter ounce and one ounce squeeze bottles and a salt & pepper shaker. The set also includes a round plastic cutting board, which keeps us from using some of our cookwear for this task. The container itself can be used as a mixing or serving bowl.

The Alpine folding utensils that are included with the set are the finest collapsible utensils I have seen. The folding spoon is shaped so that you can scrape out every bit of food from the pot. The strainer is one of those items that could otherwise, have easily been forgotten and wished for and the spatula is strong enough to handle just about anything you would cook on the trail. These items are all made of plastic, so you will not have to worry about scratching your non-stick cookwear. These items all fold and fit into the organizer container.

Forget using dirt, sand or pebbles in your cookwear to help cleanup, this set also includes a mini scrub pad and reusable towels for drying, making cleanup a snap. A zippered pouch is included that will hold your squeeze bottles, cutting board, sponge, towels and salt and pepper shaker helping to keep your items organized inside of the container.

The Alpine Kitchen Set will nest nicely inside of the above-mentioned Blacklite cookset. These two items in conjunction with the DragonFly stove are all a dedicated trail walker will need for their cooking needs.
