Just add a stove or burner, and some food stuffs, and with the Hex Mess Kit, you\u2019ve got just about everything you need for a culinary adventure. In true Japanese minimalist fashion, they thought about what you need and what you don\u2019t, and fashioned it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hex Mess Kit components<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Hex Non-stick Frying Pan<\/strong> is made of hard-anodized aluminum and coated with a non-stick layer. Folding handles fold back on itself to take up no extra room while in storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not huge by any means, but there are dozens of meals that can easily be prepared in this pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clean up after cooking some eggs couldn\u2019t have been easier.\u00a0 I just literally wiped the sides of the pan with a paper towel and set it aside, ready for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wooden spatula<\/strong> is made of smooth Japanese cypress.\u00a0 Not only can you cut and serve with it, but you can also use it as a small cutting board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The prep box<\/strong> can be used for things you don\u2019t want to get squashed: like fresh vegetables, delicate noodles, or the burner unit for your stove.  Or, if you keep it in the car for those unexpected dining opportunities, you can do like I do and keep those fast-food salt and pepper packets, along with mayo, mustard and ketchup packets, in addition to the cup and utensils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior side of the box is marked with 100-500ml level markings in case you need a 16 oz. measuring cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collapsible cup<\/strong> is made from platinum-grade silicone rubber and polypropylene, which makes it easy to grip. It holds a full eight ounces, perfect for my small coffee press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its double heat insulated design keeps your coffee or tea hot and prevents hot liquids from burning your hands. The cup is collapsible, but also is extremely sturdy and durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detachable and extendable spork<\/strong> is made from nylon 6-6, (which prevents the non-stick layer of the frying pan from scratching and withstands high temperatures) and platinum-grade silicone rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Use it as a two-ended spork combo for cooking or separate the tools when it\u2019s time to eat, and use the two handles, one for the fork and one for the spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bowl<\/strong> is most generous in size.\u00a0 There\u2019s hardly a meal I can think of that wouldn\u2019t fit inside comfortably.\u00a0 BPA free, it\u2019s made of easy to clean polypropylene. You can also use the bowl as a cover for your pan, but not when the pan is on the heat source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three combination rubber and elastic bands wrap up everything when you are done and keep them organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
