Orikaso Fold Flat Dishes and Cups

We've mentioned titanium camping gear for cooking here a few times. While the benefits of titanium will never go unnoticed, I've recently discovered a new product that's both fun to use, and exceptionally light and compact. It's made by Orikaso, and it's a line of fold flat dishes. They offer a simple and efficient line-up of bowls, dishes and cups; all able to fold completely flat, down to mere millimeters in size when not in use.

Simply unpack the Orikaso dish from your bag, click the appropriate snaps together and serve. All the dishes assemble in seconds, and breakdown back to their flat shape even faster. Clean-up is a snap; unfold the dishes and rinse them off with clean water. Manufactured from polypropylene makes the fold flat dishes a naturally non-stick material, and thus easy to clean-up.

Orikaso are completely water proof when folded into their proper shape; they will hold any liquid. All of the dishes are capable of holding liquids sustaining temperatures of over 120 C (248 F). The heaviest of the three products, the Orikaso Dish, weighs only 1.5 ounces; lighter than any similar titanium product. Overall an innovative product that deserves a place in any packers' line-up.

Check out Orikaso.com for more information.

Available individually at REI for $3-$6.
A "picnic set" of 2 cups, 2 bowls and 2 dishes for $24.99 is available at Amazon.com.
