MSR Alpine Nesting Bowl

The MSR nesting bowl was a great multi-use item on a recent 4 day trip in the Norwegian mountains. As the description says; it is rugged. I crammed it into my pack, and it withstood all the abuse it suffered. I used as a drinking bowl, for drinking water from the lake, and the occasional lemonade. I used it to fry mushrooms and unions over the fire, and to cook rice in while the soup was boiling in my main pot. And I used it as a bowl for eating my meals. All in all a great multi use product, but I could as well have bought an 1L aluminium pot from trangia - about the same weight, but more volume, for the same price. There is a special feel to Stainless steel, though, more pleasant to eat from in a way. I cannot attest to the nesting abilities, but I see no reason for MSR to mess that up.
