Stanley Wildfare Pro Stainless Steel Bowl | 16 oz Stackable Bowl | Packable Outdoor Dishware | Camping Essentials for Your Camp Kitchen | BPA-Free | Pale Pebble & Stone

This Stanley Wildfare steel bowl is a pretty good campware accessory. I like that it's lightweight and dishwasher safe. I was a bit surprised to see its size; I hadn't really focused on its dimensions on the Amazon webpage, and it was smaller than I'd expected. No problem, and it can be an asset if you're backpacking.The bowl has a nice appearance; the off-white pebble finish is quite attractive, if having a nice looking camping bowl is important to you. The website says you can 'elevate your culinary experience' with it, but that's pretty much the furthest thing from my mind when I'm preparing food while camping. I don't dress up for dinner then, either; you may have different preferences.The bowl's capacity is 500ml (about two cups), which is enough for a lot of purposes. My first thought was as a travel dog water bowl, but I don't think that's what they have in mind. It could be used for cereal, etc., but I always prefer a bigger bowl for soup and such. Anyway, it's well made and should work nicely during travel.The only issue I have with this Stanley bowl is its price point; at twelve bucks, you can get a range of pretty nice campware, and bowls aren't exactly high tech items. (This doesn't apply when you go into some outdoor stores, where a pair of shoelaces is apt to run into triple figures.) I think you'd do better just buying a small steel bowl for less money. Still, it's a pretty good bowl, and for me, it's apt to be limited to backpacking or other situations where space is at a premium. Or, maybe as a dog bowl. We'll see.

This is really poor quality with the enamel chipping off before it was even out of the package. I know Stanley is a popular brand now and I own quite a few Stanley camping implements but the new stuff coming out is just so cheap. I don't recommend.

Essentially, it is a stainless steel bowl with a textured colored finish on the outside. It has no lid and is not intended to store and move food--it is to provide a dish for a hearty helping. It is easy to clean and resistant to damage. I know the Amazon page makes a reference to cooking, but you don't want to cook in this bowl--it has no handle, and fire/heat would damage the external finish. Just accept it as a fine bowl great for outdoor use. Recommended--

Note, this is a small bowl (16oz), like a dog bowl. But that being said, its nice quality bowl, best used for ice cream, fruits, or even soups because of the stanley features. The bowl is not so weight so I can see how this would be good for camping usage but we use it at home for Ice cream. $12 for a bowl, keep this in mind.
