Wonderful World Of Collapsibles

I have been boiling water in my small camping pot in order to make coffee. I thought of getting a jetboil like Jenn's but decided I wanted a tea kettle instead. I wasn't really happy with the camping tea kettles because they take up too much room. Then I stumbled on these and thought I would share:

Here is the link on Amazon:

While I was at it I decided to replace the hospital basin I was using to wash dishes with the collapsible wash pan I also found on Amazon:

All of these fit nicely in the storage bins. I know others have other collapsible kitchenware. I will have to think about getting some of those items as well.

Progressive makes the collapsible dishpan you have. They make a lot of collapsible items. Here is their website. They have a link on where to buy their items.

Progressive

I have quite a few of their products, including 2 of the dishpans. Although their things can be a bit pricey, they are well made, last a long time & are exactly what I need/want.

The local Shopko sells them & I wait until they have a 50% off sale, which makes it a great deal.

Tina & I have a friendly competition about what we can come up with next on kitchen items...it's been fun!

:cool:
 
Joan now I have to rethink my electric tea kettle and french press. The kettle does take up a lot of space and using a filter for coffee could be easier for clean up than the french press. Neat product thanks
 
Jenn I just looked on amazon and they have another like the one Joan posted but the handle tucks in neatly. they are in several different colors and the orange is only $21.
 
Love the teapot! Here is some more info on it....

-A stylish, modern take on the Classic Stovetop Tea Kettle
Collapses to under 2.5 inches
-Perfect for campers, hikers, RV owners, and anyone who wants to limit Kitchen Clutter
-Made with a sturdy Silicone Body and Stainless Steel Base
-Boils up to 4 cups of water with style

Bit pricey at $39 but free shipping from Amazon
Would be something to put on a christmas list....hint, hint...
thanks for sharing Joan!
 
Joan,

Thanks for the tip about the tea kettle. I also liked the orange one with the handle that tucks. I have the collapsable gray dish pan. Stores great! Several years ago I got some collapsable bowls, collander, etc. from QVC. They also store very nicely. Every once in a while I check back to QVC's online store for more similar items. Looks like I'll have to investigate Betsey's suggestion of Progressive.
 
My orange pot: $21 came today.

I tried it at home. It pops up and down nicely. The handle is more secure than I thought it would be and it stayed cool. The water heated quickly and I left it sitting on the gas stove with the burner off and came back an hour or so latter and the water was still quite warm. Holds 4 cups.
 
Jenn I had the pics on my iPad and used an app called Photogene. It is a neat app. You select your pics and then collage and it does all the work.
It also has a method for putting labels on your pics and probably more functions but I am just learning how to use it.
 
Pat,

Thanks for the pictures. I was wondering about the handle on the orange pot. My color scheme for my kitchen is red so even if I had seen the orange pot, I still would have gotten the red one for purely ascetic reasons.

Did you have any issues with the Camp-Inn stove having too large or too hot of a flame for the tea kettle?
 
I have that same kettle. If one were to put the burner at max, yes it wouldn’t be good. I just check the flame, that it just hits the metal, and nowhere near the silicone/red part.

As skissinger mentions, keeping the flame on the burner so that it doesn’t go above the metal, the teapot works great and is easy to store. I had the kettle for over 10 years.
