foldable bowls and cups
I just spotted a rather interesting product on the TV which is completely new to me and I was wondering if anyone in here has come across it or used it.
It is a range of bowls, cups and plates which are made of foldable Polypropelene or some such modern product. Which fold flat when not in use
The brand name is Orikaso, has anyone tried them

Tiso sell them in their Edinburgh shop. Not sure about online (tiso.com), but you could give them a ring.

For those in North America, REI.com (and their brick-and-mortar stores) sells them also. $15 for the set.
I don't cook anything other than a spot of hot water for tea whilst on the road, so haven't used these myself.

In London
Decathlon in Surray Quays stocks something similar (I wasn't paying attention to the branding... was just folding and unfolding and turning upside down and right way up again )
Glad they last, I wasn't sure of the ones with poppers

Available from AS Adventure stores in Belgium. I got one from someone as a Christmas present and was a bit sceptical at first but actually they work very well.
