foldable bowls and cups

[electric_monk]

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

I just finished a two and a half month trip and used these dishes 3 times a day every day and they still look like new. they are a big space saver .

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.

I picked up a set at Mountain Equipment Co-op. They're great! If you're in Canada try: www.mec.ca

The said dishware is outstanding. Folds flat, easy to clean and will hold up for a while. Lighter, more compact than the usual aluminum, stainless or Ti stuff out there. Some sites for the U.S. below.

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.
