Using this UCO Mess Kit is a breeze. First, unpack it from your backpack. You can place it on any flat surface, and the rubberized grips will keep it steady. Fill the bowl with your food and use the 3 - in - 1 Utility Spork to enjoy your meal. When you're done, wash the kit with mild soap and water. Let it dry completely before packing it away. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the rubberized grips. Keep it in a dry place to maintain its durability for your next adventure or work week lunch.
