It's an interesting idea, but I'm just not a fan of collapsible containers. I had a few and found them hard to clean, and not all that easy to store (mine we round, square would have been better).After 5 years in the rig, I still like the Fagor nesting pots from Camping World and my silicone bakeware. I've been using the same silicone for years and really like it, both in the regular oven as well as the solar oven.I also like that I can smash it all together and tie it up with a rubber band and throw it anywhere it fits.As always, YMMV, but thanks for the link, it's an interesting idea.Katehttp://cholulared.blogspot.com http://www.cholulared.comWant to find us?

One thing I've noticed with some collapsible containers: they can actually take up MORE storage space when collapsed than a well-designed set of non-collapsible nesting containers of the same capacity. "Collapsible" doesn't necessarily mean "space-saving"--it can be the opposite. "I've been using the same silicone for years and really like it, both in the regular oven as well as the solar oven. I also like that I can smash it all together and tie it up with a rubber band and throw it anywhere it fits." Amen! I LOVE my silicone rubber bakeware, and use it all the time. It's easy to store, never rattles, easy to clean (heck, you can turn it inside out to clean it!), and food never sticks to it. Just make sure you have a cookie sheet under it--otherwise it can be hard to handle when full of food, due to its floppiness. The only time I don't bake with silicone rubber bakeware is when I make pies (I have yet to find a silicone pie pan, for some reason) and bread. For bread I have a 2-quart IKEA "Senior" fondue pot--enameled cast iron, but small enough that it doesn't weigh much--that I use with Kate's no-knead bread recipes. I preheat the oven to 450° F. with the pot in it, then dump the bread dough into the heated pot and put it back into the oven for about 45 minutes. The result is a superbly crusted round ("boule") loaf that's just the right size and shape for sandwiches.Here's the link to the pot:http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20131726> I threw away everything except the pot and lid, since I have no plans for a fondue party. ;-) Sounds wasteful, but if you've looked at the prices of enameled cast ironware lately, fifty bucks is dirt cheap--and this pot turns out the best loaf of bread I've ever made. :-)Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
