Detour Stainless Steel Cutlery Set

The Sea to Summit Detour Stainless Steel Cutlery Set is a proper knife, fork and spoon for the camp kitchen, made from 430 stainless steel and clipped together by a magnetic silicone keeper. Real cutlery with real weight in the hand, sized to live in a camp box, a van drawer or the lid of a cook kit.

Who it's for

Anyone who is tired of eating a campsite steak with a plastic spork. Pick the set by how many are eating:

• 3 Piece: one knife, one fork, one spoon and one keeper. The solo set. 135 g.
• 6 Piece: two of each piece and two keepers. The set for a couple. 270 g.

It suits the trips where the kitchen travels in a crate rather than on your back: a long weekend at a national park campground, a week of beach camping on K'gari, a road trip with the stove and the esky in the back. We stock it for campers who want to cook and eat properly without carrying the household drawer.

Materials and heat

The knife, fork and spoon are 430 stainless steel, with the silicone keeper making up the rest of the set. Steel does not stain, bend or pick up flavours the way plastic does, and it is happy stirring a hot pan or scraping the bottom of a pot. The handles have a matte finish that stays easy to grip with wet or greasy fingers, the spoon and fork ends are semi-polished so they feel smooth in the mouth, and the knife has a serrated edge that saws through bread, sausages and tough cuts.

Packing and nesting

The three pieces stack on top of each other and the magnetic keeper slides over the handles to lock them together. Nothing slips out of the bundle and nothing clatters in the drawer on corrugated roads.

• 3 Piece packs to 18.8 x 4.3 x 1.9 cm
• 6 Piece packs to 18.8 x 4.3 x 3.8 cm, as two bundles side by side

The Detour cutlery shares its look with the rest of the Detour stainless steel camp kitchen, so it sits comfortably alongside Detour pots and dinnerware.

Cleaning

Every piece, keeper included, goes in the dishwasher, so the whole set can come home from a trip and go straight into the wash. At camp, hot water and a scrubber are all it needs.
