The Collaps range uses a sophisticated siliconised rubber material that allows its serving bowls, washing bowl and colanders to fold flat for easy storage.
Very nice, love the colours. I've picked up folding colanders and bowls from the supermarket before, they were a bit cheaper, but they didn't have a full range which can be a pain if you like things to match.

The pen is mightier than the sword - but only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp...
I have been using a collapsable colander and bowl from Lidl's for the past 3 years, and they were a lot cheaper than the Outwell ones!!

I'm not sure my camp kitchen could be described as stylish but I bought the Outwell colander and small bowl a few weeks back, only been used once so far but they are really good quality.
The washing up bowl looked fab too, but a bit expensive I thought.
Found exactly the same colander in Homesense and it cost me £4.99, folds completely flat. You might also find it in TKMax as Homesense sells the same homeware as TKMax just more of it.

Have you got these? Have you seen them? Would you use them?
i think they're a great idea if you can afford to spend the money on them...i'm all for trying to save a little space whilst packing for a trip, but unless i found these in a sale i'd have to try and source a cheaper option elsewhere...i simply couldn't justify the cost as it stands right now...
Muckerette picked up the kettle, in the garish green, from the NEC. Not used it yet. We tend to shove all the mashing gear in our washing up bowl, for transporting to site, then in to a laundry mesh bag thing* to keep it all together. Leave the lot easily accesible, so once the tent is up, and we have the cooker set up, it's cuppa time, without ferking around. The theory is, this kettle will fit easier into the washing up bowl, alongside two mugs and tea bags etc, as our current kettle is a full size jobby.
I'm sure the fit will be great... just need to find out if silicon coffee tastes ok!!
*The laundry mesh bag(s) gets used for carrying our newly washed pots back to the tent... and then gets hung up on a pole for the pots to dry!
I've already got a collander, washing up bowl, funnel and kettle in the van and have just bought a bucket, though this has yet to be used in anger.
They are not all Outwell but they all work remarkably well. Their main advantage is that they take up so little space in the van, leaving more room for the booze, plus they don't rattle, though the booze does.
I did eventually buy a kettle last year, but only because it was on offer in Halfords. It isn't as big as our other kettle, and you have to make sure you don't fill it above the metal onto the silicon as you get a horrid taste. Other than that it is a great little kettle. It is good for a quick weekend away, or if you are going on a day trip and want to be able to make a brew.
I saw the new red colour in Cotswold Outdoors the other day, and have to say it is much better than the florescent green.
I HAVE THE WASHING UP BOWL AND IT IS FAB, I USE IT AT HOME AS WELL AS ITS FITS PERFECTLY UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK AND DOSNT TAKE UP TO MUCH SPACE, WOULD LOVE TO ADD TO THE COLLECTION
