It doesn't fit over the rest of the set so you have to mess a little to keep the entire set strapped together. As a pan it is fine, watch out for scratching from the items below when it is packaged up. But real complaint is it should fit over the rest of the nested set holding everything together like the old sets. Look in the Trangia handbook where it talks about the Trangia principle. The pictures show how an old set used to look like. Now days new cheaper technology in manufacturing etc. and the frypan just sort of floats on top if you have the complete set.
