【Q&A】
Q. Is it possible to use over an open fire (direct flame)?A. As stated in the guidebook, it is possible to use over a campfire. However, conditions such as high heat, cooking without oil, or preparing foods with little moisture that lead to near dry-burning can cause the coating to deteriorate by exceeding the heat resistance temperature.While heat resistance and durability have been improved, since fire strength cannot be adjusted when using a campfire, please exercise caution.*Note: If deliberate damage occurs due to misuse over a fire, warranty coverage may be voided.**For longer-lasting performance, we recommend using solid fuel, alcohol stoves, or gas cans.*
Q. Can I immediately immerse or wash the product after heating?A. No abnormalities were observed in tests conducted by testing agencies, but to preserve the non-stick coating, it is recommended to wait until the product cools before immersing in or washing with water.*Note: In JIS standard "thermal shock tests," repeatedly immersing the product in water immediately after heating to 200°C showed no abnormalities.*Test procedure: Place the sample on a gas stove, heat without contents at a firepower that does not overflow from the bottom, until the internal bottom center reaches 200°C, then immerse in tap water for 1 minute. Repeat this 10 times, then check visually and by touch for any looseness or peeling.
Q. Is it okay to use metal utensils or tools?A. Durability against abrasion has been confirmed through testing, but to maintain the non-stick coating, it is recommended to use soft utensils made of resin, silicone, or plastic.*Note: While resistance to lateral contact (scraping against other metal) is high, vertical contact (metal hitting metal) can cause peeling or damage, so please be careful.*In JIS standard "coating wear resistance tests," no exposure of the base material was observed after testing.Test procedure: Place the sample in a wear tester, slide a stainless steel plate back and forth at about 40 times per minute over approximately 50 mm for 3,000 cycles, then visually inspect for damage or exposure of the aluminum base.
Q. Is it safe to perform dry heating (empty heating) with the mess tin?A. Self-conducted tests showed no abnormalities after heating at around 350°C for 10 minutes in an empty state. However, prolonged dry heating may exceed the heat resistance temperature, so it should be avoided.*Note: During smoking, be careful not to let the temperature rise too high. Typical smoking temperature: 50–120°C.*
Q. Why is the heat resistance temperature lower compared to other companies’ silicon or silicone resin-coated mess tins?A. Based on tests by external agencies and our own evaluations, the temperature at which no impact on the non-stick coating (appearance, sticking, etc.) was observed was set at 350°C.*Note: Under normal cooking methods (baking, boiling, frying, smoking, etc.) as per original recipes, exceeding 350°C is unlikely unless performing special prolonged dry heating.*
Q. Is it compatible with IH cooking heaters or microwave ovens?A. No, it is not compatible.
Q. Is the non-stick coating on the ThiOuThe LIFE Mess Tin 2.0 applied to other companies’ mess tins?A. No, the non-stick coating is applied only to the original ThiOuThe LIFE mess tin, not to other brands’ products.
Q. Is the lid also coated with non-stick?A. Yes, the entire lid (inside and outside) is coated with non-stick.
Q. Will the non-stick coating on the underside of the lid get scratched when opening and closing?A. Durability has been confirmed through testing, but repeated opening and closing may cause scratches on the corners of the lid that contact the main body.*Note: This is not a defect; it is due to the coating process.**The silicon and silicone resins used in the coating meet food hygiene standards. Even if ingested accidentally, they are not absorbed by the body and will pass through and be excreted.*
