240V KETTLE
This is one item where we bent ( broke ) the rules for sticking to our target of five silicone products . Spending most of our time off the grid , we have found ourselves in the occasional caravan park and having access to power . So we ended up getting a second pop-up silicone type of kettle , but one which works on 240V .
This version is a beauty for the two of us . The kettle ’ s collapsed size is only 95mm high and weighs just over 500 grams . Having something that size to store was never going to be a problem , and we keep it in its original box for ease of access .
It isn ’ t a large kettle but its 800ml capacity provides enough hot water for a morning cuppa or two . We also use it for filling our thermos for a cuppa later in the day .
The kettle features dry boil protection and automatically switches off when the water has boiled .

SUMMING UP
Our Companion pop-up silicone gear has now been with us for well over 12 months , and we ’ re pleased to say it is still part of our touring setup . The products we chose have easily met our initial criteria when looking to reduce weight , improve space , and can be used for more than one application .
Since making the swap to silicone , we ’ ve saved several kilos in weight alone . But unlike our previous cooking gear that I struggled to fit into one of our camper ’ s drawers , all our pop-up silicone gear now fits neatly with room left over to add other items .
We ’ ve also found the silicone cookware to be very practical and versatile , making it easy to use no matter where we are .
They say when you ’ re on a good thing to stick to it , and we don ’ t see us swapping out the Companion pop-up silicone cookware in our camper any time soon .
