Backpacker- Kelty Kitchen Sink
November 1, 2009

Not everyone has to be a chef. But if you're the type who kicks back with a cold one while your buddies slice and dice, you'd better at least step up and do the damn dishes. The Kitchen Sink- a watertight polyester basin that's seven inches deep and 15 inches square- makes slacker duty simple. Just fill it with soapy water and start scrubbing. Two carrying handles let you move it while full; side pockets hold soap, sponges, and utensils; and smart foldout drying racks let you vertically stack some plates to drip dry. Bonus: Use it to store your plates and utensils between trips. $60; 1 lb. 9 oz.; kelty.com.
