The ComplEATS set designed by Gerber is specifically crafted for convenient outdoor use -- it is a cutlery set that features functional components for eating and cooking. The ComplEATS features tools that can open items, cook, serve, eat, and clean up. Notably, the set is small enough to fit into a pocket to make matters even more convenient with its compact and portable elements.

There are four different parts to the set and it is connected together to make it easy to bring around and prevents losing the separate items. It features a dual-sided spatula, a fork, spoon, and a kitchen-preparation tool for multiple purposes. The spatula is constructed from glass-filled nylon materials with a silicone edge to be resistant to heat and sturdy. The spoon and fork are made from aluminum and the ComplEATS multifunctional took can open cans, bottles, and peel vegetables.
