Silicone rubber should survive a spirit flame, but not necessarily a wood flame. Trangia have a small mess tin and lid combo (doesn't seal). Is not great for cooking because the lid, being a simple over the edge design, draws in any fumes from incomplete combustion which can be noticable with wood or hexamine fuel.
I don't think I personally would use the SIGG as a mess kit unless it was my last resort. However, I am looking for a kit that combines all items, a decent cooking kit that also contains survival items. I do own the Trangia Mess Kit (small) you speak of. I will be playing around with that one next.
@MsSpy In survival mode it is your only resort, it is your cook/mess tin, you wont worry about the seals. The Trangia is a nice size, and light and wrapping around the lid with duct tape will protect the contents of an emergency only kit. Fits most of my coat pockets.
