The kit includs blue plastic funnel cake pitcher, 1 lbs funnel cake mix, metal funnel cake frying ring and cooking instructions. The set doesnt have the metal tongs. My friend got the set and used the tongs but the rest of the set is new and unused with box. We all have a set of tongs in out kitchens if not any discount store sells them and they dont cost much. Make mouthwatering funnel cakes just like the ones at the county fairs. As seen on tv. Box lid is slighty bent down on top from storage.
