When I was touring this summer with Adventure Cycling, part of the group gear was three plastic dishpans we used for washing dishes. At first they seemed like a nuisance, but when I volunteered to carry them, the utility became obvious. I carried them, neatly nested, face up on my front rack, held on by a cargo net. That space ended up being useful for carrying things that needed not to be squashed, like a loaf of bread, an apple pie or two bags of local cherries. And then around the edges I could shove extra clothes that I took off during the day or other things I wanted handy.
So I had my matching Ortlieb handlebar bag and panniers, and then dishpans. I may carry a dishpan next time I tour. It was very useful both on the road and in camp.
