Ultra Compact Camping Cookware Kits for Hiking, Backpacking, and Survival Cooking.

This is an okay first timer camping cookset if you aren't planning to cook for a lot of people and want a cookset within budget. I used to use this with my two burner propane camping stove but now it's used on our Jetboil. It's a decent bang for my buck with how much comes with the set. Out of the box, one of the sporks fell apart from the handle rendering it useless. The sponge thing seemed to fall apart on its first use so just bring your own sponge. I don't use the ladle and probably never will because it doesn't lock. I haven't made really big meals with this but I've made stuff like canned soup, ramen, bacon, stuff like that. It can be hard to clean if something burns or you let it sit so I try to clean these out as soon as I'm done cooking. I really like the cups and the lids are really useful. I went off roading with a friend and the lids prevented my coffee from spilling out of the cup. Silicone is perfectly safe for heating and reheating so I'll be taking these on work trips so I can make more beverages in them. I like how the handles on the cookset are coated with plastic so I've never burned my hands handling the pan and pot. I also love the knobs on the lids which also prevent burning yourself. I haven't been able to get everything nested but most of the items in the set will nest, nothing clangs around when everything is together in the net. I do wish more utensils were included in this cookset to assist with cooking as the spatula and spork are limited. Product description wasn't really clear if the pot and pan has Teflon or PFOAs so that's something to keep in mind. The aluminum is really lightweight but I'll be looking for a stainless steel set from Snow Peak in the future but good starter set!

I’ve brought this on 2 backpacking trips so far and it’s worked perfectly. It takes up minimal space in the pack and very lightweight. I did end up finding that if you eat freeze dried food in the cookable pouches then all you really need out of this set is the pot to boil water and the sporks, so I only use that now. It’s really nice that way because it cuts some extra oz and I can fit my small propane stove inside.

I was really excited to receive this as I was pretty happy about how small and easy to store this would be. However, we were only able to use the pan once. It is NOT non-stick. Even with oil, we cooked scrambled eggs just once before the whole entire bottom was ruined. We tried to clean it up immediately and even let the pan soak overnight, but it is still caked in a layer of egg. The plastic ladle wouldn't stay in the correct position and would fold over every time I tried to stir something, making it completely useless. This product is good if you are needing to save on space, but I would be careful on what you are cooking in the pans. Also be aware of the size. They are good for about a one person meal.

Everything about this set was awesome. Good quality, and the cookware both stands up to and distributed high heat very well. We intend to keep this for as long as it lasts, then but another.There is a single shortcoming - the ladle. The sporks lock into place when they unfold, but the ladle does not. So, the arm will bend at the joint, making parking a little annoying at points. It doesn't spill (with food in it, the weight keeps it from bending); the best example is when I made chili. It was thick enough that getting the ladle into it was a bit of a hassle.It's still a 5 star set. I just hope the manufacturer considers modeling the ladle joint after the spork joint.

The cups and bowls are a bit small for anything other than back packing. Normal folks would eat nearly twice what those items will hold. However, the smaller size and light weight would be perfect for back packing.

Light weight

I actually didn't get to use this set due to our backpacking trip being cut short by a major wind/snow storm, but I wanted to leave a review because I love the quality of it and how light weight it is! I was so excited to use it but there's always next time.

its great..all campers are handy but meant for 2 person only. The quality is awesome
