Stansport Stainless Steel Camping Cookware Set – Durable Nesting Mess Kit for Backpacking, Hiking & Outdoor Cooking – Compact Portable Pot & Pan with Carry Bag – Multiple Sizes for Family to Solo Use

Wow! The other reviewers are correct. These pots are GREAT quality even at twice the price. They compare favorably to my Cuisinart set. The stainless steel is thick and these pots will last many years. They are nicely cladded at the bottoms and distribute heat evenly. To save some room in my crowded cabinet, I may just retire my bulky pots with their own unruly handles and just use this nesting set for everyday use. The grooves in the universal lid fit the 1, 2 & 3 quart pots whereas the pan makes a nice dome lid for the 4 quart pot. Note, when used as a lid for the 4 quart pot, either attach the handle to the pan BEFORE you turn on the stove or else use oven mitts to remove the handle-less pan. It is nearly impossible to attach the handle when the pan is upside down. That brings me to my next point. The single removable handle is somewhat difficult to use but well-made. To put on the handle, keep it vertically and deftly hook the J shaped hook to the side connector of the pot. Then, carefully so as not to wiggle the J hook out of the side connector, press the button of the handle upward and slowly rotate the handle 90 degrees. If connected properly (you'll hear/feel a click), the handle is quite strong and can handle the weight of a full 3 quart pot with minimal flex. For my first try with a 2-burner camping stove, I attached the handle to the frying pan and used the 1 quart pot (without a handle) to boil water at the same time. When the water boiled, it was challenging to disengage the handle from the pan (pull the nob toward you and rotate the handle 90 degrees upward and attach it to the boiling pot since both pans and pots were hot and I could not clutch either to simplify the task. I ended up using a Trangia brand pot gripper which quickly clamps to the rolled edge of the pot to without needing to hook anything to the connector. Given this experience, I do recommend you get at least 1 pot gripper to quickly grab a pot since unclipping the Stansport handle may prove to be difficult when the pots & pans are hot. So, here's my strategy in using these pots when using a 2 burner camping stove. Always put on the pot handle on the heaviest pot to be used (in my case the pan) and keep it on for the duration of the cooking. Then, have the pot gripper on stand-by for the smaller pot so I can quickly use it to clamp the pot and lift it. The Trangia pot gripper did just as fine of a job as the included Stansport handle in safely & securely lifting the pots. Rather than foregoing this excellent set of pots due to the somewhat challenging handle, either buy 1 or two pot grippers (depending on how much you dislike the included handle) and you will have a very nice set of cookware for around 70 or less. Even at that price, it's still an awesome deal. (For those who wants to be frugal, the Open Country pot grippers are a bit more affordable at almost half the price of the Trangia.) Lastly, when I was researching this set, I wondered why I would need so many different size pots. One reviewer mentioned using some of the pots as mixing bowls. What an excellent idea for a nesting set that would not take up any more room with 1 or 3 pots! In addition, you can also use the larger pots, the 3 & 4 quart ones as as makeshift sinks for washing dishes or scrap bowls for garbage. Now, the number of pots in the set is just perfect for multi-use! I LOVE this set and recommend for everyone whether you use it for camping or daily use!

Recently used this on a multi-day camping trip. As many have said, the pans are high quality and stack nicely. I was able to conserve a lot of space by replacing multiple pots and pans with this tight, compact, neat set. This made a big difference since we were in a small car carrying a lot of stuff. There is no latch to keep the lid on during transport, so if you want them to stay together securely, you may have to use a bungee or similar means. I carried them in a square sports tote where more stuff was sitting on top and around them and did not have any issues. Used the Frying pan to fry steak and chops smothered with onions, bell peppers, Dale's seasoning, Worcestershire, and teriyaki sauce. My Coleman stove has very poor flame control and cooks pretty much on high, super high and flame thrower power. As a result the sauces burned on the pan and left stains. I expected this, have done it to all my other pans and don't fault this pan. Guess its time to shop for a new stove! The pots worked perfect for beans, corn and similar foods. I used all of them and they are well made and a pleasure to use. And of course the big complaint. Only one handle. It is very painful to swap the handle out in a hurry since you have to bend it almost vertical to get it out. If you just set one pot/pan off and are in a hurry to get another pot off it is not ideal. I wish the seller would add a second handle and just increase the price by a reasonable amount. You can now buy an additional handle from the Stansport, made to fit this set, by calling them at (eight hundred, four two one, six one three one) or visiting their web site at http://www.stansport.com/index.php/r-0002.html. At this writing the cost is fourteen ninety nine and shipping is not free unless you spend fifty. I have seen many reviews that say you can find suitable handles easily, online and at big box stores. I have NOT found this to be the case. All of the "fit all" handles I have located online are poorly made and have bad reviews. The big box stores including sporting goods stores in my area have nothing in the camping sections or elsewhere. The expensive hiking and camping specialty stores have replacement handles that work on a pliers pinching principal but are not very well reviewed either. Have not decided whether to pay the high replacement cost or keep looking. If I find a suitable alternative, will update this review. Overall I am happy with the set and would buy them again.

Nice heavy bottom that I confirmed works with the induction cooktop in our RV. Quality overall seems excellent and the nesting feature is fantastic!

Love the sizes, good steel bottom, finishes without scraches after 3 summers of use. Only trouble are the screws in the handle. They become loose once in a while so you have to check and fastan them regulary.

Exactly what I wanted to go camping ⛺️ looked everywhere to find something suitable to my needs this item was perfect.

De buena calidad y estaban a un super precio, buenísimas.

Excellent for camping.
