Indispensible in My Camp Kitchen Sep 20, 2008
By F. M. Pepoon
I hesitated to buy this cookset because of the price - I usually just use old pots and pans for camping. However, I needed a set of pots and decided to buy this based on the size of the pots and their portability. The set is now indispensible when I camp. I use the pots on my Coleman portable stove, and they are the perfect fit. I've cooked everything from rice to stew in them, and they perform very well. They heat evenly and quickly, and I have never had a problem cleaning them, even with biodegradable dish soap. The clamp-on handle took a few tries to get used to, but I find I like it much better than if a metal handle had been welded or riveted on - because it is not integrated into the pot, it never gets hot, so no potholders are needed. The lid fits both pots well, and the kit fits neatly into the pouch and takes up little room in my gear container. These are a must-have for me now, I won't camp without them.

Fantastic cookset! Jul 13, 2006
By jharterman
This set is awesome! It packs small and light for stainless steel, and it is well constructed and durable. The pots are bigger than you'd expect. We can cook noodles in one and sauce in the other for our family of four. I also recommend the MSR bowls and plates that nest with the set. The included carry bag is also nice.

Nice little cook set, perfect for a couple Jul 02, 2011
By Rochelle Bayne

We asked for and received this for a wedding gift, and we've used it several times on camping trips since. The pots are quite light weight, and small enough to take back-packing, but also large enough to heat a decent amount of water for cooking, cleanup, or drinking. The pot grabber tool is great as well, because we don't have to worry about handles flopping around when precariously balanced on a backpacking cook stove. We can also make plenty of food in one of these for us both. I don't have anything bad to say about it. I'm kind of sad to see it's not available any more, as I would recommend it to others who need a versatile cooking set.
Worth the weight Oct 18, 2010
By CBaker
Cons: Not as light as aluminum, no lashing provided, about a quarter inch too short for my very specific needs
Pros: Stainless steel is a breeze to clean, even on the trail
Details:
I took this kit on a 3 day hiking / backpacking trip. I'm so glad I went with this over an aluminum kit, the ease of cleanup was well worth the extra weight. I stored my old white gas stove inside of it, but it was about a quarter inch too short to fit well, and I needed an extra lashing or 2 to hold it tight. It will fit perfectly with a fold up propane camping stove, which is a bit more compact. It comes in a mesh drawstring bag, which is nice, but a strap to hold everything together is a bit lighter I think. It doesn't come with the strap, but has the metal loops for it.
I know there's a lot of complaining in this review, but the cook kit still gets 5 stars. I had to really think to come up with any real cons, and some of them are just splitting hairs. Hope this helps!
