BeGrit Backpacking Camping Cookware Mini Picnic Camping Cooking Mess Kit with Pot and Pan Set for Hiking

I can't actually say enough about this kitchenware set. For my expectations and purposes, it's very useful. The only things I would change is the material... I would have preferred titanium but I also should have stayed in school and got a job paying 6 digits a year. The SSteel is decent, tough and not too thin, though I suspect that you will have to dry it really well to avoid possible rust down the road. The handles are loosely fit, so that they flop around unless "locked" in the open position, or safely tucked into the bag. I solved this by using a needle nosed pliers to squeeze the metal "loops" on the pots and pan... voila, they stay where I put them. If you like quiet while hiking, this set all packed up in the bag (rugged and high quality mesh and black, like the soot which will be on the cookware) still rattles though, so maybe store your dry socks in there, but not your dish cloth or drying towel, as rust will take over your SSteel in due time. I have omitted the solid fuel burner dish (I use double layer tinfoil if burning solid fuel, so you can just crumple it up after and toss it into a sealed baggy or something, because even after they burn, the residue they leave can be hard to clean and smelly), the two plates (I have a lightweight, plastic portion plate I use) and have inserted my biofuel stove and a medium sized gas burner stove, solid fuel pellets for wet tinder days, my steel fire starter and homemade tinder kit. It's pretty tidy, fits nicely into the bag, and I still have a large and small pot, a good-sized pan (doubles as a cover for the pot if need be, for quick boiling water), the top for the small pot (to use as a small frying pan or a side plate for stuff like chicken cordon bleu or a t-bone steak). The plates are a bit small, but fine for use on the trail, but I like my food very hot, and the SSteel plates would be very hot to hold. The cups, unfortunately, don't have collapsible handles, so I won't use them, though they are light and big enough for a cup of tea or coffee. So all in all, even though I have modified my set, anyone with a desire to have everything you need for one or two ppl hiking in the back country, this little rig is a decent, affordable and compact set of cookware for exactly that. Good buy, I love it. Btw, if it seems like all the stuff in it would mean that it must be big, it isn't. It's just that pots and pans sets are usually hollow for a good portion when put altogether for storage. The set is small, reasonable light and tough and ultimately.. totally useful. As well as being storage for other kitchen stuff, if the right shape and size to fit in that "hollow" spot.

Works great for camping but, also when the power goes out, you have something to cook over a fire or use with a grill. Light weight to carry and compact.

This set is way smaller than the photos would make you assume. The frypan would fit one egg only, the saucepan could make one cup of soup & the cups are tiny. The set is better suited as a toddlers playset.

An excellent set of stainless steel cookwear. Arrived quickly and is sturdy, well built, and very inexpensive. Realistically this is a cooking set for one, two people max as the fry pan is not large nor are the pots. the cups are a nice addition although the two plates are very small. It was exactly as I had hoped itd be and Im giving it a 4/5 only because its not ultra light (though it isnt very heavy either) nor is it titanium. Still for the price you cant get a nicer set, (I compared it with sets at my local stores that range from 40 to 80$.) I would recommend this to anyone who backpacks or does backwoods camping/hunting.

They shorted me one pot! Make sure you check your order! Other than that, looks very nice, lightweight, that is my initial impression. Will update after I contact company. Update! I contacted the BeGrit Company about my issue. They apologized, told me to keep the set I had and they would send me a COMPLETE replacement set, not just the missing pan! How considerate and conscientious is that! Now, about the pans themselves. I really like them for their intended purpose. I see some complaints about the size from some. But you have to read the description! These are CAMPING type pans. Small, yes, but good for intended purpose. I have already used them inside and outside on my small wood burning camp stove! I heated up some chili, had some Ramon noodles, had some tea and coffee in the cups. I burned my chili a little heating it up, but after a short soak it cleaned right up! Most everything nests together. There's always room for improvement though. Example, the cups if they could somehow be made to fit inside each other like folding/locking handles or something to be a little more compact, that would be nice. However, for the price and quality I have no complaints with this kit or BeGrit! Thanks! Update: 3/23/20 I have been using this kit many times on top of our fire pit. Cooks and cleans up well. So happy I discovered the set fits inside my MSR Alpine Stowaway 1.1L Pot! (This is the partial set that was missing the small pot.) The only thing that doesn't fit inside are the two cups. The whole kit fits easily inside the BeGrit bag. Thanks again BeGrit! Wonderful purchase!
