StansportStainless Steel Cook Set

We bought these pots for camping. They are solid, with thicker bottoms for better heat distribution on our small butane stove. We are very pleased with how they nest into a relatively small and compact set. Highly recommended.They have **no** non-stick coating - which is exactly what we wanted for our camp cooking set so that we didn't have to worry about the possibility of damaging the coating.As my wife said, they are good enough even for home 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!

Love these pots and pans. They are compact, durable and fit easily in our small RV. They stack! They have 1 detachable handle that fits all sizes. It can be a thing to get it on and off. It seems a little loose 6th at times.

Cooked my first meal with this set this evening and I am very satisfied with the results. The cookware heats evenly and performs well. The stainless steel is of quality and should last a very long time not to mention it looks good and it is very compact when storing.It's very well made with no imperfections detected and solid. It's well worth the money to invest in this cookware set and I'm now wondering why people pay such exorbitant amounts for their other brands of cookware.It is an easy to clean and easy to store set that will last a lifetime and will function well both at home or in the field.
