This high quality set is sure to fill the needs of those cooks out for a weekend of fun and serious campfire cooking. It includes three great cooking kettles with flat lids, two non-stick fry pans with a removable steel handle, and an 8-Cup Coffee percolator for preparing freshly brewed coffee over the fire. All of these items have been finished with a one coat non-stick finish inside and out. The black outside finish allows for even faster heat transfer and faster clean up. The non-stick finish on all interior surfaces, including the coffee perk help keep maintenance to a minimum. Couple all that with six plastic compartment plates and cups and you have a great cooking set. The best part of all is that everything nests into the 10-quart kettle with the 10 fry pan serving as the cover.

Nice set
»
We just took this set camping for the first time last weekend. It definitely served it's purpose. My husband had the kettle on the campfire almost the entire trip, and it help up well, even though it is discolored now, of course. I assume we will have to buy a sturdier kettle at some point, but it did well and it made decent coffee with the percolator. The handle is a little difficult to put on the frying pan. It would be nice if there were actual bowls with this set, but then it wouldn't all fit together. The cups are pretty small, so if you want a good amount of coffee, or a drink with ice, you will need to bring extra cups along. And, although everything nests together, it doesn't clamp down in any way, so the top (which is one of the pans) will fall right off if you try to carry the stack. There is probably a way to use a flat bungee cord to keep it secure. But, all in all, the set is nice, we made mac and cheese, fried eggs, made oatmeal and boiled eggs, etc, and things cooked quickly and they set washed well. And the cups did hold up to very hot coffee, even if they didn't hold much.

Great for large families
»
I bought this cookware set about a year ago for family camping trips. We are a family of 5 who don't like to skimp on meals when camping. This set has more than met our expectations. There is nothing that we want to cook that we can't with these pots. I also use the largest pot to boil water for washing the dishes. I haven't had a problem with sticking although I do use spray or olive oil when I have to brown anything. I would not recommend using metal utensils as the non-stick coating is thin. I have used this set at least 10 times and it has held up well. They clean up very easily. The cups are small but double as measuring cups which always come in handy, one less item we have to carry. The plates are small but definately functional. The flat lids for the tops can also double as a warming area for breads, butter, etc. I can't tell how many years of wear I will get out of these, but I would buy again, especially for the price. And everything really does fit together in one pot.
