Overall a very tough set of pots. You don''t have to worry about wearing any finish off like with the fancy teflon ones. When food does stick just throw some sand or fine gravel in and simply grind the burnt food off with a scour pad. The Lid can be filled with water and turned upside down over the pot when cooking so there is some good hot dishwater ready without wasting any extra fuel. The stuff sack seems a bit bulky, I use one of those big red brocolli elastics to hold the things together and it works great. Customer Service Never used it! Similar Products Used: Heavy Nonstick pots that wore out because of hitting eachother when stacked together. |

I use them around 15 times a week and the only problems were a warped bottom on the 2L pot, and burned pasta wich stained the bottom but is coming off with time. Keep a close eye on your dinner and you will be happy. Similar Products Used: None |

It has a big pot, a medium pot and a lid that doubles as a plate. It's tough and lightweight. What else do you want? Similar Products Used: None |

I got mine with the heat exchanger as well and they are great. I've had them for 5 years and have no complaints. They are light enough, sturdy, clean easily and the size of the pans is about right for me. I can't think of any bad points and good points well, they'er pans and they do their job well. Customer Service I think they're pretty good though I've never needed them. I also have and MSR XGK stove which is superb. Similar Products Used: Trangia. I have a frying pan and it really is good. Non stick etc really nice but used for a slightly different type of trip. |

We've had our set for 3 years now and love it. It is a tad heavy for backpacking but very durable and easy to clean. We pack or MSR Shaker Jet stove inside the kit. We almost never use the big pot except as dish pot to hold soapy water. Similar Products Used: None |

I've owned my set for about 5 years now and am completely satisfied with it! I fit most my utensils in it when packed in the sack. There's a few dents and some burn marks on the pots, but they just add character. Highly recommended. Will probably last another 10 years plus! Similar Products Used: Numerous other types and brands. |

Very simple design that packs all into each other. Great quality, and super lightweight. Best priced /weight/quality cookset out there. And it even fits my primus stove inside the pot when closed and packed in the stuffsack. Similar Products Used: My entire gang of backpackers have the same cookset, and i wonder why? |

I've been using this set now for 5 years and I couldn't be happier! Cheap, light and easy to use, I use it for solo up to groups of 4. When I go alone or 2 people go fast and light I just bring the smaller pot and lid. I can fit my whisperlight, windscreens, potlifter and spoon/forks inside the inner pot. May not be the best for gourmet camp cooking but I bring along a nostick fry pan for that. Similar Products Used: MSR Blacklite (great for gourmet, but doesn't come out for long trips) |

I don't like titanium pots that much and they cost whey to much money. I got a alpine cookset which suts me just fine. It's super light weight steel and the edges are rounded to trap the heat a little better. I like the feature that you can put the frying pan as a lid for the to pots. Customer Service I have not needed any customer service. There products are first rate. Similar Products Used: Many different ones |
