 Cheap, Ultralight, functional BUT will Dent November 3, 2009
A. Disch
This is a great set for UL backpacking at less then 8oz. When i go solo I just take the pot with lid which is less then 3 oz. Make sure to get a pot grabber (3$, 1oz) to pull the put off the fire b/c otherwise you'll tip it over or get burned. It dented in my pack, and the detachable handle isn't sturdy enough to remove the pan when full of water/food (bends) but hey, its 7 bucks! Still haven't found anything as light for a reasonable price so i'm sticking with this. Very pleased.

Purchased for backpack addition. The pros are very light weight, compact and fits together good. Cons the cup will burn your lip with hot liquids and the pot tips when picked up by handle. Top and bottom are the most useful. For the price you can not lose.

It's exactly as advertised. Will work for one person. I wish it were a little more sturdy though.
 I love this kit February 9, 2009

I like this product allot. It has every thing you need to have a nice meal in the wilderness. The plate is great because I dump my rehydrated meals onto it so I don't get my hands dirty digging the food out of the bag. Also the cup is nice because If I want Hot cocoa during the day I can put it right onto my Esbit stove. I use a piece of aluminum foil as a lid, it works well. Some may complain that the cup will burn you but that a warning that your drink is too hot all in all it is a great kit That I always have with me in the woods.
Cheap, Light, However... January 19, 2009
Clint Malton (Oregon)
I've used this set on 10+ multi-day backpacking trips. It is extremely light weight, compact, and very inexpensive.
I once took a tumble and the set's frying pan got pretty dented up. I was able to push out the dents and mold it back into shape with ease.
However, the set has a few key design flaws that really make it a "leave at home" set. The frying pan's handle is made of thin aluminum and when lifting, the handle bends and will likely spill whatever you're cooking.
Secondly, the swinging handle on the middle sized pot /w lid has no way to lock in place, so when you pick it up from the handle it swings back in forth spilling any liquid contents. The shallow pans and angled sides make it even more difficult to keep contents inside. Lastly, the small mug's handle absorbs heat from the mug very quickly, and then retains that heat longer then the beverage (basically by the time the handle has cooled enough to grab, the drink is cold.) Now, after you have experienced all the flaws, and learn to work around them its just too much effort.
Overall, even with all the faults, its not too bad of a set. If the manufacturer were to make a few minor adjustments to the design, it would be a much better.
