Forever Cookware

If you're shopping for cookware that will last forever, this is it. Best for @ least two people. Nests & stores very nicely. Extremely durable & heats evenly. Cleans up very nicely with a little soap & water, "Scotch" pad, or sand. (Blue discolorations caused be overheating can be removed with copper cleaner). A bit heavy, but if weight is not an issue, this cookware set is for you.

Can the lid be used as a frypan? If not will the Alpine stainless steel frypan nest with these pots?

The lid & handle form a pretty good eight inch frying pan or plate or both. The Alpine frying pan with folding handle will nest over the three liter pot but not the two liter which is in this set.

I have used mine for frying on many occasions. Not sure about the Alpine stainless steel frying pan fitting though.

Kinda Heavy. Very Reliable

This is a nice pot set. It is very dependable. You can use them to cook anything. The pot grabber is actually fairly stable, as I have used it to handle the pot when it was full of boiling water and I did not have any problems. Everything fits nicely into the biggest pot (including my MSR Whisperlite stove). The biggest drawback to this set is the extra weight of stainless steal. I have not heard great things about heating aluminum too hot and titanium is too expensive. This is the best of both worlds.
Can you pack a stove inside the pots?

Since the inner nesting pot in this set is 1.5 liters, most folding stoves will fit. The old style MSR XGK will not fit because of it's straight, inflexible fuel line. All the newer, Lindal valve, canister stoves will fit plus the eight ounce fuel canister.

Definitely. I can fit the stove and all accessories that come with it, including a repair kit. The grabber fits nicely in there too!

The question is which stove? The Whisperlite, DragonFly and XGK all need a 1.5 liter pot or greater. The Simmerlite, WindPro, and Superfly need only a 1L pot. The Pocket Rocket can be packed in the MSR Titan Kettle with a 4oz. Fuel bottle. The smallest pot of this set is a 1.5L pot so, yes, any of the MSR stoves can be packed inside it.

Nice pot set

For starters, this is a nice steel pot set. Obviously it isn't weightless, but isn't heavy in my opinion. I didn't think it would be, but the grabber is stable. Despite other comments to the contrary, I would NOT use the pot lids for a frying pan. The lids are thin (read: uneven heating) and you can burn food onto the lid. If you are in a pinch, the lid will work as a frying pan, but I would recommend purchasing something designed for that purpose. Overall though, the pots are very nice and worth the investment.
Change me.
