three stars means "adequate for the job" according to the backcountry rating key. that's what this is.. adequate for one-person to warm boil some water and warm up small portions of grub. i disagree with the frying pan being really adequate for anything that isn't shaped like a mcdonalds burger patty in terms of size or thickness.. this kit is really, really small, the frying pan almost laughable, so make sure to break out a ruler and trace out the size of the kit before you order. it's really light, and very compact, but even as an ultralight-minded backpacker, this was too small for me to keep. sent it back to get somethign larger and more functional. your milage may vary..

Light and sturdier than I expected. As other reviewers have said, they are on the small side, the largest pot can hold 2 cups of water max. Great for making food for one person, get a larger pot in addition if you plan on cooking for more than one.

These are the best pots and pans I have ever used. They are extremely light and durable. I've cooked more packs of Raman noodles and canned chicken in mine than I care to think about. Do be careful to not put them on the stove empty. You will burn the bottom of the pan. If you're going to cook something powdery, be sure to mix it with water before heating and use a few drops of oil to grease the pan. I use a Dobie Pad to clean mine, but you can use any plastic pad, just don't use steel wool. I store the pad in the pans with the Snowpeak Titanium cook stove. The handles get very hot when the stove is on, but if you wait 60 seconds or so after you turn the stove off, they are safe to touch.

good set if you are out and only need to cook for yourself. if you need more than than this isn't the set for you. largest pot is good for cooking most anything you would need. light and durable no complaints here.

good for solo cookware. The "frying pan" is tiny, so you'll probably only wanna cook for one. Very light with adequate room inside for a backpacker's stove or small can of fuel. TIP. Bring only the bigger bowl and pan.

I used this set in combo with 2 different "Mini Bull Designs" alcohol stoves up to 10,000' elev as cold as 30 degrees. Each stove (Iso, MiniSith, and a homemade Pepsi can stove) worked well and I am glad I made the pot purchase. PROS: Affordable, lightweight, easy to clean, nestles well together, fast boil time. CONS: won't nestle with Trek 1400, lid doesn't fit tightly with handles out, handles can get hot, can be a little tippy. NOTE: I used a small cloth to quiet down any rattling the set made in my pack.

This is perfect if you are a minimilist camper and weight is a concern. We used with both open flame in a fire pit and with the camp stove and got the same results each time. Quick even heating. A good buy.

I ordered this set for my ultralight gear set. The product description is exactly as described. Light weight, multiple pieces, and it is perfect for a single person setup. The only problem I had with it is how it fits on the MSR Dragonfly stove (and my friends MSR Whipser). Due to the small pot base size, the biggest pot barely fits on the MSR Dragonfly (about 1/2" on the three grills). The MSR whisper grills are further spread apart so the pot doesn't even fit due to its small size (according to my friend). I'll have to post a base pot width so you can measure before purchasing. Otherwise this would have been a great set to have.

I actually have not cooked anything in this but I have used it to eat out of. The giga power stove inside stove container fits nicely inside along with the wind screen for the stove.

I had to return it. It is really small and was unstable on my Primus multifuel stove. On smaller stoves must work great, but think about it if you have a bigger stove.

Super light, pretty affordable, and they are a great size. I'm able to fit some first aid supplies inside which works great. They cook well and I am glad that i bought these.

I bought this set as a light-weight addition to my growing stash of "two person" gear. So far so good with durability and functionality. And it's super light weight! Though this set is pretty tiny.

Better than the one I have; this one (for my boyfriend) has collapsible handles! Never know when you're going to need to mix drinks on the slowest train in India.

Bought these because Im a cheep ass. Turns out they are pretty good. Very light easy to clean. Kinda on the small side but I wasn't looking to feed an army. Suites my needs perfectly.

Wash DC's Review: My comment on this cookware is more strategic. I think this set is very functional... serving people and cooking. I combined this with the snow peak fry pan set. The titanium is very expensive, but this set is a great price/value compared to the other set choices I've reviewed.

Not a bad product/money. Blackened with stove spray paint to absorb heat faster. Will be using on the AT. My only suggestion is place a well-known item next to item for sale to judge scale. I understand that this may not be possible due to stock photos, but this would add value for the purchaser.

When ounces count, count on this set. I used it on a Grand Canyon trek and it proved to be a valuable asset.

Awesome cookware! Extrememly light, durable, heated water fast! Only drawback is drinking hot liquids heats up the bowl, but that passes. Easy to clean; Snowpeak gear has always worked great!!

I purchased this cookware set a couple of years ago not knowing how much I would love it and rely on it on all my trips. I love the fact you can store the fuel canister in one of the pots. You can leave on pot at home and just use the larger pot and lid for weight savings. I'm completely sold on snow peak gear. Nothing they make is less that first class!

What a great package. This stuff is light without sacrificing durability. Water boils fast because of the efficient rounded bottoms and clean-up is no longer a chore.

I'm a little skeptical about cooking in winter, seeing how there is no tight-fitting lid, but I'm sure a few extra minutes (if that) won't hurt, eh?

This is such a great set. It is lightweight, durable (not like aluminum), and serves every thing I could possibly think of. Plus thers no need for potholders because there are folding handles and I have not had a problem with scorching like with some other MSR titanium pots I have used before.

This is a great set. It is ultralight and durable. This set is also very compact. It has the perfect liquid carrying capacities. Heats up very quickly, and gets hot, which is the only small drawback, if you can call that one. Very good value and I highly recommend it.

Lightweight, durable, fits together well. I would buy it again. Heats up and cools back down quickly - not good for keeping things hot unless kept over flame. Hard to remove burned-on material.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. The cookware is great, the price was excellent (I compared prices before ordering), and it arrived quite promptly. Two thumbs up.

Against my better judgment I bought these sight unseen. They conduct heat well and evenly in my experience. Make sure the handles are folded out before you put them on fire as they will get a tad too hot to touch with just skin. The only downside is they are on the small side. I would recommend maybe this and then go get one more pot that’s 50-100% bigger than the big one in this set for car camping/short hikes in. Again, my fault, not Snow Peak's. If you want a small set for boiling water or solo or maybe 2 people meals these should suit you, they nest nicely and my stove fits inside the smaller one.

The set is sturdy and lightweight, and the handles tuck conveniently into the form. The only problem is--unless you have a bird stomach, you won't get full from what you can boil in the tiny pot. I didn't look at the cookware water capacity, and so I can't fault the manufacturer for the size. I don't see how a person with an average appetite or above can find this useful, though.

The set is very lightweight, super durable, and wipes clean with a little warm water. The only complaint I've had is I have to scramble one egg at a time on the small frying pan so if you're wanting to do more than that maybe invest in a separate frying pan but the two pots are wonderful for everything.

Cookware that gets the job done. Perfect for single servings. Ultra lightweight seems it wil holdup well. The handles get warm so have something to grab them with.

This set is great. If you want to keep your pack weight down, buy this set and use them for cooking as well as eating from. Don't waste money buying the larger titanium cookware pieces. There's enough room inside this set to keep some dehydrated food too. I personally use it to keep about 2-3 packets of oatmeal for emergencies. This set is so light, the food I keep in it seems to weigh more than the 3 parts.

5 stars, this set is fantastic, just don't expect to cook a lot in any of it. It's sized for fast and light solo, fits a canister stove and a titanium spork no problem. Basically it kicks ass

This is the perfect cook set for long-distance backcountry trips. It is extremely light, sturdy, compact and easy to clean. If you are cooking anything more complex than freeze dried or "just add water" meals, you might want something a little bigger though. I'm usually a lone wolf and packing light though, so this set works out perfectly for my needs. No complaints.
