STANLEY Adventure Camp Cooking Set

This set, like the other Adventure sets I own did not disappoint, it impressed. I like that the only overlap with the cook set is the collapsible spatula and cutting board. But with now having three, I can dedicate one to meat use. For the camping ventures with myself and DD, these Adventure sets provide compact, service from stove to table.
I always prefer cooking with Stainless over aluminum. Thank you Stanly for giving me a choice. Stainless when seasoned and with oil and cooking at the right temperatures, is non-stick. No need for yucky coatings on our pans.
I also prefer reusable to disposable. The plates and sporks, though smaller sized, are very serviceable. When combined with the bowls of the cook set, each camper has plenty of room for the heartiest meal.
The only thing I would change is the lid. I wish it were stainless like the other set vs. plastic, hence the docked star.
The quality of this set is apparent when you handle and use it. It is better suited for car camping vs. backpacking due to the substantialness and weight.
The locking handle feels secure when handling the pan and the layered bottom distributes heat better. The included trivet is also handy as a pot holder or to use on the table.
I just found out this also works on an induction cook top!

We got this kit for car camping, and it’s awesome!

The entire kit sits within the large pot, and there are image directions printed within the set on the underside of I think one of the pans so you know how to layer them to make it fit. The small frying pan and large pot heats up quick, so I use the lowest setting on my gas stove to cook. To boil water, the highest stove setting will heat up water very quickly. The frying pan has a movable latch which you must push towards the base of the pan and it cannot be moving or loose, otherwise, when you pick up the pan, the handle will move and the pan will fold over on itself.

We’ve now used this kit for over a year for numerous camping trips, and it works like a champ! We probably won’t upgrade for a very, very long time because it’s durable. Cleaning burned off food can be a pain, but with a soak and a scrub, everything comes off fairly easily – we’ve never had issues with cleaning. There is also a small flat piece of plastic, which is a dish rack for the plates – it’s ingenious and well thought out, because laying dishes out while camping can be annoying.

It’s a great kit for beginner campers, car campers, glampers, and backyard camping. Weight-wise, I wouldn’t get this if you’re rappelling up mountains, or going somewhere remote. Otherwise, it’s really paid itself off in how many times we’ve used it, and will continue to use.

This purchase was for Emergency/Disaster Preparedness concerns.
We had already purchased other Stanley Cookset products (individual sets w/nested cups, and the cookset for two) and have enjoyed their capabilities immensely.
We decided to get the cookset for four to increase our usage, and we’re thrilled to discover that the cookset for two nests nicely inside of the cookset for four!
We love the easily readable markings on all of these Stanley cookset products, and their design and construction provide sturdy and reliable use for an outstanding pricepoint!!
These units are the best camping/emergency cooking products that I’ve ever owned!!

There are many reviews of the quality of this pan. I agree with them all. This pan is heavier than most and that’s a good thing. When set on a stove, this pan will stay put. My only complaint is the sporks are garbage. They seem to be made of cheaper flimsier plastic than the spatula. They’re so cheap and flimsy, I would not use them at all. I recently purchased the 4-person cook set from Stanley. That set came with 4 bowls and 4 sporks. The sporks that came in that set are smaller and nice quality. The sporks in this set are larger, cheap, and flimsy. The plates, cutting board and trivet are really nice quality. The cutting board being far nicer than I thought it’d be.

One thing the reviews don’t point out that might be worth noting. The handle can easily be removed completely and stowed inside the cook set. Thus making the set slightly more compact.

This is such a convenient set for camping! The set includes the pot, a small pan, four plates, four bowls, four sporks, a small spatula, a small serving/mixing spoon, and a heat-resistant tray for you to lay the pot/pan on after cooking. It all conveniently nestles into each other, which is the truly biggest appeal since it can be a headache to pack so many different things for camp trips, especially kitchenware. The plates and bowls are on the small side, so you won’t be able to pack big meals on them. The pan is also smaller, but great for things like eggs. The pot is a reasonable size. The latch keeps the lid on the pot so nothing falls out. I will continue using this for many more camping trips!
