Terra Hiker Camping Cookware, Nonstick, Lightweight Pots, Pans with Mesh Set Bag for Backpacking, Hiking, Picnic

The media could not be loaded. This is the nicest little camp cookware set I have owned. This has lots of pieces to it that nestle inside each other and all fit nicely in the mesh bag.The mesh bag has a nice feel to it and is a heavier material then a lot of others I have had. The opening opens and closes really nice and smooth and it opens up with a larger hole then the cookware so that it's easy to get the set in and out of the bag. The mesh bag allows for air to get around the set if you bag it up after you wash it you can hang in on a tree and it will dry out.The frying pan is a good size and you could easily cook for a couple people out of it. the pot is a bit smaller in width then the pan so that it nestles inside the frying pan. It is a good size and could easily cook some soup on boil water for cooking or dishes. both pans have curved handles that nest up against the pans so they sit nicely inside the mesh bag.One thing that sets this set apart is the kettle. You can boil water for hot chocolate or tea in it. If you put coffee grounds in a filter and tie it off then throw it in there you can make coffee.Other accessories that go with this kit is a wooden spoon and a plastic ladle as well as three small bowls and a cleaning sponge.Over all this is a very nice kit.

My main concern about this was if the "non-stick" aspect was Teflon or not. I confirmed with the manufacturer that the non-stick is purely the smooth hard-anodized coating on the aluminum, and now that I've received it I can confirm there's no Teflon coating that's going to burn off or poison you if it gets overheated. It's wonderfully lightweight and nests together with enough room in the small pot to allow for stowing a pocket rocket style stove and some extra utensils.My other concern was the handles. They appear to be some sort of plastic, but despite putting the small pot on my Whisperlite Universal running at full blast with the flames wrapping up around the sides of the pot a bit I haven't melted the handles and they stayed cool enough to comfortably hold. I'd say if you stuck it in/over a campfire the handles may present an issue, but these really weren't made for that anyway.

This is an out-of-the-box review. The set is excellent except for the plastic bowls, which are flimsy and about the size of a quarter cup measure. Useless, in my view, for anything except the prank of serving somebody a tiny portion of cereal. I've already tossed them away, but am still happy because it was the cookware I wanted, not the crockery. Pots and kettle are sturdy enough and strike a good balance between ruggedness and weight. I will amend this review once I've had a chance to cook with the pots.

I purchased this cooking art after having my eye on a larger, more expensive set for a long time. I am happy I made the switch. I took this set car-camping with my two young sons. I used the pan, pot, and kettle for hot dogs, grits, and coffee. The little bowls were perfect for my kids and me. The bowls can also serve as cups in a pinch. Everything was easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to pack. I am glad I went with the smaller set because I can use it for my kid-free hike-in camping trips later on.My neighbor came over to help me unpack when I got back and he was really impressed with the cooking set, too.

I was excited to get this kit as its larger than the one i use for backpacking. When it arrived I eagerly checked it out and quickly discovered that it doesn't nest. With the kettle. Looking back at the listing i noticed that the manufacturer didnt specificly claim that it nested or showed pictures of it, just that it would all fit in the mesg bag. Still it seems to be a decent set for the money. Next time i'll read more carefully.

Of all the camp cookware sets I looked at, I have to admit I adore this one. It nests quite well, and the kettle is perfect for morning coffee with a little left over to wash out any dishes when car camping/vanlifing. The large pot is a bit larger than I thought it would be, but it works out great when I'm making a homemade soup and adding pasta. The pan is fabulous for egg whites, sausage, mushroom, and spinach in the morning. Overall, even when I started renting a room, I have to admit that this is a perfect set for one to two people.

This is a nifty mess kit. Perfect for two people, it is easy to pack and unpack, and easy to use. The pot holds a surprising amount, and the kettle is good for two cups of tea. I felt a bit guilty walking through REI and seeing similar sets for at least twice the price.It all sits well on top of a JetBoil or other canister mounted burner. We used this on a car camping trip around the SouthWest, and it didn’t disappoint. I just stopped at a store and bought two enamel cups to complement the set, and off we went.

There are better options out there for extreme lightweight backpacking, but not many in my mind beat these for the price I paid for them. I use them for truck camping plus other regular camping trips. I cooked over fires and on a Coleman stove. In an emergency I even cooked over a jetboil with them and they worked perfectly.I have no reason not to give a 5 star rating. I do wish they would offer a set without the water pot. I still haven’t used that yet.
