GSI Outdoors, Pinnacle Base Camper, 8-Piece Camp Cookset

Okay, I wanted to wait for one complete camping season to be done before writing my review. We are very happy with this cookware set. We transitioned down to a T@B 320 camper so space is at a premium and were looking for a way to consolidate or cookware. After doing the research we settled on the GSI Base Camper set. Usually when my wife and I camp we have other family members come along so we needed the capacity of the larger pots and skillet so that dictated the size. We don't use this set over an open fire but use either the stove with the camper or a Coleman stove. These nest into a nice compact storage solution that hasn't opened up when traveling. They've been used at least 50 times and the surface still looks like the day they came out of the box. They are easy to clean with minimal water usage. You do have to use plastic or non abrasive utensils and cleaning pads but I purchased the handy accessory kit that provides those items. We've had no issues with the handle although I would recommend purchasing another so you can have a pot and skillet going at the same time and not switch out the handle. The drain holes set in the lid of the larger pot are handy. Every thing about the set so far seems well built and problem free so far. To be honest I could see the handles becoming an issue down the road since they do have plastic in some of the construction and they are by a heat source if you're not careful. However I would just buy a new handle at this point. Here's to waiting for the snow to melt and season two with the Pinnacle Base Camper Cook Set!

I had used a GSI Base Camper set for years and years and years but it was a smaller, older version and I was looking for a larger pot. This set met my expectations and MORE! My other set is still fully functional and usable as an individual backpacker and the no stick surface has held up for years. I was afraid that over time GSI might have tried to change, go cheap, or otherwise manipulate their pots but they have not as of yet! I have only used this set on one trip so far and it has held up to the standards of my old GSI pot. The added benefits of a cutting board and a strainer lid are bonuses although I do not care for plastic lids as I cannot use the pot with lid on a fire. The only way to cook with a lid is to use the Frypan/Plate to keep the ashes out and heat in. With this said, I wish they only had ONE plastic strainer lid and TWO Frypan/Plates which would make totally more sense and make the kit even more versatile to the outdoorsman/backpacker who "MAY" need to use fire if stove malfunctions or fuel runs out. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this cook kit and dump one of the strainer lids to add another frypan/plate down the line.

This set of pots and pans are high quality and light. I am taking up car camping and don't have much space in my car hence since all pieces nest together they are perfect for my needs. The handle is easy to attach and very secure. The cutting board is very thin but hey, it works and again doesn't take up extra space. I love it that they are non-stick; I certainly don't want to have to scour pots and pans while out car camping.

This kit replaced an old MSR kit that I loved and they stopped making. It weighs pretty much the same - not ultralight but good. I'm not sure I love the lids as they are a sort of plastic material, but I've only used it once so far, they have the potential of love or hate. The handle sucks, it rigidly hooks onto the pot, which isn't practical when you need to switch to the next pot. My clamp on MSR handle works perfectly - if I didn't have that handle substitute, I might not have rated the set so high. Oh there is a bonus cutting board included - love that little piece!

I bought this to have as a two person cook set for my fiance and myself. We have used this set for both car camping and backpacking and it it big enough/small enough for each. With two different size pots and a fry pan you can easily make extravagant meals while on the trail or just keep it simple. The pan is large enough to make pancakes and the built in strainers on the lids make boiling noodles a breeze. The non stick surface makes these very easy to clean and they all nest very nicely for an easy compact storage. While some might find this to large and heavy backpacking, with two people, the added weight is barely noticed. If you plan on cooking for more than 2 I would advise purchasing a larger set unless you all eat small portions. In addition, I would recommend the GSI Outdoors Crossover Kitchen Kit set as it goes perfectly with this cook set. GSI Outdoors Crossover Kitchen Kit

Nicely made. Teflon is supposedly so tough you can use metal utensils. I plan to stick with rubber and plastic, but it will hopefully hold up. Assembles into a very tight package. Expensive, but seems to be worth it. I bought an extra handle and the GSI “pot gripper” to avoid/simplify changing handles with hot pots. Needs a soft bag to carry the handles though, so they don’t scratch the inside. Fortunately, my wife had a perfect jewelry bag, but should have been provided.

Picked this up to replace two old inexpensive sets that had seen better days. Have only tested out the frying pan so far, and it worked great. Consider a very small spatula for use though, because it's small, a regular size spatula is difficult to use without accidentally pushing food out of the pan. The set fits together nicely, is compact and appears very sturdy and high quality. The addition of the little round cutting board is handy as well. I haven't used all the pieces yet, but I've played around with it to check it out, and I really like it. Very happy with my purchase and hope to get many years of use from this set. Amazon has a great price for the set as well.

I want to be able to cook a decent amount of food for friends/family when camping, so I wanted a pot and pan set that could handle higher volumes of food. This works great and can cover most cooking needs. It is particularly nice that it packs up and nests all together. I use this with my Yakima OpenRange, and it fits neatly in there. I can even get a cast iron pan that this will fit in, to help further reduce space use. Great option for the camp kitchen

I love this cook set! Honestly, it's the best one I've ever bought. Everything cooks evenly and nothing sticks, which is way better than other sets I've tried in the past. One little tip—wrap a paper towel around the pot gripper when storing it so it doesn’t scratch the pots. Super happy with this purchase!

Für Camping super

Nachdem das Set hier bei mir ankam habe ich es mir erst einmal Stück für Stück angeschaut. Die optische Qualität überzeugt. Wie es beim Gebrauch aussieht kann ich noch nicht sagen, da das passende Fahrzeug noch nicht vor Ort ist. Wir werden sehen wie es in Zukunft aussieht und es wird dann auch berichtet.
