SOTO Navigator Cook Set (One Size)

These pans are brilliant, not cheap but worth the money, light weight, but very versatile and clean up well after use. They are made for camping but we use them in our campervan and they are working really well.

キャンプ初心者でも扱いやすく、収納性が非常に優秀。OD缶やバーナーをまとめて入れられ、撤収もラクでした。お湯も早く沸き、ラーメンや簡単な料理に最適。長く使える万能クッカー。

It’s part of the emergency kit I stow in my car so I can light a fire and cook a meal no matter where I am

Very light and compact. Smallest size gas canister and Soto Windmaster stove fit neatly into the smaller pot, together with the supplied handle and microfibre cloth. I especially like the pot lid which can be used as cutting board, strainer and canister stabilizer. To minimize weight and volume, you can only take the smaller pot, everythingyou need fits inside it. There is also a "cozy" and a thermal blanket for the smaller pot, to keep the food warm. Both are also very light and compact. Cozy also includes a strap so you can eat straight from the pot while holding it - no table or plates required. Really smart design.

For starters, I have MANY Soto products, and I find them all excellent. After having great success with the Thermostack when camping solo, I thought purchasing the Navigator cookset for family camping would be a no-brainer. Knowing that this set would have the same issue as the Thermostack (the lids, being plastic, will melt if you don't use a slow heat) that wasn't really a problem for me. I'm okay with the efficiency loss of boiling without the lid on. What was a problem was that it's almost impossible to pour from either pot. I'm not looking for laminar flow, or a goose-neck kettle performance.... just the ability to get water into a mug or bowl without making a huge mess. I tried several times, over a 5 day camping trip, and was never able to successfully do that. I have many, many pots...from stainless steel billy pots, to titanium mugs.... and these two are by far the worst to pour from. The water dribbles down the side of the pot, no matter how much is in it, and at what speed you attempt to pour. This might not be a problem for some; for me, being the only pots I take, they need to also be able to distribute hot water into other vessels. Without a ladle or the like, it is very frustrating to do this. Everything else about these pots is great (the gripper, the strainers in the lids, the anodized finish, the cozy).... except the tabs on the lids...they suck. Unfortunately, this is the first Soto product that I do not recommend.
