Consumer Reports

Stanley's Adventure Base Camp cook set is a camping cookware kit made with essentially no compromises for weight; this frees the Stanley set to optimize cooking performance further while maintaining packability. It serves four people and nests together perfectly for easy packing in the corner of your car trunk or canoe duffel. It comes with pots, pans, plates, cooking and eating utensils, and more. The price is hard to beat, and its durable stainless steel construction adds to its value. After testing it for over two years, the steel hasn't changed color, and all components still look fresh.
With so many pieces comes additional weight adding bulk to your pack. While it does nest together, it's far too heavy to go very far as part of a human-powered cook kit. The plates are a bit small and only suitable for small portion sizes. That said, for a true "glamping" experience, some may want to grab a few plates from their home kitchen. For backpacking, almost any of the other products we assess is a better choice because of its heavy weight. This Stanley set is truly best for budget-conscious folks who are traveling by boat, plane, or car and want a functional kitchen in one nested package that's great for larger groups. Or, you can take individual pieces and modularize as you wish.
