Stanley Adventure Even-Heat Camp Pro Cookset

The best pan I have ever bought! I always use this outdoors and sometimes at home. The handle can be removed easily and the pan could even be used in an oven for baking. Very solid and durable. Comes with a lid cover which works great when the pan has cooled down so that you can cover left over food in the pan to protect it from insect and other critters.

I have had this kit for 1 year, and use the pan at home and on the trail. The pan may be a little heavy for some because of the thick base, but for me, the physical size, durability, and usefulness far exceeds the weight. Most all the components in the kit are very useful. The plastic lid being the only exception. The lid would not stay securely attached to the pan and is essentially useless in regard to cooking. The plates, utensils, and cutting board are nice features. I have used all of them periodically throughout the past year while camping. I especially liked the 2-piece spatula design. For the most part, an excellent kit that Stanley has put together. I have recommended this cook set to others, as well as the Stanley adventure cook set and the adventure prep w/cook set. I would say that Stanley's Adventure series cook sets are a great value. Would be even better if one could buy individual components instead of the complete kits. Now, for my personal preferences, I have gradually removed or replaced every item that comes with the pan from my backpack kit. Useless plastic lid replaced with MSR Alpine plate. The alpine plate also negates the need for the plastic plates. Although the spatula is a nice feature, I replaced that with a small stainless steel spatula that I made. I use a titanium spoon & fork set, so the supplied utensils are of no use to me. The cutting board was also removed, being too small for my uses. The silicon trivet isn't something I would never use anyway, so that was removed as well.

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 pan is awesome. It's built like an actual fry pan with 3 layers of metal (stainless steel/aluminum/stainless steel) on the bottom of the pan to help evenly distribute heat across the entire cooking surface and it actually works pretty well. I mean this is no All-Clad level of frying pan BUT in the camp cookware world this is the best your going to get. Even from pricier brands. Every single camp fry pan that I have seen are all made out of one thin sheet of metal. This is bad because when cooking that thin metal will not distribute heat evenly causing you to burn one area of your food while the other might be cooked properly or under cooked. This imo is the only camp fry out there worth what you pay for it. If this was made by MSR you'd be paying a whole a lot more for this level of quality. Now certain things WILL stick to it like scrambled eggs. If you are FRYING an egg and you don't want it to stick you need to use butter. When you put the butter in the pan wait for the butter to melt. While it's in it's "melted phase" you will see the butter bubbling. Wait for this bubbling to stop. That bubbling is water boiling off from the butter. Once the bubbling has stopped there is no more water in the butter THEN you can put your cracked in the pan and it should not stick or at least not stick as bad. This works in full size pans too. You may need to season this skillet to help prevent sticking. I know it's stainless steel and you don't need to season stainless or what ever but you can get little bit of a seasoning on this skillet. It will help with the sticking.

Quality set.

I live in a mini home and I use an induction stove top. This pan is not a flimsy camp pan. It is a very sturdy heavy duty pan. I seasoned the pan with a very light coat of olive oil on a paper towel after boiling water in it and quickly emptying it of the hot water and letting the remaining water to evaporate. I find it is marvelous at the 3.5 heat setting on my induction stove top for perfect pancakes. I let it heat up for a few minutes, use a dab of olive oil on a paper towel to slick the pan up. Cook the pancakes. No sticking. Use the olive oil paper towel between each pancake. (A little is more!) After cooking, I use the same dab of olive oil paper towel and wipe the warm pan out. No need to wash it. I seasoned a steak and brought the temperature up to 7 to sear the steak 30 seconds on each side. . I reduced the heat to 5 and it cooks the steak to perfection. (I use a digital thermometer for my preference.) I find that a lid from my older pans work great on this small pan. I do use the extra stuff that came with it. It was a nice additional value! I bought the Stanley Camp Pro Cook Set. Same thing but more pots and pans. It is excellent!

With all the various cooking gear available to backpackers I still gravitate to Stainless Steel over aluminum and titanium. It just seems the most durable and robust for putting into a fire or using a portable butane stove. Stanley never disappoints with their products. Rigid construction and everything nests into place for easy packing. Plus, the pricing is reasonable and the quality is usually better than what you would find across competing products. I’m a big fan.

This solved all my cooking problems for camping. I love it! It works so well! And you even get a chopping board thrown in. The spatula is sturdy and the pan is thick and ideal for cooking. Not flimsy or cheap. Excellent product!

This is the perfect compact camping setup. You could cook up burgers, or steak or a stir fry for dinner, and do bacon and eggs for breakfast. A pan really is a nice solution. The spatula is good quality, and frankly the sporks are perfectly serviceable too. Nice to have a compact cutting board, and the rubber trivet/pot grabber. Plates are a little small, but whatever they worked. The only thing missing would be a bag or case or something so you don't get black campfire soot on your stuff. Easy enough to make something I guess, and add a little bit of room for collapsible sea to summit cups and it's everything you need. This isn't for ultralight backpacking, it weighs a bit, but the quality is fantastic, and it worked for motorcycle camping where i needed super compact but weight wasn't a concern.

Well built pan which I am sure will take years of hard knocks out in the outdoors. And indeed as advertised, the cooking is very even due to the aluminium layer on the bottom of the pan.

de las mejores compras que he hecho para mi kit de campamento, la calidad es muy superior a lo que se ve en las imagenes, si no pierdo nada este set se lo voy a poder heredar a mis hijos

Excelente calidad
