Hello fellow camp cooks,
I have had this set of pans for a number of months now. I didn’t want to write any review of them until I had had a chance to use them while camping. Finally after the last camping trip I feel I can give a well informed opinion.
First off, right out of the box, this set of pans has a quality feel. They are heavy and well balanced. The bottoms are milled perfectly flat, and the pans nest snuggly together. To balance out the extra weight in my galley, I removed my mixing bowls, figuring that since there are so many pans in the set I can use the extra ones for prep.
The thick bottoms allow for even distribution of heat resulting in less scorching (important for us easily distracted cooks.). The locking handles work like a dream, easy on, easy off, very secure when attached.
These are much better quality then the pans found in many homes, I would use them in my home kitchen, but my mother has already supplied me with high end cookware to use there ( yes I am spoiled).
These would make a nice addition to the kitchen kits of people with vehicle based galleys, but unfortunately due to their heavy nature they would probably be cumbersome in a chuck box. The only other downside is their price at about $175 . You either have to be very serious about your cookware or plan on using them a lot to justify the expense. I use both as an excuse. Actually these were a gift from my hubby, and I must say I would rather receive cookware or tools instead of jewelry or expensive clothes, they are my kind of bling.
Overall I give them 2 spatulas up!
Over and out,
Dr. CDawg
