A few months back I bought the Stanley Base Camp Cook Set For Four, and was finally able to try it out on my recent trip to the coast.
The set includes a 3.7 qt pot with vented lid, a 7.25 inch frying pan, spatula, serving spoon, 4 22 oz. bowls, 4 6 inch plates, 4 sporks, a cutting board, a heat resistant pad, and a dish drying rack. Everything fits together into the pot, so it all takes up very little room.
It all works rather well, and I love how compact the whole thing is. There were only a couple of minor areas of concern. The size of the plates were kind of an issue for me. It was hard to fit both a main and a side on one plate. I found myself using either two plates or a plate and a bowl, just to make things easier. The height of the walls of the frying pan made it challenging to get the spatula underneath pancakes. Had no problems with cooking anything else in it. Lastly, the edge of the spatula started to melt after only a few days use. It's not too bad...about what I see on plastic spatulas in the house after several months. For the most part, I was cooking on low to medium-low heat, so I don't feel like this should have been a problem this soon. I didn't use the sporks because they were stored in a section of the kit that I didn't use, and so forgot about them. But after using this, I wish I'd remembered them.
Overall, I'm quite happy with it, and the issues I mentioned are minor nit-picky things that are easily worked with.
