TOAKS Titanium 1100ml Pot with Pan

WEIGHT: 0.35 lbs

CAPACITY: 1.1 lt

PACKED SIZE: Ø 4.5 x 5.5 in

Toaks Titanium is backpacking cookware that comes with a pot and a pan. It is generally sold with TOAKS Titanium Backpacking Wood Burning Stove which fits perfectly inside the pot. Since they are both titanium they are extremely lightweight and durable.

Although it is a convenient gear, accessories don’t come with the cookware, you have to bring them separately. If you like to pack light and durable equipment it is great for you.

ProsCons
Extremly Lightweight Accessories Not Included
Durable Not Non-Stick
A Wood-Burning Stove Can Be Stacked in The Pot

GSI Pinnacle Soloist

WEIGHT: 0.68 lbs            

CAPACITY: 1.1 lt

PACKED SIZE: Ø 5.5 x 5 in

GSI Pinnacle Soloist is a great tool for solo camping. It is compact, versatile and it won’t take a big space in your backpack. It comes with a pot, a lid, a spork-spoon, and a bowl cup. Its pot has a collapsible arm that takes almost no space, and this arm is also used for locking everything in place.

Another good thing about GSI Pinnacle Soloist is even when you put every tool in the pot, it still has space to put a small stove in it.

Its bag has a rigid form so you can use it as a sink to clean your stuff. It is great camping cookware for backpacking solo, but if you are planning to camp with your family or a group of friends I would recommend GSI outdoors Bugaboo Camper.

ProsCons

Snow Peak Titanium Multi Compact

WEIGHT: 0.7 lbs

Winterial 11 piece is a cookware that can be used for both car camping and backpacking. It comes with a pot, a frying pan, a teapot, two bowls, a ladle, a spatula, a brush, a cutting board, and two lids. It has almost everything you need for camping.

My favorite thing about Winterial 11 piece is that it comes with a teapot, I personally am a big tea lover, I make tea almost in every two hours when I am outdoors and the teapot is a really convenient tool.

If you like to have every item in your kitchen with you and if you don’t mind using a little bit more space considering other cookwares, Winterial 11 Piece is perfect for you.

ProsCons
Accessories Included Not-Nonstick
Has a Teapot
Fold-Down Handles

Terra Hiker Camping Cookware

Terra Hiker Camping Cookware is extremely convenient considering its capacity and size. It has enough capacity for two-people camping. It comes with a pot, a frying pan, a teapot, two lids,  a foldable ladle, a spatula, and a cleaning sponge.

Both pot and the pan have fold-down handles that save a great amount of space and they are made with non-stick material. It is also cheaper than other camping cookware that has those features. If you are a tea lover who is looking for inexpensive, convenient camping cookware, Terra Hiker Camping Cookware is great for you.

ProsCons

Optimus Terra HE

WEIGHT: 1.58 lbs

CAPACITY: 1.75 lt

PACKED SIZE: Ø 8.26 x 4.52 in

Optimus Terra HE is a two-person cooking kit. It comes with two pots, both of them have measurement markings on it. One of my favorite thing about this kit that Its pan has ridges under it, which keeps it from sliding off the stove. It has only one portable handle with a robust design to use both on the pan and the pot.

The first pot is thinner and gets hot much quicker, which is great for boiling water in a little amount of time. The second pot is more sturdy and has a heat exchanger under it, this pot is made for making the meal instead of boiling water. The downside about this kit is that it doesn’t have a lid so it is not good for making complicated meals.

Note: If you also purchase Optimus stove, it’s stove head also has ridges which will catch the ridges under the pan which makes it extra hard to slide off the stove.

ProsCons
Doesn't Slide Off The Stove Easily Doesn't Have a Lid
Has Measurement Marks on The Pots Accessories Not Included
Convenient Portable Handle Design
Non-Stick Coated

Sea to Summit X-Series Set

WEIGHT: 1.34 lbs

CAPACITY: 2.8 lt

PACKED SIZE: Ø 8.4 x 1.6 in

Sea to Summit X-Series set is the most innovative camping cookware with its collapsible design. It comes with two bowls, two mugs, and a 2,8L pot. Every item in the cookware is collapsable, with its nesting design it saves a lot of space. 2,8L Pot has an anodized aluminum base, silicon walls, and silicon handles.

Even though it is great cookware it doesn’t come with a frying pan. If you don’t like to fry when you are camping then it is the most suitable camping cookware for you.

ProsCons
Collapsable Design Saves Great Amount Of Space Frying Pan is not Included
Great Capacity
Convenient Lid Design

MSR Quick 2 System

WEIGHT: 1.75 lbs                                                

CAPACITY: 4 lt (Both Pots Combined)     

PACKED SIZE: Ø 7.75 x 5 in

MSR Quick 2 System is the most convenient cookware designed for 2 people. It comes with one 1.5L Hard-anodized nonstick pot (for cooking), one 2.5L hard-anodized pot (for boiling), two insulated mugs, two plates, and one strainer lid.

MSR Quick 2 System has a greatly designed portable handle that can be used for both of the pots and it is also used for locking everything in place. It is a great gear for backpacking but if you need even smaller cookware we would recommend GSI Pinnacle Soloist.

ProsCons
Lightweight One Pot is not Nonstick

It is the only cooking kit that comes with a drying rack. Another plus is; it has a big spatula and a spoon, they both are unassembled to fit into the pot when packed, and assembling them is extremely easy.

My favorite thing about GSI Outdoors Bugaboo is its lid,  it is robust and versatile, it has a strainer side which makes it a lot easier to strain the water and cook pasta.
