Review on 24-Piece Camping Cookware Mess Kit - Lightweight Backpacking Cooking Set For Family Hiking & Picnic. by Mike Sevenfourgd

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looked perfect, but didn't work out

This is my very first negative review on Revain, but I just wanted people to be aware of somethings before purchasing this set. We bought this for our camping trip with hopes of backpacking soon. After reading some reviews, we thought it would be perfect! We ended up using it only 2 days out of the 3 day trip because we were super annoyed by it. I'm giving it 3 stars because in the end, it is a set of lightweight pots/pans for backpacking with everything pictured. I'm docking 2 points for size and not being very efficient.PROS:- Lightweight! You could easily take this backpacking.- Everything does stack nicely in a convenient carry bag.CONS:- We're a family of 4 + a baby. Only 2 of us went camping and the pots/pans were on the smaller side. I'm not sure how this is for 2-4 people. The family next to us had a different "backpacking" set like this for 2-4 people and their pots/pans were significantly bigger.- The tea kettle turns BLACK. We have a coleman stove, so I'm not sure why it kept doing this. That wasn't the annoying part though.the annoying part was it turned EVERYTHING black. We have buckets for our "sink" and those were black, our hands would turn black, our sponge turned black, which turned everything else black. I had to keep rewashing things. We kept the tea kettle wrapped in paper towels to prevent other things from getting black.-The bowls are WAY too small. They're the same size as a sauce dipping bowl at a restaurant.- Our food stuck to each pot/pan. We used olive oil for squash, eggs, and tried cooking Spam. We even tried "seasoning" the pan after we noticed everything sticking, but that didn't work. It was frustrating.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction ensures that it withstands many years of use
Cons
  • The pot lid is not vented
