Review on 🍳 Optimus 8019743 Crux Weekend HE Non-stick Cook System - Enhanced for Better Cooking by Marc Hawkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good, light, efficient stove

Nice stove and pot. Very light weight. With good sturdy handles on the pot and pan I'm concerned about the heating fins at the bottom though, if dropped at the right angle they can crush so I made a chiusi to protect it in my backpack. The folding stove has a nice design, it is hidden under the fuel canister and everything is packed nicely and neatly. Another potential problem is that the furnace head (in the locked position) rotates nearly a millimeter to one side or the other, so placement on a flat surface is a must to avoid liquid burns. The cooker's legs are sharp and hold the pan securely. As long as you use a little foresight, this cooking system should last a very long time.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared
