The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I bought this set a long time ago, but I only managed to test it the other day, so I'm writing in hot pursuit. I was looking for a set for cooking for 4-6 people on a gas stove and among inexpensive sets, the choice is downright small. In this set, in principle, everything is balanced, the price / functionality is very good. Pleased with the thickness of the walls, not foil, does not bend at the slightest load. Outside, they are well painted, inside the coating is unlikely to last long, I already noticed a scratch in the kettle from plastic dishes dangling there, or an iron ladle handle :( A large pot - 4l, it is convenient to store and draw water from a reservoir, the handle is long, fixed in the upper position. Boil in such water on a gas stove - so-so idea, it will take a very long time. But like a bucket - just right. Kettle-ladle - 3l, handles do not bend when fully loaded, enough to cook soup or porridge for 5-6 people. I noticed sticky food in places, it was washed off easily. The pan was pleased with the size, diameter 21cm, height 5cm. You can easily fry, fry vegetables, a couple of medium-sized steaks will fit in. The non-stick coating is so-so, it sticks a little, but it is easy to clean. The lid is from a 4l pot The kettle is small at first glance (with a spout measuring 18×9 cm), but a liter of water fits into it, enough tea for 4 people. It boils on gas for about 5 minutes. The handle is covered with silicone, heats up weakly. 2 large plastic plates - norms for cutting vegetables, bread and other food for the company. Small "plates" - it's not clear why, very small, perhaps they were thought of as cups in general :) a ladle - will help out for lack of a better one, far from ideal. The spatula is quite working, compact, it is normal to interfere with frying. Sponge - well, there is and is, I did not use it. In general, I am satisfied with the set, for cooking on gas it will come in handy for sure. for a campfire kitchen - it is better to take something simpler, without any coatings and plastic handles.

Pros
  • adequate volume of pots, large frying pan, comfortable handles, decent wall thickness. in general, the quality pleased, the lid from a large pot is suitable for a frying pan. water from the kettle pours perfectly, it’s very pleasant, smooth :) comfortable handles for a 3-liter pot and pan, because of the ribs they don’t slip when held, the material is similar to bakelite - they don’t heat up. Everything conveniently folds up like a nesting doll, there is a good (flimsy, but not for her to play football) bag for storage. The kit includes a 2L teapot, added new photos.
Cons
  • not very comfortable handles at the lids (you need to get used to how to pick them up so as not to get burned), besides, they are unscrewed, you need to tighten them up. "plates" of toy size, their volume will be enough only for sauces :) or instead of cups. the non-stick coating is purely nominal, the food is not strong, but sticks when cooked. I would like a teapot at least 1.5L (if you donate large plates, then the maximum size will fit 18 × 11.5 cm - this is already a 2L teapot! ). I also don’t really like that the teapot rests against the wall of the pan with its spout, 100% will scratch the coating.
