Revainrating 4 out of 5

There are a few hiccups to sort out, but overall a decent set

- Made in China - This has been a popular item with overseas AliBaba resellers lately. Sets in all sizes. Don't forget to check the price - fork is ok, sharp enough but not too sharp - knife is not serrated but has a bit of a sharp edge, that's ok - spoon is decent enough but edges are a bit rough. It's more like a tablespoon in size - Spork is a bit odd to me. With a wooden mini spatula and ladle, you don't really need it β€” a 1-inch piece of loofah is fine, but very rough on a non-stick coating that's very, very thin β€” the ladle is labeled recyclable, but it doesn't give code. It says it's polypropylene so check if you need it - The larger lid fits the pot but it's too small for the pan. However, it can serve as a splash guard - All the plastic sleeves on the handles are flimsy. This gives some insulation, of course, but if you cook over the fire they melt quickly. -put-yOk All metal objects have a slider that should lock them in the open position. The problem was that only one worked for the plug, I can't move the rest. Also notice in the picture I took that the fork slider doesn't have a flange so it would be useless if I could lower it by the handle. Huge pot, big frying pan, decent kettle (for camping), 2 cups but 1 with et utensils? Speaking of cups, regular size. Thick and fairly durable silicone, but vulnerable to destruction. The good thing about silicone is that you can hold its shape and still be flexible enough to compress. Good for packing. The bad news is that silicone is a natural attractant to any lint, hair or lint within a 5 mile radius. and at least matte. It folds back into its pocket, it just needs to periodically compress the trapped air. It's ok - big enough, quite thin but seems to really repel water. This is one of the most complete sets. They usually have a stove but the type they always have is completely useless so I'm glad that didn't happen. It's decent enough for camping but too big for hiking (1 person). This will go into my survival supplies, which can also be used for camping. That's too much for BOB again, but would be nice for hidden caches.
