When you're travelling light and pack space is at a premium, you'll appreciate the light weight and compact dimensions of the Explore Cookset. It comprises two bowls and a saucepan that nest together and fit into a mesh bag for easy storage. The saucepan has a foldable, locking handle, a lid and a non-stick coating for easy cleaning, and the whole kit weighs just 765g.
We've used this cookset on our last few trips and it's pretty good.
It packs away neatly, the small pan and lid fit inside the large pan and the frying pan fits on the bottom (it's handle folds under) then there is a strap to hold it all together and a bag to put it in.
The pans are a little on the small side but are adequate for our needs. The small pan has a pouring spout on the rim which is good if you make hot chocolate or warm milk in it. Each pan having it's own handle is another nice feature that you don't always get.
All in all a good little cookset.
In the bag
We had a set that looked just like this, but was called 'Campart' for 7 or 8 years, and found it excellent, though it was rather fiddly to fasten together when packing.
When it eventually became a bit battered, we looked around and were attracted by what seemed a similar set, packed in a handy bag. Unfortunately, we did not check inside the bag, and found it very disappointing. There was one detachable handle, and the small frying pans doubled up as saucepan lids. This meant that you could not use a covered pan at the same time as frying, and involved a lot of juggling with hot unstable pans - not what you want camping.
We have now found this one which is just like our old faithful set, but even has a carrying bag to make it complete. If you choose carefully, you will be able to get a camping kettle which fits inside this set, so that you can cook beans, fry sausages, and make a cup of tea at the same time. Bon appetit!
