Bulin 24/13/11/8/4 PCS Camping Cookware Mess Kit Lightweight Backpacking Cooking Set Outdoor Cook Gear for Family Hiking, Picnic(Kettle, Pot, Frying Pan, Bowls, Plates, Spoon)

I live in my van and have very limited space, so portability and efficiency matter a lot. This cooking set reminds me of a Swiss Army knife for meals—it has everything I need in one compact package. The pans actually work well on a burner, which was a pleasant surprise, and everything packs away neatly once I’m finished cooking. Pros: Excellent for small spaces and van life setups Includes multiple useful utensils in one kit Innovative, space-saving design Pans function properly on a burner Packs up cleanly and stays organized when stored Great overall value for what you get Cons: Long-term durability of the pans is still unknown Performance may change after extended use Overall Verdict: So far, this set is getting the job done and delivering great value—especially for anyone living in a van, camping, or working with limited kitchen space. The combination of portability, versatility, and smart design is where this product really shines. Even if durability becomes a question down the line, the value and convenience make this a worthwhile purchase.

This was a BIG HIT with my Boy Scout grandson! He is part of the organization and cooking group of his troop! Additionally the family are campers! The photo shows the size of the set. The set is lightweight, making it very portable! It folds and stores easily - it’s a well thought out design! And it is a quality set! This set will be used regularly! Great find!!

I purchased this set and another, almost identical set from another manufacturer for the same price in order to compare them side by side. Both sets included almost identical products, similar bags, etc. the differences being minor details. This set was advertised as having 7 large plates, 7 small plates and 6 bowls (all lightweight, BPA-free plastic). The other set came instead with 6 plates, 6 sets of silverware ( knife, fork, spoon) and 6 8-ounce glasses (all stainless steel, cups have silicon sleeves). The good: This set was lighter weight by 2 1/2 pounds. The lids on this set are superior in design and construction compared to the other set, as is the much more robust and sturdy bracket which holds the handle to the biggest (4l) pan. The kettle in this set is larger, holding approximately one cup more liquid. The bag on this set is also of superior quality and construction. The not so good: This set DID NOT include 7 each of the large and small plates, rather it is 7 total, 3 large (9inch) and 4 small (8 inch) plates. The pans on this set are 1/2 to 1 mm thinner than on the other set (making them slightly lighter in weight and less robust overall), and the handles are looser and have more play (with the exception of the largest pan). In conclusion: still a good value, construction is acceptable and arrived promptly. I am deducting a star for billing it in the description as having 7 of each type of plate instead of seven total. I have not field tested either set yet, but will update my review once I do, and will be posting head-to-head comparison videos of each set, both on initial impressions and another of field tests when I get the chance.

Excellent used with My Hori5 stove Soak after use for easy cleanup. Compact for bookbag No burn.

I am not a hiker, I used this simply for camping. I wanted something that took up less space in my camping supplies than traditional kitchen essentials. Camping with 4 kids takes up a lot of space simply in sleeping bags, so a compact solution was my desire. The pans were just big enough for practical use, and small enough to prevent food wastage due to making too much. The ladel was perfect for measuring pancake batter. The bowls...well, if you only eat a 1/4 cup of soup, or are a toddler, they would work. pots and pans were great, dishes and bowls, they "work" but I wished there were more of the larger ones and fewer of the smaller ones. A separate set of plates and bowls are on my list for next time, they were just too small, especially for the adults and larger kids. They'd work if there were no other options. Everything cleaned up and stored away nicely for use next time. So, I would rate this as a great set for a family with small kids, or those who don't mind going back for seconds and thirds. Nice set that I will continue to use for each camping trip from here on out.

This is my very first negative review on Amazon, 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.

Exactly what was described

I use these in my home as well as camping. They have held up very well with moderate use. Being able to fit items in others like a Russian doll makes storing incredibly easy and efficient. I have yet to use the dishes. I'm sure their good. Them being white. I'd wash asap to prevent staining. The pan is just big enough to get 2 large chicken breast halves in with little extra room. Room enough to flip at least. The handles are a bit loose. Doesn't impede performance though. When cooking place one side of the handle in the other (like clasping your fingers). That seems to keep it rigid and more sturdy. I've not used the kettle. Everything else working so well. I'm sure it does to.
