GSI - Stainless Steel Base Cook Set (Medium)
Introduction GSI Outdoors is a fairly popular company specializing in camping equipment. From car and RV camping to the more extremes of backpacking, the company has products fit for your needs. The company seems to be a good balance between quality and price. The products will last a good amount of time and they won't break the bank, but they are top of the line and likely fall behind other brands if you are trying to pack ultralight for a backpacking trip. In the future, more of their products might be reviewed here, but for now the Medium sized Stainless Steel Cook Set is all I have incorporated into my homemade car camping kitchen. |
Key Features
The biggest and most obvious feature that this set has to boast about is it's ability to "nest" all items into a single unit slightly bigger than the large 3 liter pot. Now this is common for backpacking and some camping cooksets, but for this price point, it is a great step up from the old pots you have lying around in your kitchen. The entire cookset is made out of 18/8 stainless steel which allows it to live a long life, rust free in your camping rotation. There are also orange silicone wraps on handles an pads on the lids for safe touchpoints when holding the cookset, which is a huge plus when you are out in the woods (sometimes I've had to use a random item of clothing with other cook sets). |
Conclusion
In all honesty my "con" was a stretch with this item and there really isn't anything I've had to complain about. The cookset gets the job done and doesn't try to be too fancy. I would say you wcan purchase these with confidence and expect them to last a long time for many years of outdoor excursions.
