- Features an innovative compact silicone pot gripper that fits over 2 fingers and allows you to lift the hot pot off of a stove by pinching 2 fingers and your thumb together

- Built-in magnet lets you set the gripper on a metal fuel canister (sold separately) for convenient storage while your water heats up
- Hard-anodized Halulite alloy distributes heat evenly for fast and efficient cooking and is extremely lightweight and abrasion resistant
- 2-way lid can be flipped over for use as either a pot top or a Sip-It lid
- Remove the pot from the stove and put it into the removable insulating sleeve to keep water warm and protect your hands while using the Sip-It lid to enjoy a hot beverage
- Telescoping Foon combines a fork with a spoon, thereby eliminating the need for a second utensil and saving precious weight
- Foon collapses down to 3.8 in. and expands to 6 in.; copolyester head and acetal handle are strong, heat-resistant and dishwasher safe

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
From the moment I opened the box and took out the bits and pieces, I was pleased with the quality of this GSI product. My only minor complaint would be about the spork. The spork head slides in and out on the handle to minimize size. When extended, it works fine, but The groves that allow it to slide out, also have some hidden nooks and crannies that tend to hold onto small food particles. I swapped mine out with a cleanly designed and still compact, "light my fire" spork. Otherwise, a brilliant bit of kit worthy of owning.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
Love this cookset so far, it fits nice in my Heli Pack 11L.
Inside it I have a Optimus Crux stove, a 110g Jetboil fuel canister, a Jetboil fuel canister stabilizer, GSI Foon, GSI Gripper, and I still have some room for a pack towel or something like that...
Everything fits together snug and does not rattle or make any noise.
The only thing I wish in the future, was that they might make this a .5L version. It could be smaller!
Also, wish there was measurements engraved on it somewhere...there isn't any.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
As a beginning minimalist hiker/backpacker, I was looking for a good starter cooking kit that would be relatively inexpensive and still provide the basics - namely hot water for cooking and coffee/tea. At under $30, the Halulite set was a perfect pick for me. Along with an Esbit stove and tablets (which all fit inside), the total weight was about 12.5 ounces. The finger hold is ingenius, but I don't know if the magnet is really necessary. The spork/foon was easy to use and seemed pretty durable, although I think it would need to be cleaned well along the channel to prevent food buildup.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
This is a great design combining pot and cup and the sleeve and sip lid allowed one to drink from it without burning one's lips, but I had a couple of problems:
1) The sleeve is the same color as the pot so it is easy to forget it is on. (I burn't an outside layer after doing this once)
2) While it is easy to put in the sleeve (which is great when you have boiling water in it) it is very hard to take the sleeve off. This is a problem say when you forget the sleeve is on and you put water in it, and then have to take it off trying not to spill the water before putting it on the stove.
3) The lid is hard to take off, and it is hard to drink the last bit of coffee with it on. Have to be careful not to spill the coffee all over yourself taking the lid off.
It is great if you want to just boil a bit of water, which I did on this particulair trip with long nights and cold weather. Except for when I need to melt snow, I usually don't bother with a stove, so this was a very speical use for me.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
This is a great cook set to go with my MSR micro rocket. All I do when I cook dinner is boil water for mountain house meals and this little pot does a great job. I really like the cozy that slips over the pot. I've found that it is much easier to pour out boiling water if you out the pot into the cozy then pour. Trying to pour while using the orange pot gripper is difficult and the steam from the pot burns your hands. The cosy also turns the pot into a cup for my morning coffee. Overall great product and it's not that expensive.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
This is an ingenious little setup that I've been using now for over a year with some 40 nights spent in the backcountry. I'm a minimalist and when I get into camp at night I just want to boil two cups of water, add to a Mountain House or other freeze dried meal, wait ten minutes, and hop in the sack. In the morning I repeat except I boil more water for my Starbucks Via coffee. If you're my kind of camp cook then it doesn't get any better than this. I have a Soto stove which I place in the pot on top of a fuel cannister which sits on top of the little orange grabber. I've also used a Snowpeak stove and it too works well. Some complained about not being able to use the pouch for the soto stove. My question is why would you want to carry the extra two ounces? When boiling water I never put the lid on tight, just rest it loosely on the pot and it does the job. I've tried a lot of different setups and believe me this is the ONE. Oh, I forgot, I don't use the included spoon/fork as I have a titanium spoon/fork that is just as light and a lot toughter.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
This cookset is all I need. Works great on my pocket rocket. I'm not cooking big meals on the trail... just heating water for coffee, tea, and dehydrated meals, and again, this is all I'll ever need.
I would consider my "gear style" to be a mix of minimalist and comfort driven. For this cookset though; I wanted light, simple, and small.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
Used this kit for the first time this weekend on an overnight backpacking trip in Southern Indiana. I cooked for two, using it to boil water for freeze dried meals. The lid is a great feature, helping to boil the water quicker and keeping coffee warm in the morning. I like the pot gripper/coozie combo better than a pot handle, as it takes up less space in the bag and the coozie helps protect it in your pack. They advertise being able to store a pocket stove inside it with the fuel canister, but I think it's limited to very few super-small stoves. I use a MSR Pocket Rocket, and it's too long to fit. Not a big deal though, as I use the extra space to store small stuff like a lighter, instant coffee packets, etc. Only downside I saw was that the underside of the foon seems to collect bits of food in the track where the foon slides up and down, but cleaned up fairly well in the field.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist Cookset:
This is THE pot to have for minimalist backpacking. The whole setup weighs in at around 6 ounces and it works quite well. First off I can put in my soto stove (in it's bag), a jetboil canister, the pot gripper, and the foon. The trick is to put the pot gripper under the fuel canister by the way. The lid fits on very tight and holds in everything well, plus its great to sip hot drinks out of. the lid can be tricky to get off, it is best to hold the cup with both hands and push the plastic part with both thumbs. The pot gripper and neoprene sleeve work quite well and are a lot easier to use than I thought, just pick up the boiling water, drop it in the sleeve and you can immediately handle the pot. you can only really boil about 2 cups of water with it, I don't recommend using the lid with two cups of water as it boiled over the second it boiled, I just boil the water without the lid. Overall, it's a great addition to my backpacking gear, highly reccommended.
