Comments about GSI Outdoors nFORM Crossover Kitchen Kit:
Great set. Everything that is in it is cool except for the spice container.
The spice container and the bag everything comes in are over designed and way too heavy for their functions. I took a star off for that, tossed the spice container and put everything else into a lightweight bag.
Otherwise, the set is good for car camping. I wouldn't really recommend this for backpacking unless you are doing glamour backpacking and splitting gear among friends.

Comments about GSI Outdoors nFORM Crossover Kitchen Kit:
We just used this kit for the first time (car camping) and it worked out great. the utensils were great, although there is potential for melting if you are not careful. It held everything we needed to cook. We did not use the salt/peper shakek nor the other containers it came with. The cutting board is small, but for veggies it works out fine. If you are trying to filet a big fish, you could have problems.
there is plenty of room to add your own containers, gadgets, or small knife.

This set is really nice to have for car camping and cooking bigger meals. Very durable and packs up nicely with room for adding forks, spoons, etc. Small enough to take back packing but I'm not sure you would need it.

Comments about GSI Outdoors nFORM Crossover Kitchen Kit:
First of all-these tools are plastic, which for the most part means direct contact with flame or sustained pressure on hot objects will eventually melt them. If you are picking stuff out of a fire or turning it on a grill over a fire, bring metal tools. But with that out of the way, I absolutely love this kit. Being the camp chef, this kit is phenomenally well thought out. Excellent design and immensely useful items included. How I cooked in camp for decades without tongs is a mystery.
True, the cutting board is too small to be all that useful, but its a good addition, and you can use it as a base for a fuel canister. The bag itself is my favorite part of this whole thing. A half-circle with plenty extra room at the top allows you to absolutely cram it with tools and it still easily fits into a bear can-it fits perfectly in any of the large mouth models or in a cooking pot. I added a whisk, MSR spoon/tool, a compact fixed-blade knife, two extra GSI spice containers, lighters, match case, bandana and it all still fits. Genius.
All that being said, I usually don't bring this backpacking as I like to travel pretty minimally. But for car camping, kayak/canoe camping or backpacking with 3+ people, this can't be beat.

The only complaint I have is the price. I am a fan of GSI Outdoors products and think this one is about $10 too much.
Otherwise...
love the pivot; surprisingly sturdy and stable; bottles for soap and oils are great addition; only got a 2 section spice holder, not four as described; Very compact and light. Overall, a good buy.

Comments about GSI Outdoors nFORM Crossover Kitchen Kit:
I was looking for a light weight, compact kitchen utensil set. When I received this I was doubtful that it could withstand solid use. The tongs was a true fail. After two weeks of almost daily use the "teeth" on the tongs have been reduced to nubs. They have melted from being exposed to flame of the open fire while cooking. The edge of the spatula melted slightly too. It was used to flip burgers and pancakes. The small cutting board was a cute addition but if you are looking for something multifunctional I doubt cute is a concern. I wouldn't say the set is a total loss but if given the opportunity to repurchase I would have to pass. It is definately not worth the price!

I do small group backpacking and this works perfect for me. It has not failed in any manner. I did add a wisk to the kit. I did compare the other brands and after a lot of research I found this was a good quality product for the best price.

This is a wonderful addition to anyone's camp kitchen! The scrub pad is just big enough for a ladies hand & dries quickly. The bag everything comes in even has additional room to hold my sporks. I can imagine if you were backpacking this would be a great tool kit to have and its extremely lightweight.

A Great Kit, excelent for 3 or more people where they need to cook & serve large quantities of food. The only additions I made was to add a small can opener (P-38), cheese grater, & small chopping knife.
