Excited for this Cookset for Two
Traveling Neko9 years ago
Going on a motorcycle trip to Alaska this June and we'll be limited in what we can carry in just 3 cases. I felt it was high time we got a backpacking cookset so we will be ready for backpack camping. I wanted a pot and a pan, cups were ok to have, and plates. Although this set doesn't come with plates, as soon as I realized the diameter of the whole kit was ~8", I knew I had a solution already: kid's plates from Ikea! They are BPA-free, dishwasher and microwave safe, and sturdy. The kit arrived today and I was able to fit two plates (the colors match!) and I could probably fit more! These plates are super inexpensive for a set of 6. I will review again once we actually put this set up to a test run next weekend (motorcycle camping in Eastern OR).

NOT FOR BACKPACKING!
Hiking55612 years ago
This is a great cook set dont get me wrong, there is alot that you get for your money. but the problem is in the name, "bagaboo backpacker" this is not a cookset for backpacking, not at all while its not the heavest cookset ive seen it is bulky and will take up alot of presious space in your pack. If you are a person looking for somthing to take car camping, or just someone that likes to cook in the outdoors this is a good set. But if your looking at somthing for your pack I would look elsewhere. Dont be fooled by the name.

The fact that it fits all in the pot is my favorite part. The bowls allow for some extra storage (small stove, matches, baggies of seasoning, etc.). I also like that the bowls have measurement markings in them; it can be really important if you're in a predicament with water or if you just happen to be a precise cook. The wash basin works great. Even though the handle gets rather hot after a some time over a fire, I still give the set 5 stars. Besides you could just get a miniature pot holder and stuff it one of the mugs or bowls. It's relatively light, easy to clean, easy to organize, and the basin makes carrying larger amounts of water less of a burden.

The Gourmet yet really minimalist setup
9 years ago
Well, I discard the cups so that I can keep the fuel and burner internally. The stackable system could only be better if it was 2-3cm in diameter smaller so that it could fit in a BearBox. The package is NON-STICK, which makes it 100% better than JetBoil options, all of which I've returned. The simplicity means longer boiling times but I simply will pay for fresh fuel on each trip, and on each trip I'll never use an entire fuel supply, so there's no rush!!!! The pan is excellent, so is the pot (I use both at home too) and the lid is superb. Excellent for heat retention and draining pasta etc. My only advice to GSI would be to supply an extra handle. If you;re switching pot and pan in a hurry when cooking up your dinner the cookware is too hot to handle so switching the handle from one to the other means some burnt fingers.

Good 2 person cookset

The ridges on the bottom of the pot and pan are well pronounced so even on a slant, the pot stays put on the stove. The lid is great - has holes for straining and really retains the heat well. The straps to keep the set together slip sometimes but that's really only if you pick it up by them and carry it around, not a big deal but can be frustrating when quickly trying to pack up. It takes a couple times of putting the handle on and off before you get the hang of it but it's VERY sturdy once you do! All in all, great set.

A Good Set for Canoe Camping

I've carried this set on a couple of BWCA solo trips and have been very satisfied with the results. The MSR Windpro stove is a good match for the size of the pot and frypan. Heat distribution is good without hotspots that burn frying fish or pancakes. The strainer top should not be used with the frypan since IT WILL MELT. Don't ask... All in all it's a good set and one that will do its job within its parameters.

Great Set for Two

I received this set for Father's Day and have given it a couple tests since then. Very pleased with everything. I am using the GSI 4 Season Pinnacle stove and the combination is amazing. This set heats up fast. Nonstick works like it's supposed to. Boiled water much faster then expected. Perfect set to get you a frying pan and a good sized pot for two. If you are thinking about this set, buy it. You will be very happy you did. Not to mentioning the nesting ability for storage and travel.

Buy an extra handle
9 years ago
My only complaint about this cook set is that it needed an extra handle. Thankfully when I went into rei the sales associate told me that they do not sell them but the manufacturers website carries replacement handles. I bought one and it is so much easier. We only use it for car camping, not backpacking, as the name suggests. Easy cleanup, as everything is non stick. I do use the carrying case that comes with it as a "sink" as it suggests.

The Bugaboo Backpacker effectively conqueres a serving of macaroni and cheese for my wife and I at dinner time, and combined with our jetboil stove had no problem maintaining a boil. The straining lid is much appreciated (easing the job of draining pasta, a regular dinner for us on the trail). Having 4 cups is great (two of which are insulated). We had coffee in the insulated and oatmeal in the non-insulated. Also handy is the locking handle that fits the pot or pan. Earlier review that states this is not for backpacking may mean "not for one person". I agree that it is bulky to carry, and when I go by myself, I stick to the jetboil kit alone. That being said, when your numbers increase, it's akin to taking a 2 man tent. one person carries the stove, the other carries the cookset. The kit is easy to clean with the non-stick coating. Well worth the price for what you get, and my greatest remark about this kit is that it does not rattle when you walk, as everything fits snuggly in the kit, including an added micro fleece towel I carry for drying dishes and hands. Definitely a good value cook set.

My only complaint is that the detachable handle is a little difficult to go back and forth between the pot and the frying pan while cooking with both of them.
