Sea to Summit Frontier Ultralight Two Pot Cook Set - 6 Piece

Excellent new pot set! Did a 2 day overnight backpack trip on the Appalachian Trail with my niece and nephew. Great weight for all that is in there, and I love that everything fits inside the pot. That feature is super convenient and space saving when backpacking. I would definitely recommend you try this set!

Upon receiving the 6 piece Sea to Summit Frontier Cook Set – everything about it suggests top quality. The packaging is robust and signifies that high quality gear is within. I took set on a 3 day/2 night kayak camping trip I was leading for a group of 11 people. I shared the kit with the group to get their impressions as well.At less than 2 lbs (1lb 13oz) this set offers a very high value for the weight being carried. Admittedly, this was a kayak camping trip, so weight is not that big of a factor, volume is more important. The set fit easily within my kayak.The new Click-Safe handle design is brilliant although some people seemed to struggle with it at first. It is actually really simple to use and really makes the pot feel like a one-piece pot – super sturdy. ... MoreUpon receiving the 6 piece Sea to Summit Frontier Cook Set – everything about it suggests top quality.

It is actually really simple to use and really makes the pot feel like a one-piece pot – super sturdy. The 2L and 3L sizes give you plenty of flexibility to prepare just about anything in the wilderness. While the strainer lids are becoming standard on outdoor cookware, they are integral to the frontier lids and worked really well for draining pasta. The addition of the Sea to Summit Frontier Ultralight Pan would make this a comprehensive cook set.The pots cooked food nicely and seemed to have good heat distribution. I used the 3L to mix a cake mix that I was baking in a dutch oven and used a metal wisk to mix it. There were no marks at all on the inside of the pot – suggesting a very robust no-stick coating that will not scratch easily.The inclusion of two nice bowls and covered cups is really nice. We used both the bowls and the cups on this trip. Although very light, they are sturdy and were easy to hold with hot food in them. The spill proof lids on the cups are a nice feature and the cups did well for both morning coffee and evening wine.One comment/observation a number of people had (including the author) was that it would be nice if the set came in a bag (mesh or otherwise) to protect the outside of the 3L pot. The other comment I received from a few people is it was a little hard to see the graduation numbers inside the pot (maybe make them bigger for the next generation?).All in all, this is a fantastic set that will delight the outdoor chef. It is well thought out and the new Click-Safe handle design is a winner – really makes it feel like a solid one piece pot. A thought on a bag – maybe Sea to Summit could list the recommended Ultra-Sil or Big River dry bag size as part of the product description?Thanks again Sea to Summit for manufacturing well thought out, high quality gear!
