MalloMeCamping Cookware Mess Kit for Backpacking Gear – Camping Cooking Set - Camping Pots and Pans Set - Backpacking Stove/Portable Stove Compatible - Camp Kitchen Equipment Accessories Pot

At the point of writing this review I have had this for several years now. I love it! It's nice for single person meal production, the little pot will easily make a packet of ramen while using the pan to saute some veg to put in it. My set is still going strong, I've used it while touching grass in the great outdoors & I've used it in the house on the stove top, they are almost just as cute today as the day they arrived. My one complaint is with the handles, I feel that they should snap into place or there should be some sort of hook system so they are easier to manage while cooking. They also fit easily into my pack & add negligible weight. The included bowls are a touch small, but if you choose to use them it's not like you can't get seconds LOL.

These pans are very small they're to put in a knapsack. They're very well made should be easy to use and easy to clean but I bought them for the size and they're exactly what I wanted they're nice and light. I would buy them again

I sent this to Adam w/MalloMe, but have yet to receive a response.I have yet to actually use the MalloMe cookware, but plan to test it in the coming days/weeks. However, I do have a few comments/concerns.1) Probably the most disappointing issue is the weight of the cookware set. Because I'm in the process of planning to thru-hike the PCT next year (2017), with various training hikes this year, a major concern is carry weight. The advertised weight was the primary reason that I purchased this cookware set. The second factor was that this set included a frying pan (a plus).The advertisement on here on Amazon claims equal weights for shipping and actual weight. Unfortunately, both are far from accurate. The claim of 0.7 pounds (11.2 ounces) is inaccurate! Using a quality, approved, digital postal scale the measured weights are as follows:Skillet = 4.0 ozPot = 4.8 ozLid = 1.8 oz(2) plastic bowls = 1.4 ozWooden spoon = 0.5 ozSoup Spoon = 1.0 ozSpork = 1.0 ozBag = 0.8 ozLoofah = <0.0 oz------------------------------This total alone adds up to 15.3 ounces. Yes, when backpacking long distances, EVERY ounce matters!I will not carry/use the included soup spoon, spork, or loofa and that brings the carry weight down to ~13.2 ounces, still over the advertised weight. PLEASE CORRECT.2) The pot arrived with a small dent on the bottom (from the inside out). Not a big deal, and I'm honestly not worried about it, but felt I should mention it for your own (Adam's) records when it comes to the manufacturing facility you use.3) I'm not sure why loofah is included in comparison to a small, finish compatible scouring pad. I removed the loofah from the kit and purchased a 10-pack of 3-3/4" x 5-3/4" light duty scouring pads for $1.00 at the local dollar store. These are easily cut in half (or quarters) to provide 20-40 individual pads for the cookware set at $0.025 to 0.050 each. These are easier to use when cleaning the smaller pieces of the cookware set, hold less moisture, and clean easier.Benefits:The price is right, and the quality (prior to testing) seems adequate. The weight is still quite good.------------------------ Suggestions1) Please correct the posted weights in the advertising2) Please provide volumes for each item:--- Pot = ~24oz / 3 cups--- Skillet = ~12 oz / 1.5 cups (nearly at the top)--- Bowls = ~one level cup3) Replace the loofah with a small scouring pad (allows better cleaning and more room)4) Replace the two tapered bowls with two slightly larger, unequal-sized bowls (and possibly a lightweight neoprene cozy for each) that fit inside each other and inside the pot together.4.1) This change could "hopefully" allow for fitting a 220g fuel canister inside. This would be a huge space-saving benefit!5) Modify the storage bag to where it can hold water, providing a sink function for easy cookware cleaning.6) Consider a cozy for the pot.Most of these suggestions are based upon prior experiences, while also comparing to features offered by the considerably more expensive GSI Outdoors cooksets.

I’ve been taking the MalloMe Camping Cookware Mess Kit (2L Pot) out on a few camping trips, and it’s been a reliable, no-fuss option for whipping up meals in the wild. If you’re a backpacker or camper looking for an affordable, lightweight cooking set, this one’s got a lot going for it.What’s to Like: This 10-piece kit is a steal at $20-$30, packing everything you need for solo or duo camping meals: a 2L anodized aluminum nonstick pot, pot cover, nonstick frying pan, two BPA-free bowls, a folding stainless steel spork, a soup spoon, a wooden spatula, a cleaning sponge, and a nylon drawstring carry bag. The 2L pot is perfect for cooking for one or two people—think soups, pasta, or rehydrated meals—and the nonstick coating makes cleanup a breeze with just soap and water (no dishwasher, though). The whole kit collapses into a compact bundle, with the pan nesting inside the pot and accessories tucked inside, fitting easily into a backpack or bug-out bag. Amazon reviews praise its portability, with one user noting, “Ideal size to cook for 2, lightweight and really durable material”. The anodized aluminum conducts heat well, and I boiled water in about 5-6 minutes on a portable stove, which is decent for a budget set. It’s compatible with most backpacking stoves, like MalloMe’s own or a pocket rocket, and the included sponge is a thoughtful touch for keeping things tidy.Standout Features: The folding handles on the pot and pan are a big win—they hug the sides tightly, saving space and preventing rattles in your pack. The carry bag is sturdy enough to keep everything together, and the 2L pot capacity is just right for a small group, as one reviewer said, “The pot’s capacity is great for two people, and it nestles perfectly with the skillet”. The wooden spatula is surprisingly handy for flipping food without scratching the nonstick surface, and the BPA-free bowls are lightweight, though small (think fast-food side dish size). The kit’s durability is solid for the price, with no dents or warping after a few trips, and it’s a great value for scouts, hikers, or anyone building a budget-friendly camp setup.The Downsides: It’s not without flaws. The nonstick coating is decent but not as slick as high-end sets like MSR’s Fusion Ceramic, and one user warned that eggs can stick if you don’t use oil. The bowls are tiny—more suited for sides than big meals—and the soup spoon feels a bit flimsy for heavy stirring. The kit lacks a latch or band to secure the nested pieces, so the carry bag does most of the work, but it’s not as tight as some would like. A few Amazon reviews mentioned the handles getting hot, so you’ll need a cloth or glove for safety. Compared to pricier options like GSI Pinnacle, the aluminum is thinner, so it’s less durable for heavy use and not ideal for even cooking of delicate foods like eggs. Also, it’s hand-wash only, which is standard for camping gear but a hassle if you’re used to dishwashers

Just got back from a backpacking trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The size is perfect for 1 adult and I love the little spatula and spoon that come with it. The mini scrubber is perfect for backcountry cleaning. Great purchase!

Good brand. Great for backpacking
