Stanley Cook Sets: Side-By-Side Comparison - Cooking and Serving Comprehensive Kits!

[@short-hand4312]

that small cooker with the 2 cups, I use as a popcorn popper. works very well and makes a good single serving.

[@rogerclift2705]

Just a heads up. The “B 21” and “C 21” are the manufacturer dates. Letter is the quarter of the year. B = 2nd quarter, C=3rd quarter. 21 is the year

I've become a Stanleyaholic the past couple of years, always well thought out, quality built, price is always right...

[@outerlimitless]

They definitely make some super nice stuff...it's HEAVY but quality.

Me too. Now I don’t feel so bad

[@sleddy01]

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I use my large base camp pot on the fire for large amounts of warm water, to make tea, coffee, wash dishes. I use the skillet more for cooking. I have the Stanley two bowl and pan set. The pan is a great size snd I love the spatula and ladle. Use the bowls more than the plates. The lids for the bowls I use to prep food on then to cover the food when there are thieving birds around trying to steal what I’m cooking up.

[@piedmontsailing4906]

My biggest complaint is that I need a couple items from one set and a couple items from the other set. You can't buy them individually so I'd be stuck buying both sets and only using a couple pieces from each. If I could get just the "sauce pan" from the larger set I'd be a happy camper.

As an owner of them all, I agree... had to do it. They know what they're doing...

[@pamelaklemp5615]

I'm a STANLEY COOKWARE collector. I believe that I now own every different cook set they make, some I have duplicates. But those two sets I've held off buying because they are so large for just my husband and myself. That said, after your awesome review I believe the "even heat" set would be a great addition to my collection. I can also see myself using that set in my Motorcoach for weekender trips to Daytona and NASCAR Tailgating. Thanks for a great in-depth, easy to understand review.

[@nana-yl5wx]

Question: If you took the 4 plates and bowls and sporks out of the base camp set could they all fit packed in the PRO set? I want the PRO set and or plus the plate and bowl set all in one contained setup.

[@James-ke5sx]

Top quality products. Good for emergency situations as well. I keep a double pot, frying pan, water bottle and the two cups pot in my emergency kits. My regular pots and pans take up too much energy to cook over a propane Coleman stove. These are much better option plus you can take them with you. I am a single person so these pots are a bit too big for me. I see they came up with a 1 L pot which I might check out.

[@brainfreeze1925]

I bought the adventure set a couple of years ago at Sail in Whitby and it's worked really well for me when back country canoeing (& portaging) and car camping. It's adds extra weight to our packs when portaging and it's a bit small for car camping . . . the average is perfect! The base for both pan and pot are quite thick which is more than I expected. I've used them both over the fire, my Kelly Kettle, and my old school Coleman stove. (It does get a bit blackened over the fire and KK.) We replaced the cutlery with a better KFS set (I don't like sporks). We use the large spoon and spatula. We don't use the dish rack as a dish rack but we usually use the other items as intended. We were looking for a super lightweight set but they are super expensive. The Stanley was the heaviest but it was the largest, most durable, and most extensive. A really good bang for your loonie/buck/quid. I'd definitely buy it again.

[@tempebailey9706]

I have 2 of the smaller Stanley kits, road tested for 6 months of car camping. Countless fire's and meal's, great products!!

[@activepuck2225]

As someone who can’t camp as often as I’d like the Base is a good value, especially getting mine on an Amazon flash sale. 😁 Wish it had a smaller sauce pan to go with it but not the end of the world. Plates are small but the bowls are really nice, actually. All in all it’s a decent set. 👍

[@christopherwilson1878]

Noticed that both of those sets had a nice metal handle on the lids. Wish they incorporated that bit of brilliance into the lid of the small 2 cup cook set lid instead of the plastic tab handle. The key ring hack works ok for a fall back.

[@SMafam5]

Also the Nite Ize SS carabiner can also be adapted to be a lid handle. See Waypoint Survival.

[@barbshubert9667]

First time viewer. I can’t listen up for gazing at all the packs hanging up !! Wow. That’s a great way to store.

Thanks for a great review, on some great kit. I want the pro set.

[@outerlimitless]

Thanks for watching! Greatly appreciated!

[@dalevodden1359]

Hell get both that way you got everything you need

[@user-gn5uy6lx7z]

I bought the pro. The bottom is thick,he doesn't show that. I would say a good 1/2 inch. It's bigger than my black iron pan. The pots are huge. Probably bigger than you want, but I love them. I made a pot of chili and fried pork. It served 8 people and had some let over. The smaller pot is my favorite. The frying pan is huge. You can easily cook steak or chicken. One thing to remember about the Pro Set. It doesn't take much heat to get them hot, and they stay hot. You can tell that the Pro Set was very well thought out and probably the best cookware I ever owned

[@andrewade7017]

Great review....I already on the Camp Pro however, the Base Camp will make a nice addtion to my camp kitchen expecially, being sold on sale by REI for $62.99 during their Labor Day sale.

[@bartsimpson7424]

Base camp costs £150-160 in UK ,that's over $200 US . Pro costs over £225 .

[@TheGuyThatWondersWhy]

Thanks John! Really great review. I opted for the pro kit because I wanted that extra sauce pan. Plus I hate doing dishes while camping. Paper plates and bowls for me please lol.

Definitely be the camp pro for me I hate plastic so it goes in the trash from the get go ... do they have another set that has all stainless steel pieces?

[@amirah77ful]

I bought the base camp since I couldn’t make up my mind between the two sets. Love the pot, cooks great every time. The pan however, everything sticks, maybe I need to use a lot more oil, I Dk. The spatula tip melted the first time I tried it during a test run while cooking eggs. It was with light use as well so wasn’t happy about that. I do love Stanley products but there is some work to be done yet to make those extras a bit more stronger.

[@gardengirl7258]

[@jackieflynt995]

I'm wondering about the induction possibilities too. That's what I use at home & be nice if the pots were dual purposed.

[@rogerclift2705]

The pro camp set is fine for induction

[@NZComfort]

The really like Stanley stuff, just wish they would release a pot set for one. Something similar to the two person pot or a shorter version on the adventure cup. I have both and love them, but they don’t quite work great for one person/solo hiking. All of their cookware cooks great, the steel is great, but the cup is a little too tall (Unbalanced, and I have knocked it over several times)

[@outerlimitless]

The Stanley cooking gear is definitely a bit bulky and a bit heavy. I definitely like the quality but it's tough for the backpack scenario. Def great for car camping or basecamp. Thanks for watching!

[@ChloeBensonBeautyBoxes]

The base camp is great for van camping

[@bertdowlen8710]

So I'm clear on this...... the lower priced Basecamp set, the pot and pan are a lower quality than on the higher priced Even Heat Camp Pro set?

[@tomconway8881]

Very well explained.

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

looks like they'd make a great canoe came cook kit for, you usually have at least 4+ people, and they used to use cast iron, these would be much lighter and welcomed imo.

[@thestevecbr]

since Stanley uses good steel, might as well make a stainless steel spatula and spoon. yes, there is a stainless steel folding spatula and spoon for camping and Stanley should make them too instead of “plastic” (nylon) cooking utensils…

Do both sets have 3 layer or is the the 3 layer only pro cookware

You would be suprised how many stupid people DO NOT KNOW THAT METAL AND MICROWAVES DO NOT MIX! I have the frying pan set and the two pot set! The plates and bowls do fit on the rack. I just do not kneed a big pot! But the base camp is great for a family of four! My pan set came with that four part board. Also with two plates and sporks. Those soft trivets are very handy. Other sets have plastic on thier handles, but over a fire they could melt!
