Summary:
I've never been dissapointed with any of the SnowPeak products I've had, including the multi compact cookset. Yes, it's pricy. But, it's extremely light and very durrable so far. With just two people I take just the small pot and small skillet. With larget groups I take both the small and large, or sometimes jus the large set. The large snow peak fuel bottle nests easily in the small pot. When folded out the handles are sturdy and utilitarian. I mainly use the pots to boil water, and the skillet as a plate, so I don't really "cook" food in it, mainly just re-hydrating.

Pros:
-Super Light, especially when carrying only 1/2 the set.
-Durable finish
-Great Heat Transfer
-Cleans easily
-Did I mention LIGHT!
-Packs small especially since fuel canister fits in the smallest pot

Cons:
-Expensive
-Handles get hot
-Using skillet at lid awkward since you have to grab it by the handle.

Summary:
I looked at other titanium sets, and this one seemed like it offered the most. Some of the sets were far too big for my needs. This set is compact, yet it allows me to store my fuel inside the small pot. Very lite-weight and dependable. I have not had any problems with these yet.

Summary:
Great Cookset, I think snowpeak came out with the perfect cookset with this one. very light strong and compact. I go backpacking with my wife, when we go I take the bigger pot and frying pan when I go alone I take the smaller pot and frying pan. This cook set is perfect for that. The frying pan serves double duty as I use it as a plate when eating. It also serves as the pot lid which when cooking purifies it so you don't have to worry about germs. Even as small as the frying pan is it will still cook up a 2 person bag of mountian house eggs and bacon. I cook a side dish of richmor hash brown o'brians in the pot. I think this is the perfect cook kit for 1 to 4 backpackers no need to look any further there is no better on the market that I have seen considering weight price easy use and utilityterian. If you want the best get this one
