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

When the people at Stanley reached out to me to see if I was interested in reviewing some of their cooking products, I saw the Basecamp Cook Set and the Even Heat Coot Set and wasn't too sure about all the differences...never mind how they would apply to my camping needs. So in this video we dissect both sets to get a better feel for which kit matches the intended need...heavy duty cooking, or cooking/serving and eating.

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

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

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.

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

[piedmontsailing]

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.

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

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.

Nice review. To the point and informative.

[James-kesx]

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.

[garybrown]

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

[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.

[dalevodden]

Hell get both that way you got everything you need

[tempebailey]

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

[christopherwilson]

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.

[shanewhetstone]

my first time reviewing your videos. Great review and I am envious of the gear stash behind you. lol

[activepuck]

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. 👍

[Eelgnotsa]

Base camp is what I just got is great, best on the market 😊

[andrewade]

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.

[amirahful]

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.

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.
