Media Coverage from National Geographic: 8 camping cookware sets we love

If you’re cooking on trails or at campgrounds, you want cookware that’s durable and versatile. Here are our top picks, chosen by a professional mountain guide and van-lifer.

While more basic than what you find in a typical kitchen, camping cookware sets can still cook delicious, nutritious meals. They’re also more sustainable than plastic cookware and help keep trails and campgrounds healthier and cleaner. I’m a professional mountain guide and van-lifer, and camping cookware sets aren’t just what I cook with on weekend trips. They’re what I use almost every day, and I prefer to use durable cookware that is versatile enough to use on many different types of trips.

Best stainless steel camping cookware set: Primus Stainless Steel Campfire Cookset

Why we like it: The Primus Stainless Steel Campfire Cookset is a high-quality stainless steel cookware set that is light enough for backpacking and robust enough for car camping. It comes in small and large sizes and includes a pot, a saucepan, and a skillet, all of which can be used over a stove or a campfire. Leather tabs on the pot lids add a touch of elegance and make it easy to remove hot lids. The pot also has a bail handle and can easily hang over a campfire.

Keep in mind: The skillet doesn’t come with a lid. The camping cookware doesn’t nest together snugly and rattles in a backpack.

Product details: Includes: 1.8L/3L pot, 1L/1.8L saucepan, skillet, 2 lids | Weight: 2.9/3.6 lbs | Materials: 18/8 stainless steel
