Good spot mate. worth it for 2 copper bottom pots let alone 4

 

[Macaroon]

That is a good spot! They have a good offer on at the moment - Vango Force Ten MkIII CN, new, for £180.00 delivered.......................Very tempted!

Just to let you know as I had a set like that. They are good enough quality and actually very light. But too thin in my opinion, dent very easy and scorch everything on a butane stove....

also the copper coating on the bottom just crackles to the max on first use

It's a bargain, if you're careful with them. I found food stuck because they are so thin. The copper isn't really thick enough to spread the heat properly. Cook low and slow and they're fine. I use them for veggies, rice and pasta that I 'just' keep on a simmer and they're okay.

cheers,
Toddy

I've had this set for years and it's worked well.

Indeed your right Mary. Got to be better than Titanium lol

A problem with many gas stoves is the small flame spread so you need to use your cooking skills.

It's a nice, lightweight, easily packed set, Richard; and that certainly is a bargain for two of them

Ian's breads look superb

Aluminium cooking pots are a mess to clean, and they shouldn't really be; I cooked in aluminium pots in the house for years and I didn't get my cloths and suchlike a mess from them.
I do like my little non stick frying pan for camping though; ideal for stir fries as well as baking scones and oatcakes and bannocks.

If they would make that lightweight set, but instead of a layer of copper on the base, incorporate a sandwich layer of aluminium, it would make a truly excellent cooking set. I suppose it all comes down to price though.
