Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

As a "one-stop-shop" product, made up of high-quality components, this award winner will get you 90% of the way to a gourmet camp kitchen. It provides excellent cooking performance, has many features, and allows you to easily parse out different items to different types of trips.
The inclusion of plates, mugs, and bowls, really sets the Pinnacle Camper Cookset apart from most other manufacturer’s products.
The very simple and easy-to-use pot gripper was among those favorites and worked smoothly every time. In general, if you’re trying to find a high camping cookware place which has all you want to cook for up to 4 individuals, it will not get any greater than the GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Camper.
I have always been a big fan of GSI's tableware, and this kit is no exception. Like I said earlier, it is amazing how much stuff is packed into this "little" kit - it is the matryoshka doll of camp cookware sets. The insulated cups nest inside of the bowls, which group together and nest inside of the 2L pot. We found the setup to work very well at keeping hot coffee and soups warm, even when we were camping with snow on the ground.
Nearly unmatched lightness, sturdy durability, and multitude of easy-to-pack bits and pieces. From burly thru-hikers to the active family on a weekend backpacking trip, anyone will find it easy to instantly fall in love with this cookware.

What reviewers didn't like

Pot handle gets hot. This set of cookware is super heavy.
The only thing missing is flatware and cooking implements like a spatula, a large stirring spoon, and a soup ladle.
My only complaint with the system relates to the associated bowls. Although the volume is perfect for our needs, the inside shape makes it difficult to get the last bit of food that is stuck in the corners with our Titanium Kung Foons.
