Media Coverage from Outdoor Life: The Best Camping Cookware of 2024
Best Value: Primus Campfire Cookset
- Includes 1.8 liter pot, 1 liter pot, one 8.2-inch frying pan, and two lids
- Weight: 2 pounds, 15 ounces
- Materials: Stainless steel
Pros
- Tabs on lids make it easy to use without a pot holder
- Nest together nicely
- Sleek look
- Reasonably priced
Cons
- Lighter material makes it feel flimsier than the Stanley (although there were no problems during testing)
On my Memorial Day testing trip, the Primus Campfire Cookset was one of the first pots that anyone picked up. It was just the right size, and it felt nice to the hand. My tester used it to cook her rice and it came out perfectly, fluffy with no residue stuck to the bottom. She also noted that the tabs, in addition to being aesthetically pleasing, meant she didn’t have to grab a pot holder or pull down her sleeve to lift up the lid.

In addition to cleaning up easily, I liked that these pieces nested together without the need to attach or detach a handle. While the Primus Campfire Cookset is noticeably less expensive than the Stanley Adventure Even-Heat, it doesn’t come with the extras like a cooking spoon or spatula. But if you’re camping box is already sorted except for a great set of camping cookware, this is a great pick.
