Coghlan's Camping Cook Set - Anodized Aluminum - 1 Frying Pan and 3 Pots

Video Transcript for Review of Coghlans Camping Kitchen - Nesting Aluminum Camping Cooking 4 Piece Set - CG28UV

Hi everybody, my name is Andy with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna be looking at Coghlan's aluminum four-piece camping cook set. If you're looking for a lightweight cooking set to take on your camping or backpacking trip, or if you enjoy car camping, I might have the cooking set for you. Let's take a closer look at it. What we see here is a cooking set that is made out of hard anodized aluminum. And not only is this lightweight, but the aluminum is very sturdy and also allows for even heat distribution when you are cooking. And it also has this nice feature of swing-away handles, or as they've been described as butterfly handles, that are coated with silicone so that you will have a nice, cool grip when you are cooking from the stove.

So that is a really nice feature here and allows for easy storage when you fold those handles away. If you will notice these pots also have a measuring tool inside to help you know how much water or how much fluid that you have in there at a glance, so that it makes it a little more convenient when you are cooking and provides you with a at a glance idea of how much fluid you have in there. Now, this lid is very nice in that it has not only convenient draining holes, but the lid works not only with the frying pan, but with each piece of the set, as well. And the drain holes are mounted in such a way that it will work with each piece no matter where the lid is on. And as you notice, it does have a nice silicone stay cool knob there so that you don't burn yourself when you are removing this lid while it is cooking.

So I am going to kind of do some rearranging here, and I wanna take a look at the smaller pot first. And this is the one liter pot, and let's get some measurements here just to kind of give you an idea about the actual size of each of these pots. And as we look at this first one, this one liter pot measures about 5 5/8 inches across, and it looks like we're sitting at about 2 7/8 inches deep on this one liter pot. And let me go ahead and move to the two liter pot, and with the two liter pot, measuring across, we are sitting at about 6 3/4 inches across and in regards to the depth, we're sitting at about 3 7/8 inches deep on the two liter pot. Moving to the larger one, the three liter pot, measuring across, we are sitting at about 7 1/2 inches and get that glare away there on the ruler, sitting about 7 1/2 inches across on the three liter pot.

And in regards to the depth, we're sitting right at 4 1/2 inches. Let's take a look at the frying pan. Remove the lid here, and as we are measuring the frying pan across, we are looking to be at about 7 7/8 inches across, in regards to how deep it is, we're right at two inches with how deep this frying pan is. And last but not least, let's not forget our lid, our lid that again, works with each piece of this set, measures across about 7 5/8 inches across. Now, what's really nice about this set is that it does nest together to provide a convenient solution to transport this.

So I'm gonna put this together here and make sure I did it in the right order. So we start with our three liter pot. We'll put in our two liter pot and then our one liter pot. Then I am going to put this in our frying pan and then our lid goes right on top. And so this is what it looks like all nested together. And again, just to kind of give you an idea of how big this is when it is all together, the depth here of it being together here is about 4 3/4 inches tall, if you're not including the knob. If you're including the knob, I'm gonna say you're sitting at about 5 1/2 inches tall. And then in regards to its width, including the handles as much as possible, I think we are sitting pretty close at about 7 1/2 inches wide, I would say. It looks like we're sitting about 7 1/2 inches wide across when they're all together. And what's also nice about this, it does come with an included mesh bag to keep everything together. Let me show you what that looks like all put together. I did notice that even though this is made out of really light aluminum, I have noticed a few scuffs here and there. So I would imagine that as you have these together, there is a potential for some nicks in the aluminum finish. So just be aware of that, but all in all, it is a great little set that's very convenient, very light, very compact. And I don't think you can really go wrong with this. And this is also intended to be used on gas stoves and heating elements. I think this would be a really nice portable set for you if you're looking to take as little equipment as possible and you need a cook set to go cooking with, I think this would really fit the bill. Well, that concludes our look at Coghlan's four piece aluminum cook set. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me today..
