Have a few of the Stanley products in my camping kit, and this really looks like it would be a good addition to my chuck box to save some weight and shrink some things down even more.
Stanley has brought fry pans a long way from my early days when pans were sticky aluminum and folding handles were unreliable. These days, I really LIKE Stanley's designs and quality.
I too have been shying away from SS frypans because of the uneven heat issues. Looks like I have a nice option to go with my MSR seagull pots...Thanks for the video. Cooking potatoes like you just did is the way I test a good frypan as well..Great job.
I really like my Stanley gear, good quality and lifetime warranty is hard to beat. I use my Mora knives for camping duty, but for food prep I prefer Opinel n°8. It's thin blade slices through food super easily and is quick to resharpen with a Spyderco sharp maker. Thanks for the review, I think it was thorough and fair. I appreciate your service and sacrifice.
Great review! Thank you so much for doing an unboxing and actual use. For measuring, I would turn it over and check the bottom, which is actually the working surface. If you measure from the top, that is just the opening, and not the cooking surface.
I have been holding off buying a skillet. I, like you, like cast iron, but this is really the best of both worlds. Rust proof and even heating. I am sold and thanks for the review!
Everything was great, mighty fine pan and you demonstrated/featured it very well. I prefer sea salt and black pepper on my fried potatoes, garlic hides the potato flavor for me and it doesn't go well on my stomach (for HOURS!!!). Enjoyed your well made video, great camera work!
Glad I saw this. I’ve got some smaller/lighter gear for backpacking but this looks great for car camping when I want to keep it simple and not lug my cast iron. Thanks for the thorough review.
bereantrb thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. This is an excellent pan and the heat distribution is on par with cast iron. have a beautiful day
Nice video. I've got the Stanley Two Cup Cookset and the French Press and they are great. Most of my other cookware are Trangia but this frypan looks more stout than the thinner Trangia. Thanks for your service.
You don't see a lot of videos about quality backpacking fry pans. Looks like Stanley has a winner! I carry something very similar . . . the MSR Alpine fry pan. Mine has a piece a aluminum sandwiched unto the bottom of the stainless base for even heat distribution. I have seasoned my stainless as well for no-stick cooking. Thanks for the video.
Stanley, I still have a Stanley thermos I ran over with my truck ( don't ask) but it's over 20 years old! This set would make a good addition to that!! Great video, thanks from Maine!!
Great review. I've watched it a few times and just returned from Menards where I purchased one. It is a very nice set. Thanks again for the review. It was helpful.
I am impressed ! I will add this one to my list thank you ! looks like a better frying pan than I use in my House ! that heat distribution is really good because the main heat was in the center yet all the pan cooked those potatoes ! and your a guy that likes My type of food ! ya can't go wrong with garlic salt on fried potatoes ! LOL
It's 18/8 or verbally, eighteen eight stainless steel. 18/8 is the most commonly used stainless steel and contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Thanks for this great spotlight of the product. 👍
I love the look of that camping skillet and have to look for one to add to my camping collection. It would be better to use that than the cast iron skillets I have at home.
Great video. This is the kind of information people want when they are deciding whether or not to buy a product. You really highlighted the pros of this product, and your thorough approach leads me to believe there are few to none cons. That being said, I cannot abandon my own experiences, and will always be hesitant to buy Stanley products. This one does seem to be a winner though...
Ya know.....I like the look of this set. I cook a nice lunch on most of my hikes and always add fresh garlic at some point. The problem is where to chop it! I don't like to pre chop garlic because it gets funny. The cutting board is great, I'm not looking to prep for 100 people so small is perfect. The plates are a great place to rest food while you prep and cook other items (just gotta keep the dogs out of it). The trivet would be a good pot holder too. It looks like it does cook evenly, which is a problem with most backpacking stoves with a laser flame. Nice review. Svea 123 forever! Subscribed!
Good video. I like the kit but I would rather have a stainless steel lid that especially since that would help save fuel and speed up the cooking time and I would also like the handle to be reversed the same as the other cook pots they make.
That was a good review I never seen this set before I'm sure with the Stanley Cup and pot set any could be rocking an amazing good quality cooking gear for camping.
pathfinder makes an 8 inch pan with a metal lid. i dont know if its exactly the same size and if it is with the metal lid it most likely wont fit the cutting board, if and only if it the same size. or if the pan performs the same or not. here is the link if you are interested: www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/products/pathfinder-stainless-steel-folding-skillet-with-lid-set?variant=27770155777
Great set. Have been looking at getting an SS fry pan for a while. for the money this seems like the best deal. closest competitor I found was the MSR pan and thats all it is just a pan so all that extra stuff from the stanley kit makes it a no-brainer
+Bearded Seabee 82 Ha ha, they're excellent! Very good heat distribution. You can get them on Amazon now. I've got a link below. Thinking about giving one away soon. :-)
That's a great cook set that I hadn't seen. I will be purchasing it to give it a try. I certainly don't mind the plastic specially for the price. There's the Must be metal and there's the Must be cast iron groups, but plastic is ok b/c I would just buy a new set for the price.
I have chopped up beef jerky and dehydrated onions added it to the potatoes a little water at the end with a lid let it steam stir it up and chow down with a couple eggs on top..
Very nice brother great review as always my friend I really like this set I appreciate the fact that you review budget items and are not like a lot of the other TH-camrs that only review high-end stuff thank you so much I really mean that with all my heart thank you and I love your channel brother
I was looking for a good camping Stainless steel pan last year and settled for the Primus pan. This Stanley kit looks to be a better choice since everything is included. lol , I got a tickle out of your wet water statement at the 8:44 mark.
I don't have this one. I will need to add it to my set. I like the length of the forks in the spork. I like to rinse my taters too. It keeps them from getting soggy. Hot rinse first and then a cold rinse. Thank you♥
Great review, man! I love the Stanley product line for cooking but I don't have their frying pan. I was going to buy an MSR Alpine but I think the Stanley set will be a better buy plus it includes all of the extra items that MSR offers individually so costs is a deciding factor. By the way, thanks for your service, Brother, and I know all about KP duties as well...LOL.
Potwierdzam! Ta patelnia jest genialna! Zresztą jak wszystko od firmy Stanley. Produkty nie są tanie, tym bardziej w Polsce... Albo inaczej, ... na kieszeń przeciętnego Polaka. Ale warto zbierać pieniądze i kupić coś porządnego raz na całe życie ;) Mam parę produktów Stanley i ... chcę jeszcze :)
That looks like a really nice set! Will have to go find it so I can add it to my stash:) Excellent review! And it's a decent size frying pan also, I like that. Thumbs up my friend!
Hi Jijitsu2000. Just came across your channel. Thank you for the review. 32 oz might be a little heavy for a backpacking cook set. This would probably be good for backcountry anglers. On the other hand, stainless steel is very durable. My wife and I do hammock camping if we go into the Bush. I caught your Navy comment. HMC(SW), USN, ret. Wife HM1(AW), USN, ret.
I'll be modifying that long handle to fit the adventurer cup as well, giving it a longer reach has to be a safety plus right? :-D Fry those skins up with some butter and herb/spice, nice little snack 🤘
As a young man in the Army, you get to mop and polish floors. Never question the ability of anyone who’s spent even 4 years in the Army to make your floors look Awesome 👍🏻 Oh, there’s the ability to shoot people too… but, whatever 😄
dude you used it one time! you can basically only say its great for one time usage and not much more. how is it that the first 3 or 4 comments are always very positive and relatively senseless? is not just you its all the influencers out there.

I have the same set. I always bring it on my overnight canoe trips. Works great. And you really can’t beat the price of the stanley cooking series.

+Pete McPherson thank you so much for the kind words and support that you give my channel and you're exactly right Stanley is doing some good things
Great review! Those taters looked tasty. I have the adventure camp cook set an love it! You can't go wrong with Stanley stuff.
Thanks for the information! I'll pick one up. Its very important to find honest people who review things.
+Slim Notorious Thank you!
Just ordered mine from Amazon for $36.95 and free shipping. I now will have a nice skillet for my hunting and fishing trips.

Looks like a great canoe item. All in one shore lunch set.

Perfect presentation. Very, very nice set. Definitely gonna order one😎✌️

Excellent review, thanks. Love that spatula design. What a nifty set.
Had this set in my online cart, your video helped me decide. Thank you.
Thank you for your in depth review. Helped me go ahead and invest in a set. Happy camping!
I have that fry pan. I love it. Almost nicer than my pans I have inside my house

That’s the weak spot.
MSR seagull plate works as great lid and can nest if you modify the kit.
That was a good review I never seen this set before I'm sure with the Stanley Cup and pot set any could be rocking an amazing good quality cooking gear for camping.
I will be buying one 0f those. I have some Stanley stuff and love it. Thank you for your video!
+WADE REED it's an excellent pan for the money and the heat distribution Cooks your food very evenly lot of bang for the buck with this one
wow very nice. stanly has awsome dishes. ive always liked there stuff. there getting better every year thanks for sharing god. bless
Been hearing good things about the Stanley camp cookware.
I do like that kit. I have the Pathfinders fry pan with the stainless steel cover. Pans are almost the same. Nice video.
+flpirate45 The pathfinder skillet is excellent! Thank you!
The only thing that I would change would be swapping the plastic lid for a metal one.

You should cook em up in bacon grease, or bits of bacon with a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of onion powder. Tastes amazing.

Nice review kind Sir. Please tell me about the fluid mode you mentioned from your gas bottle. Kind regards.
Excellent! Try to put the garlic salt when the potatoes are almos done, that way you wont burn the garlic. 😉
So true! Thanks

dude you used it one time! you can basically only say its great for one time usage and not much more. how is it that the first 3 or 4 comments are always very positive and relatively senseless? is not just you its all the influencers out there.
How do you test heat distribution of frying pan by frying potato? Cooking pancake, bacon or steak would make good heat distribution test.
Very nice review! Thanks!

again, thanks for your tips.
Nice set indeed sir; however, a couple points to take under consideration... total weight for all 9 pieces is almost 2 & 1/2 lbs.....Stanley products have been Made In China since 2002.
I would have been more impressed if you used bacon grease, to fry the tators.
Also as a trail tip if you save the paper towel you used to clean out the pan, it makes a great fire starter for the next meal.
Those are some good thoughts thanks for sharing
that is really nice set
I'm going 2 try to find one
by the way at 8 : 50 seconds in
you mention wet water
is there a dry water anywhere?
😆 Dry water? That prompted me to look it up. There actually is such a thing as dry water. It's actually an extremely small droplet of water encased in silica. Looks like table salt. There is also such a thing as heavy water. You don't want to back pack heavy water; too heavy.
Probably only in a dry wine.
Lots of sailors run back and forth over the ship, fetching buckets of steam, on their first voyage at sea!
Yeah. I'm selling dehydrated water for ultralight backpackers.
1gallon - $4.99. (less than 1/2 oz)
