After reading the reviews and having the opportunity to see the Bisgear 17 pcs in person, I decided to order it instead the one I had in my shopping cart originally. It came in perfect condition. I did inspect every piece to make sure everything was ok, washed it all and packed it for my Whitney trip. Since space and weight was to be considerate, I removed the 2 plastic bowls to be able to pack my propane inside the bigger pot, having my cookware all together in the bag. It was easy to assemble it and cook with it. I have to say that it takes a little balancing and positioning of taller pot, but once is filled with water it gets easier. I didn't try the shorter, wider pot, so I don't know how it behaves. The handles don't get hot at all. I also believe that because the pot is light weight, it heats the water quickly, but it doesn't hold the heat for more than 5 min. The temperature at the campground was around the mid 30F, so maybe that influenced the water temperature not holding it hot for more than 5 minutes. The utensils are greatly made, sturdy, and spoon and spork are wide enough to get a good bite, specially when you are hungry. overall, I'm satisfied with the set, and I'll be taking it to any future backpacking trips.
