I'm not sure if I should be reviewing this yet since I have not yet used it for its normal purpose. However, I can say that it seems to be lighweight and compact when packed as expected. I did not expect the non-stick surface to be necessarily as non-stick as regular nonstick cookware. The surface has a rough texture, and I would imagine that if you were to get something caked on or burnt onto it, those things would not come off easily. I do think, however, that if you stick to heating up liquids and soups, or frying something with a persistent good layer of oil between the cooked item and the pot/pan, then it would not stick much. It may be more of a challenge however, to cook something like scrambled eggs or rice without having them stick in spots. I also would not use the metal utensils for cooking, as appears to be suggested. I believe that would accelerate the degradation of the surfaces. The cup does not have a rounded lip, nor could I figure out what one other reviewer meant by connecting the 2 utensils together to make them longer. However, they seem long enough to me, and I would use them individually. But then again, my hands are not the largest.

The pots are why I bought this set. The others were just extras for me. The cup is rather small and will probably stay home. The fork and spoon is nice though. I leave them connected and that makes for a longer handle, they may be too short apart. I used this set over a fire on a grill. My only complaints are: 1. you have to remove the lid to use the lifter, and 2. there are no loop handles. I may rivit my own to them. This set is just right for soup and hot water for 2, maybe 3 people (at once). It would be nice too if the lids were pans. I could have gotten a comparable aluminum set for way less, but I wanted titanium. Another comparable titanium set, 2 pots, 2 lids, would have set me back many more $$$. This is a nice set inbetween those other options. I like it. Now I need a wood spoon to stir stuff with. It would be 5 stars from me if it came with one, and I didn't have 2 minor complaints. Pan lids would make it 6 stars...

Used a similar Titanium set on Mt. Rainier last month. I had to get one. Ordered this set and am very disappointed. Used it one night to heat soup. Can't get the soup off bottom. So much for the "non-stick" claim. Am sending this one back tomorrow.
