Jim's Review of Optimus Crux W/terra Weekend He Cookset

All items are 100% functional to their individual characteristics and limits. The pot in the aluminum HE cook set had two very small "dents" in the bottom, and corresponding imperfections in the inside non-stick finish. They are of no consequence regarding performance and minor compared to what will likely happen over time and use. Boil time for 16z of tap water with a full fuel canister, 1050 elevation, 80 degrees F, and lid on was 2 minutes. I must say that the "owner's manual", printed in nearly all the known languages of the planet is needlessly thick for a simple product.

While the lid/pan may be handy for backpacking "cookers", it is bulky and wasted weight for "boilers" like me. I would love to have a simple, thin lid only so I could leave the other at home.
Pros:
  • Exactly as advertised
  • functionally super
Cons:
  • bulky lid
Would Recommend: Yes
