GSI Outdoors, Crossover Kitchen Kit, Superior Backcountry Cookware Since 1985

Even though I car camp I'm always looking for ways to pare down things and this certainly fills that need nicely. I love having full sized products that compact down easily for storage and the spatula, spoon and tongs are great. I typically cook either on a grate over the coals or in the coals of the campfire and that's the only reason I need tongs, so I've been thinking of ways to be able to use the tongs in this fashion. As they are in the kit it won't hold up to the intense heat of coals even for a quick flipping, but I think if I wrapped the ends in a couple layers of heavy duty aluminum foil it would be fine since it's just a quick flip I'm doing. They'd clearly be fine as is for turning bacon in a frying pan or other stovetop use. I like to use seasonings on my foods such as Ms. Dash Table Blend so I own 2 GSI salt/pepper shakers that I can now give those to other camping friends since I now can have 4 different seasonings in 1 convenient spice tower. The larger squirt bottle is perfect for cooking oil and the scraper is a nice touch too. It took me a while to find it and almost thought it had been left out, but it's in the back of the main compartment tucked away in a barely visible compartment. It is a well thought out kit for the most part. With regard to the dishwashing items, I'm so-so on those, but not enough to lower my rating overall. The scrubber is fine, but the towel isn't that great. I use my REI microfiber towels for drying dishes since they are ultra absorbant, but in a pinch the one provided would be OK. The small bottle for dishsoap is essentially useless in my opinion. It's not large enough for that purpose and I can't think of anything else it would be good for. A second larger squirt bottle would have easily fit in this kit and would have been oodles more useful. There's not a ton of extra room in the bag, but I managed to fit in my mini wire whisk and a small paring knife (in its box for safety). I think those are the only other things I'd want to see in a complete kit, but I'm very pleased with what comes in the kit and wouldn't knock it down more than a 1/2 star for not having those things. Unfortuantely, Amazon doesn't allow 1/2 star increments so my true rating is 4.5/5.

Purchased this when I got the Pinnacle Base Camper Cookware set. Yeah, it's a little pricey but we needed something compact to store utensils for a nonstick surface since space is at a premium in our teardrop. After going one season of pretty heavy camping (for us!) I felt like I could justify a decent review. This kit is compact! It stores right inside the pot in the cookware. It has all tools we need when we break out the Base Camper set. Spatula, spoon/shallow ladle and tongs. The little cutting board and scrub pad we didn't get much use out of. The two bottles are great. One for olive oil and the other sesame oil. The salt and pepper shakers are handy as well although those were repurposed for other spices. I was concerned about the joint where the utensils rotate and fold but they held up for this last season. I wouldn't recommend doing anything that's going to apply to much stress on them though. They are easy to clean and the material of the tools seems durable enough just the joint is my concern. So if you are looking to conserve space and want a nice little set of utensils and some extra items that are open to your individual needs this may be worth the investment.

I purchased this set to go with the GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Base Camper 2-Person Cookset. I have taken it both backpacking and car camping with my fiance and we both love it. The spoon is nice and deep for stirring and serving any kind of soup or stew, the spatula is big enough to flip a small/medium sized pancake, and the tongs are a great help when it comes to flipping bacon or anything else that needs grabbed. With all of that being said, these utensils are made of plastic so you wont exactly be able cook a giant piece of meat or use them over an open fire. The trade off to this however is that this set is super light and compact. This set comes with a small dishrag or towle of some sort but I would recommend adding a small sponge as well. It also comes with a small cutting board, double ended spice shaker, scraper, and two small bottles for either liquid condiments or dish soap. All of these, while small, work very well. If you are looking to purchase this set solely for car camping I would recommend something a little bigger and possible made of metal but if you are considering this for backpacking then look no further, at 9.6 oz you will barely notice the added weight.

A very handy little kit. This kit is very small but functional and lightweight. It is of course made of plastic which is fine, but the utensils will melt very slightly under use with high heat. In fairness, the same thing happens to regular plastic utensils one might buy at bed, bath, beyond, but I was hoping they might be a bit more durable. Still, they are very handy, and work well. It is a good addition to a lightweight, camping kitchen.

Perfect kit at a good price for all the goodies. The bag is small too and packs nicely with all my gear. Would take this backpacking but have only used for car camping. In all honesty I only wanted a few of the tools. The standard spatula, tongs and spoon. But when I priced them out the bag with the extra bonuses made sense. I like that I can create my own spice blends instead of buying that pre made one. This also has the scraper tool that I’ve used before from a friends kit and has small bottles to use for soap, oil, etc. so all in all it made sense to get this instead of piecemealing it. I also liked that it all compacted. The cutting board is fine. It’s not anything earth shattering. And the towel is like a microfiber rag. But again it’s well thought out and packs nicely into the bag without any issues. I imagine most would find this a luxury item but I found the upfront investment was worth it instead of just getting one or two tools and needing to get everything else later at different prices. There’s a bigger version of this kit - personally I think that one is extravagant and would never need all that stuff. This is prefect for 2ppl camping.

Lightweight and (relatively) small piece of kit for the camp kitchen. I use this for both car camping and backpack camping. I added the tiny GSI potholder and replaced the foam cleaning pad with a stainless steel scouring pad. The cutting board is very tiny and almost useless for cutting, but I don't really bring things out to cut. If it needs to be cut, I pre-cut it. It comes with two small bottles. In one I keep cooking oil and in the other dish soap. The items are light, but appear to be well made. I have not had any issues or concerns that they would break in my pack. I've used them several times now and they have held up well so far.

It has tongs....nuff said. Well, okay, maybe a little more. The shaker is interesting in that a setup about the size of a single unit actually has 4 compartments. But it is rather tight. I'd rather have shakers this size that have only two compartments, but have two of them. There is also only one bottle. Competitor versions have two bottles. The spatula is the right length too. Sometimes you have to use a pot (sauce pan) as a fry pan, and in those cases, the depth is such that you want the spatula to be fairly short so you can move in from the edge and still angle it to get underneath the item you're trying to flip (e.g. pancakes). The shorter spatula (or is it ladel?) is useful in this case. The cutting board is awfully small, but better than nothing. The scraper is okay. I prefer the type that has a brush on one side and scraper on the other, but this works too. One great thing about this is the compactness yet compartmentalization of the crescent shaped bag, which still has room for a few extras. Fitting an spare small shaker in there, a second small bottle, and a pot-gripper works okay. It will be interesting to see how this holds up long term, but in initial testing, it works just great. Highly recommend it.

Got this to go with a 4 person GSI cooking set. This is a nice little set that includes just about anything you could need for cooking in the great outdoors. I was even able to place a few other items in this pouch so that everything for eating could be in one place. The utensils all collapse down making them very compact. They are easy to unfold and are sturdy in their opened state making them very usable. I really like that this set came with tongs, this was the deciding factor for me ordering this set verses the other one I saw.

Cosa dire, i prodotti della GSI sono una garanzia...li ho testati in ogni condizione e devo dire che sono Superlativi...

This is a brilliant set for camping. Really improved our kitchen set by having everything in one place. It feels like magic that all the stuff fits in one bag so small. The little seasoning pots hold enough for maybe a meal each. Oil bottle was not big enough to hold loads so I put maple syrup in for my coffee. Only downside was the cleaning cloth, which was just a piece of felt. The bag accommodated a micro fibre cloth in its place

GSI Küchenutensilien Crossover Kitchen Kit, sieht recht schnukelig aus. Habe es noch nicht verwendet, kann deshalb zur Qualität nichts beitragen,

Muy completo y de buena calidad

this is a great kitchen set. handles are foldable, yet sturdy when used. i like it alot, everything you need is included. the small bottles were a joke, so i threw them out. they just dont seem practical in actual use.
