I have wanted this frying pan kit for a long time and I'm very pleased to finally own one. The quality of Stanley products is unequalled, in my opinion.
The pan is heavy, so I don't think it would be suitable for backpacking. For car camping, which is what I want it for, it is ideal. I also think the price is very reasonable. I've researched other "camping" frying pans, which are a few pounds cheaper, but they don't appear to be of the same quality as the Stanley and they don't have the extras that are in this kit.
The kit, includes a chopping board, two small "plates", a spatula and two sporks. The plates aren't very big (obviously – they can fit inside the pan), but they'll do for me. I can think of a lot of uses for them. The sporks are fine. The chopping board is fairly thick and strong. All in all, a kit that's made to last.
The only tiny fault, as far as I'm concerned, is that the spatula – which comes in two parts that clip together – is very difficult for me to take apart again. I have arthritis in both hands and just couldn't do it. I used a small pair of pliers, to gently push the clips in just enough to allow me to separate the two parts. Problem solved. Happy camper.
