GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Dualist

I am very pleased with this cookset! I was looking for something a bit taller than some other the other cooksets (packing a woodgas stove). This fits the bill perfectly. It's not tall in an obtrusive way. The height comes as a compromise of width. Either way, it's perfect for me. This is the Dualist model.

As indicated, I use it with a wood gas stove. Even though it gets a bit sooty on the bottom, it washes up perfectly clean. I am very pleased with the quality. The "Foons" that you receive with this are kind of gimicky, but can be used. You can fit a small stove and fuel canister in the whole packed up set provided you turn the bowls so the open faces are facing each other. This will be great when on the mountain!

I haven't used it to cook food in directly, rather I only boil water in it to then mix into freeze dried food envelopes. I can't say with certainty how well it's non-stick surface will stand up against burnt food on the inside of the pot, but if the inside cleans as easily as the outside, it will work great.

Granted the clear lid steams up when boiling water, you can still see when your water is boiling. You wouldn't have as easy of a time with opaque lids.

Overall, excellent cookset. Very highly recommended!

I love this thing. When I bought it, it didn't come with the sporks in the picture above.

Pros: Lightweight, compact, nests well, insulated bowls/mugs with lids save fuel, does not add that metallic taste to water/snow melt/food, can grab handle and lid at any time because they never get too hot, handle folds over the top of the lid for storage which keeps things from moving around, there is enough room for a pocket rocket stove inside if you arrange the bowls properly (but not the whisperlite internationale), tall & narrow means that it melts snow pretty efficiently because the rising heat stays in the pot, strainer lid could be useful (though I've never used it)

Cons: narrow pot makes it hard to mix foods if you're making a complex meal, clear lid is nice, but because the pot is so tall and dark, and because you're cooking with water that condenses on the lid, you still can't really see your food (that will be the same with every backcountry pot though), because it is tall the stove can become top heavy and off balance (this is something to be aware of with every stove though), not as non-stick as the teflon coated pots and pans

I like it and I use it when gourmet meals are not part of the plan.

I just got the dualist and took it out for a quick overnight with my girlfriend. Need to say i was presently surprised on how it performed. When I first opened it the "foons" had a sticker over the spoon that warned of pinching your fingers when collapsing them, the sticker left a sticky film on them, which came off with wd-40. The sip lids seal nicely on the mugs to greatly minimize leakage if any around the edges if dumped over. Everything cleans up very nicely, even a little cheesy soup that got burnt on the bottom came off easily. Overall I am very impressed with the dualist.

I am a solo hiker, but bought this set as i am introducing my kids to hiking. Perfect setup for two which aleviates your partners additional set. To help with the questions below, you can fit an MSR Pocket rocket and a 3.53oz Jetboil canister (not included) along with a bic lighter in this setup. The rocket is out of its case and is protected in the set. I got one of the first sets which did not come with the sporks, so your getting a bonus with this kit. This set heats quickly, evenly and cleans real well. I love it!!!

I am in the process of getting my wife introduced to backpacking/hiking and picked up this to simplify the cooking process. The product is very well designed and I usually put easy mac/tea/hot chocolate etc. inside of the pot with ease. I love the design and this makes cooking for a few people so easy. Fantastic product that is very functional and practical.

I have owned the Nform dualist for a while. The pinnacle dualist is improved by teflon and a BPA free lid. I love this cookset! I have a full and very detailed review on my site at http://www.kingofdiamonds1.blogspot.com check it out and let me know what you think! I hope this helps a lot of people with their cookset choice!

This is the best thing you can carry with you.The design is soooooooo cool and hardly takes any space compare to ways you can use it.
The pan is perfect for cooking meals for 2-3 people and spoons are just cute and functional.Love It

This is a great cook set for two. It has held up well and works great. Every detail has been thought out.
