| Optimus Terra Weekend HE Cookset |
 |
Highly versatile and efficient 2-piece hard anodised aluminium cook set. The special Heat Exchanger on the bottom of the saucepan reduces energy consumption and saves fuel when cooking.
Set includes: 0.95L Heat Exchange saucepan with pouring lip and measuring marks (ml and oz), frying pan that doubles as a lid, and mesh storage bag.
When travelling the set offers ample space for a 230g / 8oz gas cartridge, a Crux/Crux Lite stove, and a folding spork (not included).
Our Verdict
If you are looking for a robust cookset that is big enough for one but two at a push, then this could be for you. When considering the weight remember these weights include the handles as well (you would have to add in the weight of a potlifter with other sets).
Obviously the weight of the Heat Exchanger makes the set heavy in comparison to others, however it will cancel itself out for longer trips (a week or more) by saving that extra weight in fuel.
The fry pan will take an egg and not much more, it could be left at home and a lighter alternative lid for the bigger pan made from foil, but on the other hand its a handy size and you can fry some sausages in the frypan while boiling up water in the other. The main pan itself weighs 216g.
We like the Optimus attention to detail, the insulated handles, graduated pot, spout, the size being just right for packing gas canister and stove inside etc...
