THTYBROS 17-Piece Camping Cookware Set in Hard Anodised Aluminium (Pot, Pan, Kettle, Cups & Cutlery)

If you’re trying to keep your camp cooking kit simple, this THTYBROS 17-piece camping cookware set is built around the “one pack, do most things” idea. On paper it covers the basics for boiling water and cooking meals outdoors, with a hard-anodised aluminium pot and kettle plus a pan and enough tableware to eat without improvising.

That said, it’s not trying to be a premium gourmet setup. It’s more of a practical, backpack-friendly cookware bundle for hiking, backpacking, and picnics—where saving space and staying organised matter as much as the cooking itself.

The essentials

This is an all-in-one outdoor cookware set made around hard-anodised aluminium. The included pieces are designed to nest together into a compact unit that fits into the included mesh carry bag, so it’s easier to pack than a scattered collection of pans and utensils. There’s also a 1.7L pot suited to meals like pasta and an 1.15L kettle aimed at your “essential cuppa” moments.

You also get two stainless steel cups and a mix of plates/cutlery, plus a cleaning cloth. For many casual trips, that’s the part people forget—then end up carrying extra plates/spoons anyway.

Key features & what they mean in practice

The core selling point here is the hard-anodised aluminium construction. That combination is presented as non-toxic and scratch-resistant, with the intention that it holds up over time. Aluminium also heats efficiently, so water can come to a boil faster. In real camping terms, that usually translates to less waiting around when you’re rationing time and fuel.

The handles are also designed with safety and control in mind. The set uses an ergonomic, heat-resistant silicone handle for a more secure grip when you’re cooking over a camp stove. It’s a small detail, but it matters—hot cookware plus cold hands at the campsite is not where you want uncertainty.

One more practical touch: the components pack down neatly. For backpacking, that nesting feature can be the difference between “fits in my bag” and “I’ll deal with it later”.

What stands out (and where it can fall short)

What stands out most is the “camp system” approach: pot + kettle + pan, plus cups, plates, cutlery and cleaning cloth, all intended to be carried together. If you’re often cooking and eating for yourself (or a small group) on the go, that reduces the fiddly bits.

However, there’s a limitation to keep in mind: this is a cookware set, not a full-on outdoor chef workstation. If you’re the sort of camper who wants precise simmering control, multiple burners, or specialised cookware for different dishes, hard anodised aluminium and a compact kit can feel a bit limiting.

Also, the included kit capacity may not be ideal if you regularly cook for larger groups—those pot/kettle sizes are aimed at practical meal-and-boil needs rather than big-batch cooking.

Who it’s for

It makes sense if you want a compact, coordinated cookware set for outdoor hiking, backpacking, or traditional camping, especially when packing space and convenience are your priorities. It suits people who want to boil water quickly, make simple meals, and then serve up with the included cutlery and cups rather than relying on improvised extras.

It’s also a reasonable fit if you prefer materials that are presented as scratch-resistant and built to last, without stepping into the ultra-specialist gear category.

It might not be the best choice if you’re cooking complex multi-course meals, need lots of capacity for a crowd, or already own better-matched cookware and just want to add tableware.

Getting the most from it (simple on-trip example)

A typical day looks like this: set the kettle up to boil water for tea or instant coffee, then use the pot for a straightforward carb-heavy meal (pasta is explicitly mentioned). When you’re ready to eat, you can go from stove to table using the included cups and cutlery, then wipe down with the included cleaning cloth.

That workflow is where this kind of kit shines: fewer decision points, fewer separate items, and less time hunting for the right spoon when everyone’s hungry.

¿Merece la pena?

Merece la pena si buscas un set compacto y “todo en uno” para cocinar y comer en la ruta o en el camping sin cargar con extras. The hard-anodised aluminium angle is also sensible for frequent outdoor use on the assumption that you value durability and faster boiling.

But it’s not a must-buy for everyone. If you care mainly about gourmet performance, want very specific simmering or frying control, or you already have cookware that suits your cooking style, you may find a smaller, more targeted add-on would be a better match.
