Snowpeak Cookset vs Magma 10 Piece

[mrshish]

I am getting ready to order some nesting pots and pans and was going to go with the Snowpeak Cookset 1. Then I read the pots and pans thread here and learned about the Magma 10 piece set. Now I'm a little torn and was going to see if anyone here has handled both and have an opinion one way or another.

Magma

I've got the Snow Peak set (bought it on Craigslist for $40- a steal). I am very happy with it. I like having covers for all the pots. The fry pan seasons nicely for no-stick cooking but takes a bit of care (to keep it from rusting don't pack it wet). I imagine the Magma pan is more prone to sticking but I haven't used one.

Been pretty happy with my Magma set so far, but cooking an omelet awhile back in the fry pan it stuck some.
Never had had much luck with stainless for non stick when cooking eggs, that is where my Lodge cast iron excels.

But as stated in that thread you linked to, I am going to get the ceramic coated blue stainless steel set when Magma releases it this coming January.
It is suppose to be non stick with the ceramic interior.



The other pots though of Magma's I have no issue with food sticking suck as soups or noodle box dinners.

We have the Magma 10 piece set and have been using them every day for a year now on our Coleman power house dual fuel stove. I really can`t say enough great things about the set. We have the standard Teflon set and the only issue we have had is with the fry pan. Up until about three months ago the Teflon has started give way and sticking is becoming an issue. My wife and I were on Magma's site and noticed the new Ceramic non stick so we are thinking of giving that a try. By the way the Coleman stove and dual fuel lanterns have been flawless as well. Being able to nest your pans is a huge space saver. The pots and pans can be used as a weapon if you need to. LOL they are built with purpose so you don`t feel like you holding a cheap piece of aluminum. The bottoms are thick and distribute heat evenly so no hot spots. For us they have been worth every penny we`ve spent on them. They are pricy but then again you get what you pay for.

See the pots and pans thread, I have had the Ceramica set now for a few weeks and I dig it.
Non stick, my cheese and tomato omelet slid right out of the pan with zero oil in the pan.
