From Campmor:
"The nFORM Ultralight line has taken the unique needs of fast and light backpacking and built a system of solutions that defy the notion that ultralight means making sacrifices. Time, comfort, efficiency, performance and ultra-light weight in a system built for one. Crushproof, dual-use lid made of BPA-Free resin prevents deformation of your pot/lid while serving as a Sip-It Lid or integrated strainer. Convenient folding handle locks into place for cooking and secures entire set for transport, eliminating the need for a stuff sack. Unique mug/bowl solution with low center of gravity and Sip-It virtually eliminates spills while the integrated insulating sleeve keeps your drinks hot. Ingenious, welded stuff sack holds set while traveling and doubles as a sink or wash basin in camp. Material: Proprietary, Hard Anodized Alloy. Components: 1.1 L Pot, Strainer/Sip-It Lid, 14 fl. oz. insulated cup/bowl, Stove Bag. Measurements: 4.75 in. x 5.5 in. x 5.5 in. Weight: 0.594 lb."
From Backcountry.com:
"When you head out into the backcountry for some alone time, pack along the GSI Pinnacle Soloist cookset. This ultralight solo set uses GSI's nForm system to integrate your cooking and eating gear into a compact and durable package. Thanks to the nesting design, the 1.1-liter pot, bowl , and telescoping Foon (fork / spoon) all fit together with room for an ultralight folding stove and a small fuel canister (both sold separately). GSI also included a small bag to keep your stove from scratching the pot and a welded storage sack that doubles as a small wash basin."
From REI:
"A compact cook system for backcountry travelers, the GSI Pinnacle Soloist utilizes innovative design to maximize performance and minimize weight. Cook system includes a 14 fl. oz. insulated mug, 1.1-liter hard-anodized pot with polypropylene lid, telescoping Foon, stove bag and stuff sack. Pinnacle-series hard-anodized aluminum pot distributes heat evenly for fast and efficient cooking; utilizes TeflonĀ® Radiance technology for supreme scratch resistance. Teflon Radiance features a specially formulated topcoat to enhance heat dispersion for quick heating; nonstick coating is tough enough to handle use with most metal utensils. BPA-free Infinity polypropylene mug/bowl has a low center of gravity and includes an integrated insulating sleeve to keep your drinks hot. Infinity pot lid is lightweight and durable; lid features an integrated strainer and doubles as a Sip-It lid for the mug. Infinity polypropylene has a high melting temperature, offers good impact resistance and is dishwasher safe. Silicone-coated handle on pot provides a comfortable, secure grip; handle locks into place for cooking and secures the entire set for transport. Ranging in length from 3.8 in. to 6 in., telescoping Foon combines a fork and spoon to save weight by eliminating the need for 2 utensils; made from BPA-free copolyester. Included stove bag holds your ultralight stove (sold separately) so it doesn't come into contact with your clean bowl, Foon or pot when stowed. Complete kit fits inside the included rugged stuff sack that doubles as a sink or wash basin."

The plastic cup is fine, but the flimsy foam band which insulates it is likewise impossible to clean thoroughly."

I use an alcohol can stove and boiling up to 16oz of water is relatively easy. The last time i used this set i cooked one cup of 10 minute rice (3min boiling time and 8min in the pot more or less)."

I like the quality of the product, you can tell it's not made with cheep materials. The lid that also converts to a sip lid for the mug is a great idea and I like the ease of use of the handle for the pot."

I have boiled water and cooked pasta in it, over a Pocket Rocket and an alcohol stove. The bowl is a great cup and the lid snaps down on it (upside down) to keep your drink warm."
