RE: Stanley Base Camp Cook Set ~ My Compact Kitchen
That does look like a solid one.
I always found the bottom heat plates are too thin or the wrong material and heated too hot too fast over the open camping flames. Why they couldn’t make them smaller and fit together and just add a few more millimetres of bottom was beyond me.
I usually have some water boiling pots and just strap a real frying pan to the gear!

The included fry pan is actually really good Zeke. The problem with making the stainless thicker is it doesn't address the problem that is inherent to stainless steel, it basically has no heat dispersion properties. That's why they need to layer it with another metal like copper or aluminium to allow for even heating.
Stainless on its own simply creates unmanageable hotspots wherever the flame/heat is applied. This is definitely not a set you would backpack with! Much too heavy and bulky for that.
