Cook sets · the two that publish a weight

THTYBROS 17-piece set, 1.7 l pot vs yourGEAR Ranger V, 7 pieces for 4–5

Two hard-anodised sets that both publish a weight and a packed size — which one publishes the rest?

By

Nine cook sets sit in this hub and only these two publish a weight and a packed size together, which is why they are here rather than any other pair. From there they diverge: one gives its pots in litres and no lid, the other gives three lids and no litres. The wall thickness column is blank on both, as it is on all nine sets, and so is the heat exchanger base.

Each tick belongs to its own line and nothing more. The row of ticks is not a score: the two verdicts underneath settle the page, because these two answer different questions on the trail.

Which one, for whom

Buy the THTYBROS 17-piece set, 1.7 l pot

The THTYBROS is the set to take if you want to know what you are cooking in: 1.7 litres for the pot and 1.15 for the kettle are published, which on this shelf is close to unique, and the packed bundle is the smaller of the two. It publishes those figures in inches, pounds and litres at once, and it publishes no lid.

Buy the yourGEAR Ranger V, 7 pieces for 4–5

The yourGEAR is the lighter set on the published figures, 1050 g against 1.25 kg, and it is the one that publishes lids — three of them, one per pot — plus folding insulated handles. It never says how many litres any of those three pots hold, so match it to a group size rather than to a recipe.

What people ask before buying

Why compare a 17-piece set with a 7-piece one?

Because the piece count is the least comparable thing on the page. Both are hard-anodised aluminium sets sold for a group, both publish a weight and a packed size, and both are bought for the same trip. Counting pieces would put plates and a sponge on the same footing as a pot; comparing what each maker publishes about the cooking vessels does not.

Does “non-stick coating” tell you anything useful here?

Only that the maker states one. The yourGEAR listing does not name the coating and gives no utensil guidance; the THTYBROS listing claims no coating at all and names hard anodising as its surface treatment instead. Those are two different statements, not a better and a worse one, and neither has a figure behind it.

    yourGEAR Ranger V, 7 pieces for 4–5

    Hard-anodised aluminium · 3 pots with lids and 1 pan · 1050 g stated · 21 × 21 × 15 cm packed · folding insulated handles · non-stick coating

    Three pots, three lids and a pan for four or five people, with a stated packed size and a stated weight — and no litres against any of the three pots.

    Best for: A group of four or five at a fixed pitch, where three covered pots matter more than a low pack weight.
