The handles look like they collapse against the sides of the pot for easier storage. Is this so?

Yes they do. With the handles folded, all pots will fit together for easy storage. My kit even came with a net mesh bag for carrying.

You are right, the pans and pots take small space. But they are thin and small, I doubt the quality
1690159
yes that is correct. I love the pots for camping. The only real draw back to these are that the handles don't always stay out when you're using them They swing free which can be kind of annoying while you're cooking. Otherwise you'll love them. They clean up easy too.

Yes the handles fold over to the sides and this allows the pots to be stored inside of eachother.

I purchased two for my mother, I am NOT looking at one but believes the handles turn inward. I had no problem putting either one together.

Yes. It's no problem at all... yet they stay in place once you've positioned them. Pots and pans don't slide around so easily that they bang into each other if bumped.

No they do not. The handle folds down and it only needs a 9" space to be stored. I am very happy with mine. I have seen flimsier types for more than double the price.

I don't think that there would be an issue with the pots, but the handles have some plastic, which might get damaged.

No. Our only concern about the handles is that they are quite short. Other than that, they are fine.

there seems to be springback between the handles. I sure hope I answered this correctly.

No. The handles are relatively fixed (in that they only separate from resting side by side when you open the box) and can not be made/adjusted to lay one way or the other. They do expand when opening the box and it is conceivable that when fully opened another similar box (width) could be set on top, but it would also require that the storage area is open and exposed and bearing the respective weight.

not with an inch head space. Also, these pots don't have handles on the sides, so moving them when they are full or hot is difficult.

The description will state whether it has handles. If you will be moving your pots around get the ones with handles.

It folds over the top to lock the whole set together for storage. When you open it all up for use, the handle has a stop that keeps it from flopping around, so the handle does not lock into place per se but it does stay where it should be unless you turn the whole skillet upside down..

Yes the handle bends down. The entire pot is really nice. You must be careful but it will serve you well if you treat it well and it looks great on the stove when not being used. Give it a try. We love ours.

No! That handle is actually attached by two screws and nuts on the BOTTOM side. It runs down through the entire structure, holding it together. If the screws are removed, the rack crumbles down like a house of cards. Hope this helps. :》

No, while the handles are not solid loops, the tang that goes I to the pot is too long to pull out without bending them too much or bending the titanium sleeve. This is especially true for the top. Although each may be different from what I see from other answers. This is my second one and neither have been able to.

Yes. The handles are a separate piece so you can use them or not use them as you like.

The handles are screwed on to the pot and do periodically come loose. The good news is that the screws are easily tightened. This version of the handle, by the way, is better than the original.

LaVinnia, the handles should not get hot to the point you can't handle them. However, if the pot has been on the stove for several hours or if water ever over-boiled out of the pot, I would use a pot holder.
