Does it say how big the casseroles and saucepans are?

That's literally cut and pasted from the email I got, so, no. 'Large' is a bit generic. Also, three saucepans doesn't seem like very many. I can't remember how many passengers you will have - any chance of bunging an extra saucepan or two into the load?

That's what I was thinking. I'm actually thinking about buying something specifically for Camp Sparkle. You can get very cheap-n-nasty sets of pots like these and these, which would probably be perfectly serviceable for something that will only get used a few times a year.

Alternatively, I could get one large better-made stockpot. I have been thinking about buying one, anyway. Then if I brought that we'd be guaranteed one decent sized pot, plus whatever's in the house -- a whole 4 or five might be overkill.

Hmmmm.

My Cajun jambalaya needs a pot that food can be boiled in and also be covered...can we assume "3 large casserole pots" work as such? I'm picturing a casserole "pot" as a low baking dish, possibly with a glass lid, not something to boil stew and whatnot on the range top. I could probably make the wok work for such, but it seems a bit odd such a place would have no stew pots, doesn't it? If it doesn't, either of those that you linked to look ideal.
