Way to much stuff, I usually love everything this guys has to say but this is just to much stuff to cary around for 3+ days. I use the old school U.S. Army mess kit, personally I think its much more practical.

Nice review
This video shows the "family" version, I just bought the "compact". Compact does not contain a baking pan so I use my normal pan already in my backpack.
I just bought it and only used it once to bake a cake using a mix (only add water) from HomeMade (cinnamon flavor) and followed the instructions on the package. Excellent cake - even though my stove ran out of fuel and I had to fill half way.
I use a Coleman Feather 442 burner (fuel tank is under burner) - OK according to the shop.

Some people like to bake on the trail. Some people like to just rehydrate. Different stroke for different folks. Me, I like the quick light method of rehydration, but I'm not so purest to deny myself an occassional pizza on the trail!

Baking is too much trouble on the backpacking trail. See Tinny's Walmart rig at minibulldesigndotcom. Mountain House 'cooks' in the bag--which you must carry out, hopefully in a foil-lined recloseable potato-chip bag. Just add boiling water for MH means or ramen noodles. Put the dried food in reclosable gallon plastic bags that fit in and over the outside edges of the lightest tupperwear, which you should insulate with foil insulation. That way, no cleaning up, no packaging, either.

I have had an Outback Oven for over ten years now and it is absolutely great. I have used it mostly for winter trips (with sled), kayaking car trips and shorter backpacking trips. Pizza, lasagne, brownies... Everybody loves what comes out of it. /kiravuo

Not everyone enjoys backpacking ready to eat meals. I find them gross by the second day. Being able to cook a real meal is not a big deal; it is not "too much trouble".
