Description
Roughly 30% lighter than most aluminum cooksets, this BlackLite Gourmet Cookset features the pots and skillets you'll need to whip up a hearty backcountry meal for yourself and a group of fellow climbers or backpackers. MSR designed this cooking set with a black finish that absorbs light and heat to improve cooking times and potentially save your stove fuel. Along the interiors of each pot and pan are nonstick coatings to reduce your cleaning time and help eliminate scouring. The lid fits perfectly over either pot or the skillet so you can seal in the heat while a dish in another pot is still cooking on the stove.

Customer Reviews
Great cookset. Fragile anti-stick coating
This cookset really served us well on a recent trip. Very compact, and the chamois between the pots was a great idea to prevent rattling, and also came in handy doing dishes a couple of times. The anti-stick coating is rally fragile, though, showing scuffs from several uses with a plastic spoon. No scratch-throughs, though. I would but it again.
Nice set
Good product and price. Took it camping and once everything is together, doesn't take much room. Holds up well.
Blacklite Gourmet Set Worth it...
This cookset comes up to temperature quickly and evenly, is easy to clean and has enough volume to cook for 4 hungry campers.
It is light, durable, and a definite upgrade from the stainless steel solo set that I previously owned. I was happy to find that I get a much larger set for the same weight that I was used to with the steel set. Can't beat aluminum!
My only concern, which is yet to develop, is the durability of the non-stick coating along the rims after repeatedly having the handle clamped on it and off during use. I guess time will tell?
Solid buy
Positives: This set is very compact, very light, and seems durable enough to handle being in a trail pack (I haven't field tested yet). It comes with two chamois-like cloths, with the stated purpose of using it for washing, drying, or storing the pieces together. The potholder also comes in a "pouch" made of the same material. It also comes with a mesh bag.
Negatives: The bottom scratches easily (I had it on a canister stove and the pot slid a little across it). Despite accurate measurements in the product description, I was still a little taken aback at how small the set is. Great for minimizing pack size, but not so great if you're cooking for more than two people.
Update 6/29: I used this on a four-day, three-night canoe trip for three people. Maybe I just hang out with people who eat an abnormal amount, but I don't think that's the case. If you don't mind cooking and eating in shifts, that's not a problem... but when you're trying to get breakfast done quickly to get back on the water and trail, it's irritating. The surface is very easy to clean and seems to heat pretty uniformly, though. In addition to the bottom scratching, the sides took some chipping and scratching under normal use.
No complains
The Teflon coating provides you a very good plus not only when cooking also when you need to wash them, it's easier to remove all the dirty using less soap. A little big (not complains, I'm Happy with them) for one person traveling with little backapck or bike panniers but they are enough also for two or maybe three persons.
They are better than the aluminium or stanley steel ones.
You only have to add a little cup or mug in order to drink hot beverages on your trip
