From Backcountry.com:
"Prepare multi-course meals at base camp or on car-camping adventures with MSR's BlackLite Gourmet Cookset. This cookset includes 1.5- and 2-liter pots, a 7.2-inch fry pan and more. The BlackLite cookware combines the easy-to-clean properties of a nonstick coating with featherweight aluminum, so you can bring along multiple pans without feeling like you're packing the kitchen sink. This MSR cookset's lid fits all pots and the pan, its PanHandler allows you to shuffle pots around without sacrificing your fingers, and a Packtowl separates the pots so they don't get scratched."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"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."

"Yeah, the Blacklite is nice but I am about to sand the Teflon off. It's been chipping off since I got the set.

It cooks evenly enough and I have no issues with burned food. I am not a big fan of the lid; it doesn't fit as tight as I'd like it, especially since it just sits on the top."
