Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"Ultra light BlackLite aluminum for quick, even heating. 30 percent lighter than comparable cooksets. Durable non-stick coating for no stick, no scour convenience. Blackened exterior for greater heat absorption, increase fuel efficiency. Tight fitting lid with SnapLock handle stays up while in use, folds for packing. Non-slip grooved bottoms. Use plastic or wood cooking utensils to prevent scratches of non-stick surface."

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."

From REI:
"The MSR BlackLite Gourmet cook set includes all the pots you need to prepare a multicourse meal on the trail without the pain of KP duty. Includes 1.5- and 2-liter pots, fry pan, fitted lid, pot lifter, Packtowl™ dish cloth and reusable stuff sack. Aluminum nesting pots are ultra-lightweight and easy to pack; nonstick surface allows easy cooking and clean-up. Black, anodized exterior boosts heat absorption, which improves cooking times and saves fuel. Grooved bottom keeps pan from slipping and allows for even heat distribution. Rounded corners help heat travel up sides of pot more quickly, boosting efficiency. Closeout."

From RockCreek:
"The MSR BlackLite Gourmet Cookeset includes all the pots you need to prepare a multi-course meal on the trail without the pain of KP duty. Includes 1.5- and 2-liter pots, 7.2 in. (18.5 cm) Fry Pan, a lid that fits all pots and pan, PanHandler , stuff sack and chamois to separate the pots."

"After two trips I have noticed that the nonstick coating is starting to peel off of the big pot. Also it is not very non stick in the first place. Have bad problems with pancakes sticking in the frypan. On a positive note the cook set heats up rather quickly."

"Teflon chips a bit where the pot grips connect with the outside of the pot, but it barely chips at all for me. i find this set excellent for preparing meals which require more than boiling water, and due to the size of the kit, you can choose between your pot(s) or pan depending on what you plan or preparing."

"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."
