MSR BlackLite Gourmet Cookset

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $50

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. Also, the lid has a flip-up tab and that's how you lift it up. Steam normally comes up and gets my hand. I understand that might be a little picky, but it's my opinion.

The pots must also be lifted with a separate lifter (additional weight.) The entire set seems a little too bulky that I'd like. I have since switched to a Snowpeak titanium set, giving up some even heat distribution for a much more efficient and lighter design.
