"Free Shipping. Optimus By Katadyn Terra Cookset (Fall 2008) The Optimus Terra Cookset by Katadyn saves time and fuel. Neoprene cover keeps food or water warm while cooking next course Keeps fingertips from getting burned while eating 2-in-1 concept - thin anodized aluminum pot for boiling + thicker Teflon pot for simmering sauces and stews Silent design - pots nest tightly to prevent rattling inside your pack"

From Backcountry.com:
"The three-piece Optimus Terra Cookset includes two pots, a fry pan, and an insulated case that allows you to slow-cook food even after you shut off the stove. Optimus pulled out all the tricks to make this pot set only 23 ounces. The Terra Cookset's fry pan doubles as a lid and can be used with either pot. Optimus also included an ultralight pot grabber. Add up the fuel you'll save with this set of pots, and you can shave lots of pack weight."

"Works well with smaller stoves, gripping nicely. Pot handle is good. Bowls are rounded for easy cleaning. One of the bowls in not coated, just anodised finish inside.

The non-stick coating is not the most durable and the neoprene type cover for keeping things warm/packing away has NEVER fitted the set again once it was used a first time."

"Great product. . . very well made and the pot warmer, believe it or not works well. . . cook the food then put it in a bowl and cover. . . will stay warm even on cool days.

The pans / pots work well the non stick coating is great and durable and the ridge bottom makes them stable too."
