MSR BlackLite Gourmet Set

Hiking & Camping > CookwearRated: ***** by 7 reviews.

Altrec

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.

Features:

  • Black exterior finish enhances cooking time
  • Designed for even heat distribution and uniform cookingQ 2-liter potQ 1.5-liter potQ 7.2-in. (18.5-cm.) dia. skilletQ lid sized to cover either pot or skillet

My Staple Cook Set

Rating:*****
I bought this 3 years ago and it has gone on every trip I've been on since. The non-stick still doesn't stick and I would never purchase a cook set with out it. I can cook my meal, rinse the pot and I'm good to go for the next meal. No hassle, no scraping, its fantastic.

strong and non-stick

Rating:****
I bought the 7 inch skillet by itself and the only complaint I have is the fact that the pot grabber really cuts into the nice non-stick finish and anything metal that gets packed in with it can easily scratch. Try and protect it with cloth rather than paper products when packing. Sturdy quality product overall.

A must have for any trip

Rating:*****
These are fantastic! Super lightweight and pretty easy to pack. The non-stick surface really works making it super easy to clean after a meal and the detachable handle makes it easy to handle when they're hot. I wouldn't go on another camping trip without these. Worth every penny.

Hassle free cooking

Rating:*****
This cookset is fantastic! It easliy can handle a large breakfast for a group of people, or your own personal meals. Rinses off well, stores even better. I can't imagine life in the woods without it.

Nice and light weight

Rating:****
Great cookware and just the right size for cooking for two. The non-stick coating seems to work great but its easy to scratch if you are forced to use metal utensils.
