Aside from what you cook over, nothing is more important
to your gourmet trail cuisine than what you cook
your food in. What you need to look for in cookware
is a happy medium between lightweight material,
rugged construction, and ease of cleaning.
The Blacklite Gourmet Cookset is made of featherweight
aluminum with a non-stick coating. Cleaning this
cookware was an absolute breeze. We cooked everything
from dehydrated trail food, to ranch style beans
to pasta with sausage in them, trying to find a
combination that would stick to the pot. Even when
we intentional burned the contents of the pot, it
took very little effort to clean up. Of course,
we must remind you to avoid using metal utensils
on any non-stick surface if possible. This will
help avoid scratching the surface of the cookware
and will ensure that cleanup remains easy.
The BlackLite Gourmet Cookset includes a 1.5 liter
pot and a 2 liter pot, a 7 1/4 inch fry pan and
a fitted lid. This combination will cover just about
every cooking chore you would reasonably undertake
on the trail. The cookset also includes a PanHadler
pot lifter. All of the items in the BlacLite Cookset
nest together and fit neatly into the included stuff
sack. The entire cookset weighs in at only 23.5
ounces, making it well worth the minimal weight
in your pack.
