UL Cooking

[kayak karl]

I see some of these UL cook systems being used. such as a Heineken Pot. some say they just boil water with it.
What do you hydrate your food in?? Do you use the can? for example: you want to make a Knorr's noodle side. How do YOU go about doing it. ?? (and for the example it's cold out )

I do all my cooking FBC style now, with a cozy.

Freezer bag in a cozy?

[RED-DOG]

I use two Heineken pots and a cozy works great.

[RED-DOG]

Yeah Freezer bags works great with cozyies.

Freezer bag in a cozy?

[jeffmeh]

Here you go Karl.

Put dry food in freezer bag, boil water in Heineken pot, pour water into freezer bag, stir, put freezer bag in cozy, wait ten minutes or so for food to rehydrate, stir again, eat.

Also, lots of info at the trailcooking site.

i use the caldera cone and one-pot-system. would i really save much weight by having cozy, bags and pot?

now im at 7.4 with fuel container, no fuel.

kk,

Does your CC have the caddy witht the reflectix insulation? Mine is a 32 oz food-grade plastic container by Ziploc, which serves as the cozy where I place the freezer bag to with hot water then screw on the lid and let it sit awhile. The Keg has a cozy , and the whole thing is lighter. My CC has a .9 L pot (really more than I need).

[jakedatc]

You can go with a possibly smaller pot than you have now .7L is nice 4.5oz. you need to keep you food in bags anyway so that is a wash.. my cozy fits a quart size bag at 35g. not having to wash a pot is pretty nice and saves water. saves fuel by not having to simmer.

whole setup lighter? i keep trying, but with zip-lok its closer to 9 ozs.

i have the 3 cup system quoted at 11.3, but i don't carry the ziplok container or cozy.
the .9 pot (similar weight pots) but is quoted at 7.5 oz. i have this one also, but it weights 11.2 ???

The F keg shows 6.3 oz., I think.

i have never had bags with me. why would i need them? can you buy just a few bags in town? i've seen them in 25-50-100
also 35g thats 6+ oz. for 5 bags.

[jakedatc]

No, the cozy weighs 35oz. that is reusable for a very long time. what do you carry your food in? I repackage all my dinners into 1qt freezer bags. at a resupply you could split a box of 25 with a few people.. keep some for the next resupply. 1 bag is 6g so even 10 is 2oz..

35g, I think you mean.

[jakedatc]

yea... that one. Tipi got all excited there was a 35oz cozy he could haul 20days to keep his food warm

I knew that! Jakes' entire pack doesn't weigh 35ozs.

+1 on FBC. Lightweight, megasimple, no mess to clean up...

[Starchild]

35g, I think you mean.

A 35 oz cozy would be a sleeping bag

[jakedatc]

I knew that! Jakes' entire pack doesn't weigh 35ozs.

my pack empty... correct

i have heard and seen people using jackets and other clothing things to use as a cozy instead... but i don't like risking getting those wet or covered in food.
